"The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to receive various
security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2019-10638: In the Linux kernel, a device could be tracked by an
attacker using the IP ID values the kernel produces for
connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic was
sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it was possible to obtain
hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain
the hashing key (via enumeration). An attack may have been conducted
by hosting a crafted web page that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP
traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses (bnc#1140575 1140577).

CVE-2019-10639: The Linux kernel allowed Information Exposure (partial
kernel address disclosure), that lead to a KASLR bypass. Specifically,
it was possible to extract the KASLR kernel image offset using the IP
ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP
and ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple destination IP
addresses, it was possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to
the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via
enumeration). This key contains enough bits from a kernel address (of
a static variable) so when the key is extracted (via enumeration), the
offset of the kernel image is exposed. This attack could be carried
out remotely, by the attacker forcing the target device to send UDP or
ICMP (or certain other) traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses.
Forcing a server to send UDP traffic is trivial if the server is a DNS
server. ICMP traffic is trivial if the server answers ICMP Echo
requests (ping). For client targets, if the target visited the
attacker's web page, then WebRTC or gQUIC could be used to force UDP
traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses. NOTE: this attack against
KASLR became viable because IP ID generation was changed to have a
dependency on an address associated with a network namespace
(bnc#1140577).

CVE-2019-10126: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based
buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function in
drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might have lead to memory
corruption and possibly other consequences (bnc#1136935).

CVE-2018-20836: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel There was
a race condition in smp_task_timedout() and smp_task_done() in
drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c, leading to a use-after-free
(bnc#1134395).

CVE-2019-11599: The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel did
not use locking or other mechanisms to prevent vma layout or vma flags
changes while it ran, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive
information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have unspecified
other impact by triggering a race condition with mmget_not_zero or
get_task_mm call. This is related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c,
fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c
(bnc#1131645 1133738).

CVE-2019-12614: An issue was discovered in dlpar_parse_cc_property in
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c in the Linux kernel There was
an unchecked kstrdup of prop-name, which might have allowed an
attacker to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and
system crash) (bnc#1137194).

CVE-2019-12819: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel The
function __mdiobus_register() in drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c calls
put_device(), which would trigger a fixed_mdio_bus_init
use-after-free. This would cause a denial of service (bnc#1138291).

CVE-2019-12818: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel The
nfc_llcp_build_tlv function in net/nfc/llcp_commands.c may return
NULL. If the caller did not check for this, it would trigger a NULL
pointer dereference. This would cause a denial of service. This
affected nfc_llcp_build_gb in net/nfc/llcp_core.c (bnc#1138293).

CVE-2019-12456: A double-fetch bug in _ctl_ioctl_main() could lead to
a local denial of service attack (bsc#1136922 CVE-2019-12456).

CVE-2019-12380: An issue was discovered in the efi subsystem in the
Linux kernel phys_efi_set_virtual_address_map in
arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c and efi_call_phys_prolog in
arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c mishandle memory allocation failures.
NOTE: This id is disputed as not being an issue because ;All the code
touched by the referenced commit runs only at boot, before any user
processes are started. Therefore, there is no possibility for an
unprivileged user to control it (bnc#1136598).

CVE-2019-11487: The Linux kernel before allowed page-_refcount
reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-free issues, if
about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related to fs/fuse/dev.c,
fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c, include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h,
kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It could occur with
FUSE requests (bnc#1133190 1133191).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for
details.
