script_tag(name:"insight", value:"The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to 3.12.31 to receive
various security and bugfixes.
Security issues fixed: CVE-2014-9322: A local privilege escalation in the
x86_64 32bit compatibility signal handling was fixed, which could be used
by local attackers to crash the machine or execute code.
CVE-2014-9090: Various issues in LDT handling in 32bit compatibility mode
on the x86_64 platform were fixed, where local attackers could crash the
machine.
CVE-2014-8133: Insufficient validation of TLS register usage could leak
information from the kernel stack to userspace.
CVE-2014-7826: kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel did not
properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the ftrace
subsystem, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial
of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a crafted application.
CVE-2014-3647: Nadav Amit reported that the KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine)
mishandled noncanonical addresses when emulating instructions that change
the rip (Instruction Pointer). A guest user with access to I/O or the MMIO
could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) of the
guest.
CVE-2014-3611: A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux
kernel's KVM subsystem handled PIT (Programmable Interval Timer)
emulation. A guest user who has access to the PIT I/O ports could use this
flaw to crash the host.
CVE-2014-3610: If the guest writes a noncanonical value to certain MSR
registers, KVM will write that value to the MSR in the host context and a
#GP will be raised leading to kernel panic. A privileged guest user could
have used this flaw to crash the host.
CVE-2014-7841: A remote attacker could have used a flaw in SCTP to crash
the system by sending a maliciously prepared SCTP packet in order to
trigger a NULL pointer dereference on the server.
CVE-2014-3673: The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel allowed remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a malformed
ASCONF chunk, related to net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c and
net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c.
CVE-2014-3185: Multiple buffer overflows in the command_port_read_callback
function in drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c in the Whiteheat USB Serial
Driver in the Linux kernel allowed physically proximate attackers to
execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and
system crash) via a crafted device that provides a large amount of (1)
EHCI or (2) XHCI data associated with a bulk response.
Bugs fixed: ...
