SUSE-SU-2016:3069-1

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 RT kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

This feature was added:

• Support for the 2017 Intel Purley platform.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2016-5195: A local privilege escalation using MAP_PRIVATE was fixed, which is reportedly exploited in the wild (bsc#1004418).
• CVE-2016-0823: The pagemapopen function in fs/proc/taskmmu.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive physical-address information by reading a pagemap file, aka Android internal bug 25739721 (bnc#994759).
• CVE-2016-3841: The IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel mishandled options data, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system call (bnc#992566).
• CVE-2016-6828: Use after free in tcpxmitretransmitqueue or other tcp functions (bsc#994296)
• CVE-2016-5696: net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux kernel did not properly determine the rate of challenge ACK segments, which made it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to hijack TCP sessions via a blind in-window attack (bnc#989152)
• CVE-2016-6480: Race condition in the ioctlsendfib function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by changing a certain size value, aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability (bnc#991608)
• CVE-2016-4997: The compat IPTSOSETREPLACE and IP6TSOSETREPLACE setsockopt implementations in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by leveraging in-container root access to provide a crafted offset value that triggers an unintended decrement (bnc#986362).
• CVE-2015-7513: arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel did not reset the PIT counter values during state restoration, which allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and host OS crash) via a zero value, related to the kvmvmioctlsetpit and kvmvmioctlsetpit2 functions (bnc#960689).
• CVE-2013-4312: The Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass file-descriptor limits and cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by sending each descriptor over a UNIX socket closing it, related to net/unix/af_unix.c and net/unix/garbage.c (bnc#839104).
• CVE-2016-7425: A buffer overflow in the Linux Kernel in arcmsriopmessage_xfer() could have caused kernel heap corruption and arbitraty kernel code execution (bsc#999932)
