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

  The following security bugs were fixed:

  - CVE-2015-7550: A local user could have triggered a race between read and
  revoke in keyctl (bnc#958951).

  - CVE-2015-8539: A negatively instantiated user key could have been used
  by a local user to leverage privileges (bnc#958463).

  - CVE-2015-8543: The networking implementation in the Linux kernel did not
  validate protocol identifiers for certain protocol families, which
  allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer
  dereference and system crash) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging
  CLONE_NEWUSER support to execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application
  (bnc#958886).

  - CVE-2015-8550: Compiler optimizations in the XEN PV backend drivers
  could have lead to double fetch vulnerabilities, causing denial of
  service or arbitrary code execution (depending on the configuration)
  (bsc#957988).

  - CVE-2015-8551, CVE-2015-8552: xen/pciback: For
  XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi[Ix] only disable if device has MSI(X) enabled
  (bsc#957990).

  - CVE-2015-8569: The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect functions in
  drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel did not verify an address
  length, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from
  kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted
  application (bnc#959190).

  - CVE-2015-8575: Validate socket address length in sco_sock_bind() to
  prevent information leak (bsc#959399).

  The following non-security bugs were fixed:

  - ACPICA: Correctly cleanup after a ACPI table load failure (bnc#937261).

  - ALSA: hda - Fix noise problems on Thinkpad T440s (boo#958504).

  - Input: aiptek - fix crash on detecting device without endpoints
  (bnc#956708).

  - Re-add copy_page_vector_to_user()

  - Refresh patches.xen/xen3-patch-3.12.46-47 (bsc#959705).

  - Refresh patches.xen/xen3-patch-3.9 (bsc#951155).

  - Update
  patches.suse/btrfs-8361-Btrfs-keep-dropped-roots-in-cache-until-transaction

  - .patch (bnc#935087, bnc#945649, bnc#951615).

  - bcache: Add btree_insert_node() (bnc#951638).

  - bcache: Add explicit keylist arg to btree_insert() (bnc#951638).

  - bcache: Clean up keylist code (bnc#951638).

  - bcache: Convert btree_insert_check_key() to btree_insert_node()
  (bnc#951638).

  - bcache: Convert bucket_wait to wait_queue_head_t (bnc#951638).

  - bcache: Convert try_wait to wait_queue_head_t (bnc#951638).

  - bcache: Explicitly track btree node's parent (bnc#951638).

  - bcache: Fix a bug when detaching (b ...
