The openSUSE 13.2 kernel was updated to fix various bugs and security
issues.

The following security bugs were fixed:

  • CVE-2016-1583: Prevent the usage of mmap when the lower file system does
    not allow it. This could have lead to local privilege escalation when
    ecryptfs-utils was installed and /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private was setuid
    (bsc#983143).
  • CVE-2016-4913: The get_rock_ridge_filename function in fs/isofs/rock.c
    in the Linux kernel mishandles NM (aka alternate name) entries
    containing \0 characters, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive
    information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact
    via a crafted isofs filesystem (bnc#980725).
  • CVE-2016-4580: The x25_negotiate_facilities function in
    net/x25/x25_facilities.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize
    a certain data structure, which allowed attackers to obtain sensitive
    information from kernel stack memory via an X.25 Call Request
    (bnc#981267).
  • CVE-2016-0758: Tags with indefinite length could have corrupted pointers
    in asn1_find_indefinite_length (bsc#979867).

    a mount propagation tree in a certain case involving a slave mount,
    which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
