  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to 3.12.36 to receive
  various security and bugfixes.

  The following security bugs were fixed:

  - CVE-2014-8559: The d_walk function in fs/dcache.c in the Linux kernel
  through 3.17.2 did not properly maintain the semantics of rename_lock,
  which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock and
  system hang) via a crafted application (bnc#903640).

  - CVE-2014-9420: The rock_continue function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the
  Linux kernel through 3.18.1 did not restrict the number of Rock Ridge
  continuation entries, which allowed local users to cause a denial of
  service (infinite loop, and system crash or hang) via a crafted iso9660
  image (bnc#906545 911325).

  - CVE-2014-3690: arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux
  kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors did not ensure that the value
  in the CR4 control register remained the same after a VM entry, which
  allowed host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of
  service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as
  demonstrated by PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU
  (bnc#902232).

  - CVE-2014-3687: The sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack function in
  net/sctp/associola.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel
  through 3.17.2 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
  (panic) via duplicate ASCONF chunks that triggered an incorrect uncork
  within the side-effect interpreter (bnc#902349).

  - CVE-2014-9585: The vdso_addr function in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the
  Linux kernel through 3.18.2 did not properly choose memory locations for
  the vDSO area, which made it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR
  protection mechanism by guessing a location at the end of a PMD
  (bnc#912705).

  The following non-security bugs were fixed:

  - ACPI idle: permit sparse C-state sub-state numbers (bnc#907969).

  - ALSA: hda - verify pin:converter connection on unsol event for HSW and
  VLV.

  - ALSA: hda - verify pin:cvt connection on preparing a stream for Intel
  HDMI codec.

  - ALSA: hda/hdmi - apply Valleyview fix-ups to Cherryview display codec.

  - ALSA: hda_intel: Add Device IDs for Intel Sunrise Point PCH.

  - ALSA: hda_intel: Add DeviceIDs for Sunrise Point-LP.

  - Btrfs: Disable
  patches.suse/Btrfs-fix-abnormal-long-waiting-in-fsync.patch (bnc#910697)
  because it needs to be revisited due partial msync behavior.

  - Btrfs: Fix misuse of chunk mutex (bnc#912514).

  - Btrfs: always clear a block group node when removing it from the tree
  (bnc#912514).
