[SUSE-SU-2016:0354-1] Security update for the Linux Kernel
Security update for the Linux Kernel
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 Realtime kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
Following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2015-8104: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS
users to cause a denial of service (host OS panic or hang) by triggering
many #DB (aka Debug) exceptions, related to svm.c (bnc#954404).
- CVE-2015-5307: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS
users to cause a denial of service (host OS panic or hang) by triggering
many #AC (aka Alignment Check) exceptions, related to svm.c and vmx.c
(bnc#953527).
- CVE-2015-7990: RDS: Verify the underlying transport exists before
creating a connection, preventing possible DoS (bsc#952384, CVE-2015-7990).
- CVE-2015-5157: arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel on
the x86_64 platform mishandled IRET faults in processing NMIs that
occurred during userspace execution, which might allow local users to
gain privileges by triggering an NMI (bnc#937969 bnc#937970 bnc#938706
bnc#939207).
- CVE-2015-7872: The key_gc_unused_keys function in security/keys/gc.c
in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service
(OOPS) via crafted keyctl commands (bnc#951440).
- CVE-2015-8215: net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the IPv6 stack in the Linux
kernel did not validate attempted changes to the MTU value, which allowed
context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (packet loss)
via a value that is (1) smaller than the minimum compliant value or
(2) larger than the MTU of an interface, as demonstrated by a Router
Advertisement (RA) message that is not validated by a daemon, a different
vulnerability than CVE-2015-0272. NOTE: the scope of CVE-2015-0272 is
limited to the NetworkManager product. (bnc#955354).
- CVE-2015-6937: The __rds_conn_create function in net/rds/connection.c
in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service
(NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
other impact by using a socket that was not properly bound (bnc#945825).
- CVE-2015-6252: The vhost_dev_ioctl function in drivers/vhost/vhost.c
in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service
(memory consumption) via a VHOST_SET_LOG_FD ioctl call that triggers
permanent file-descriptor allocation (bnc#942367).
