                    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12-SP2-LTSS-ERICSSON

______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that solves 22 vulnerabilities and has four fixes
   is now available.

Description:

   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 LTSS kernel was updated to receive
   various security and bugfixes.


   The following security bugs were fixed:

   - CVE-2020-36312: Fixed an issue in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c that had a
     kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev memory leak upon a kmalloc failure
     (bnc#1184509).
   - CVE-2021-29650: Fixed an issue inside the netfilter subsystem that
     allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) because
     net/netfilter/x_tables.c and include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h lack a
     full memory barrier upon the assignment of a new table value
     (bnc#1184208).
   - CVE-2021-29154: Fixed BPF JIT compilers that allowed to execute
     arbitrary code within the kernel context (bnc#1184391).
   - CVE-2020-25673: Fixed NFC endless loops caused by repeated
     llcp_sock_connect() (bsc#1178181).
   - CVE-2020-25672: Fixed NFC memory leak in llcp_sock_connect()
     (bsc#1178181).
   - CVE-2020-25671: Fixed NFC refcount leak in llcp_sock_connect()
     (bsc#1178181).
   - CVE-2020-25670: Fixed NFC refcount leak in llcp_sock_bind()
     (bsc#1178181).
   - CVE-2021-28950: Fixed an issue in fs/fuse/fuse_i.h where a "stall on
     CPU" could have occured because a retry loop continually finds the same
     bad inode (bnc#1184194, bnc#1184211).
   - CVE-2021-30002: Fixed a memory leak issue when a webcam device exists
     (bnc#1184120).
   - CVE-2021-3483: Fixed a use-after-free bug in nosy_ioctl() (bsc#1184393).
   - CVE-2021-20219: Fixed a denial of service vulnerability in
     drivers/tty/n_tty.c of the Linux kernel. In this flaw a local attacker
     with a normal user privilege could have delayed the loop and cause a
     threat to the system availability (bnc#1184397).
   - CVE-2021-29265: Fixed an issue in usbip_sockfd_store in
     drivers/usb/usbip/stub_dev.c that allowed attackers to cause a denial of
     service (GPF) because the stub-up sequence has race conditions during an
     update of the local and shared status (bnc#1184167).
   - CVE-2021-29264: Fixed an issue in
     drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.c in the Freescale Gianfar
     Ethernet driver that allowed attackers to cause a system crash because a
     negative fragment size is calculated in situations involving an rx queue
     overrun when jumbo packets are used and NAPI is enabled (bnc#1184168).
   - CVE-2021-28972: Fixed an issue in drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_sysfs.c
     where the RPA PCI Hotplug driver had a user-tolerable buffer overflow
     when writing a new device name to the driver from userspace, allowing
     userspace to write data to the kernel stack frame directly. This occurs
     because add_slot_store and remove_slot_store mishandle drc_name '\0'
     termination (bnc#1184198).
   - CVE-2021-28660: Fixed rtw_wx_set_scan in
     drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c that allowed writing
     beyond the end of the ssid array (bnc#1183593).
   - CVE-2020-0433: Fixed blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter of blk-mq-tag.c, where a
     possible use after free due to improper locking could have happened.
     This could have led to local escalation of privilege with no additional
     execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for
     exploitation (bnc#1176720).
   - CVE-2021-27365: Fixed an issue inside the iSCSI data structures that
     does not have appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed
     the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can send a Netlink message
     that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length
     of a Netlink message (bnc#1182715).
   - CVE-2021-27363: Fixed an issue with a kernel pointer leak that could
     have been used to determine the address of the iscsi_transport
     structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI
     subsystem, the transport's handle is available to unprivileged users via
     the sysfs file system, at
     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When read, the
     show_transport_handle function (in drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c)
     is called, which leaks the handle. This handle is actually the pointer
     to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's global variables
     (bnc#1182716).
   - CVE-2021-27364: Fixed an issue in drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c
     where an unprivileged user can craft Netlink messages (bnc#1182717).
   - CVE-2020-36322: Fixed an issue in the FUSE filesystem implementation
     where fuse_do_getattr() calls make_bad_inode() in inappropriate
     situations, causing a system crash. NOTE: the original fix for this
     vulnerability was incomplete, and its incompleteness is tracked as
     CVE-2021-28950 (bnc#1184211 bnc#1184952).
   - CVE-2021-28038: Fixed an issue with Xen PV. A certain part of the
     netback driver lacks necessary treatment of errors such as failed memory
     allocations (as a result of changes to the handling of grant mapping
     errors). A host OS denial of service may occur during misbehavior of a
     networking frontend driver. NOTE: this issue exists because of an
     incomplete fix for CVE-2021-26931 (bnc#1183022 bnc#1183069 ).
   - CVE-2020-1749: Fixed a flaw with some networking protocols in IPsec,
     such as VXLAN and GENEVE tunnels over IPv6. When an encrypted tunnel is
     created between two hosts, the kernel isn't correctly routing tunneled
     data over the encrypted link; rather sending the data unencrypted. This
     would allow anyone in between the two endpoints to read the traffic
     unencrypted. The main threat from this vulnerability is to data
     confidentiality (bnc#1165629).

   The following non-security bugs were fixed:

   - KVM: Add proper lockdep assertion in I/O bus unregister (bsc#1185555).
   - KVM: Destroy I/O bus devices on unregister failure _after_ sync'ing SRCU
     (bsc#1185556).
   - KVM: Stop looking for coalesced MMIO zones if the bus is destroyed
     (bsc#1185557).
   - Xen/gnttab: handle p2m update errors on a per-slot basis (bsc#1183022
     XSA-367).
   - bluetooth: eliminate the potential race condition when removing the HCI
     controller (bsc#1184611).
   - ext4: check journal inode extents more carefully (bsc#1173485).
   - ext4: do not allow overlapping system zones (bsc#1173485).
   - ext4: handle error of ext4_setup_system_zone() on remount (bsc#1173485).
   - xen-netback: respect gnttab_map_refs()'s return value (bsc#1183022
     XSA-367).
