"This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.74-60_64_104 fixes several
issues.
The following security issues were fixed :
CVE-2019-11477: Jonathan Looney discovered that the
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value was subject to an integer overflow
when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs). A remote attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service. (bsc#1137586)
CVE-2019-11478: Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission
queue implementation in tcp_fragment could be fragmented when handling
certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (bsc#1137586)
This update contains a regression fix for CVE-2019-11477 and
CVE-2019-11478 (bsc#1140747).
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues.");
