  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to 3.12.60 to receive
  various security and bugfixes.

  The following security bugs were fixed:

  - CVE-2014-9717: fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel processes MNT_DETACH
  umount2 system called without verifying that the MNT_LOCKED flag is
  unset, which allowed local users to bypass intended access restrictions
  and navigate to filesystem locations beneath a mount by calling umount2
  within a user namespace (bnc#928547).

  - CVE-2015-8816: The hub_activate function in drivers/usb/core/hub.c in
  the Linux kernel did not properly maintain a hub-interface data
  structure, which allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a
  denial of service (invalid memory access and system crash) or possibly
  have unspecified other impact by unplugging a USB hub device
  (bnc#968010).

  - CVE-2015-8845: The tm_reclaim_thread function in
  arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c in the Linux kernel on powerpc platforms
  did not ensure that TM suspend mode exists before proceeding with a
  tm_reclaim call, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service
  (TM Bad Thing exception and panic) via a crafted application
  (bnc#975533).

  - CVE-2016-0758: Fix ASN.1 indefinite length object parsing (bsc#979867).

  - CVE-2016-2053: The asn1_ber_decoder function in lib/asn1_decoder.c in
  the Linux kernel allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (panic)
  via an ASN.1 BER file that lacks a public key, leading to mishandling by
  the public_key_verify_signature function in
  crypto/asymmetric_keys/public_key.c (bnc#963762).

  - CVE-2016-2143: The fork implementation in the Linux kernel on s390
  platforms mishandled the case of four page-table levels, which allowed
  local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have
  unspecified other impact via a crafted application, related to
  arch/s390/include/asm/mmu_context.h and arch/s390/include/asm/pgalloc.h.
  (bnc#970504)

  - CVE-2016-2184: The create_fixed_stream_quirk function in
  sound/usb/quirks.c in the snd-usb-audio driver in the Linux kernel
  allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service
  (NULL pointer dereference or double free, and system crash) via a
  crafted endpoints value in a USB device descriptor (bnc#971125).

  - CVE-2016-2185: The ati_remote2_probe function in
  drivers/input/misc/ati_remote2.c in the Linux kernel allowed physically
  proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
  dereference and system crash) via a crafted endpoints value in a USB
  device descriptor (bnc#9711 ...
