Summary
Security update for the Linux Kernel
Details

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

This new feature was added:

  • Btrfs: Remove empty block groups in the background

The following security bugs were fixed:

  • : Prevent disclosure of FPU registers (including XMM and AVX registers) between processes. These registers might contain encryption keys when doing SSE accelerated AES enc/decryption (bsc#1087086)
  • : Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and speculative execution of memory reads the addresses of all prior memory writes are known may have allowed unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis, aka Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), Variant 4 (bsc#1087082)
  • : Prevent vulnerability in modifyuserhw_breakpoint() that could have caused a crash and possibly memory corruption (bsc#1089895)
  • : The dogetmempolicy function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1091755).
