Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 1 for SLE 15)
Details
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-25_3 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed:
CVE-2018-10938: It was found that a crafted network packet sent remotely by an attacker may force the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the cipsov4optptr() function in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c leading to a denial-of-service. A certain non-default configuration of LSM (Linux Security Module) and NetLabel should be set up on a system an attacker could leverage this flaw.
CVE-2018-10902: It was found that the raw midi kernel driver did not protect against concurrent access which lead to a double realloc (double free) in sndrawmidiinputparams() and sndrawmidioutputstatus(), allowing a malicious local attacker to use this for privilege escalation (bsc#1105323).
