  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.
