  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to version 3.12.43 to
  receive various security and bugfixes.

  The following security bugs were fixed:

  - CVE-2014-3647: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux
  kernel through 3.17.2 did not properly perform RIP changes, which
  allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via
  a crafted application (bsc#899192).

  - CVE-2014-8086: Race condition in the ext4_file_write_iter function in
  fs/ext4/file.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 allowed local users to
  cause a denial of service (file unavailability) via a combination of a
  write action and an F_SETFL fcntl operation for the O_DIRECT flag
  (bsc#900881).

  - CVE-2014-8159: The InfiniBand (IB) implementation did not properly
  restrict use of User Verbs for registration of memory regions, which
  allowed local users to access arbitrary physical memory locations, and
  consequently cause a denial of service (system crash) or gain
  privileges, by leveraging permissions on a uverbs device under
  /dev/infiniband/ (bsc#914742).

  - CVE-2015-1465: The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.18.8
  did not properly consider the length of the Read-Copy Update (RCU) grace
  period for redirecting lookups in the absence of caching, which allowed
  remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or
  system crash) via a flood of packets (bsc#916225).

  - CVE-2015-2041: net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19
  used an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allowed local users
  to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or
  possibly have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry
  (bsc#919007).

  - CVE-2015-2042: net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 used an
  incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allowed local users to
  obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly
  have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry (bsc#919018).

  - CVE-2015-2666: Fixed a flaw that allowed crafted microcode to overflow
  the kernel stack (bsc#922944).

  - CVE-2015-2830: Fixed int80 fork from 64-bit tasks mishandling
  (bsc#926240).

  - CVE-2015-2922: Fixed possible denial of service (DoS) attack against
  IPv6 network stacks due to improper handling of Router Advertisements
  (bsc#922583).

  - CVE-2015-3331: Fixed buffer overruns in RFC4106 implementation using
  AESNI (bsc#927257).

  - CVE-2015-3332: Fixed TCP Fast Open local DoS (bsc#928135).
