The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel has been updated to
3.0.74 fix various security issues and bugs:
This update brings some features:
- Updated HD-audio drivers for Nvidia/AMD HDMI and
Haswell audio (FATE#314311 FATE#313695)
- Lustre enablement patches were added (FATE#314679).
- SGI UV (Ultraviolet) platform support. (FATE#306952)
Security issues fixed in this update:
- CVE-2013-0349: The hidp_setup_hid function in
net/bluetooth/hidp/core.c in the Linux kernel did not
properly copy a certain name field, which allowed local
users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by
setting a long name and making an HIDPCONNADD ioctl call.
- CVE-2012-2137: Buffer overflow in virt/kvm/irq_comm.c
in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local
users to cause a denial of service (crash) and to possibly
execute arbitrary code via vectors related to Message
Signaled Interrupts (MSI), irq routing entries, and an
incorrect check by the setup_routing_entry function before
invoking the kvm_set_irq function.
- CVE-2012-6549: The isofs_export_encode_fh function in
fs/isofs/export.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a
certain structure member, which allowed local users to
obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory via a
crafted application.
- CVE-2012-6548: The udf_encode_fh function in
fs/udf/namei.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a
certain structure member, which allowed local users to
obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory via a
crafted application.
- CVE-2013-0160: Timing side channel on attacks were
possible on /dev/ptmx that could allow local attackers to
predict keypresses like e.g. passwords. This has been fixed
by not updating accessed/modified time on the pty devices.
Note that this might break pty idle detection, so it might
get reverted again.
- CVE-2013-0216: The Xen netback functionality in the
Linux kernel allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of
service (loop) by triggering ring pointer corruption.
- CVE-2013-0231: The pciback_enable_msi function in the
PCI backend driver
(drivers/xen/pciback/conf_space_capability_msi.c) in Xen
for the Linux allowed guest OS users with PCI device access
to cause a denial of service via a large number of kernel
log messages.
- CVE-2013-0311: The translate_desc function in
drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux kernel did not properly
handle cross-region descriptors, which allowed guest OS
users to obtain host OS privileges by leveraging KVM guest
OS privileges.
- CVE-2013-0913: Integer overflow in
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c in the i915
driver in the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in
the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of
service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have
unspecified other impact via a crafted application that
triggers many relocation copies, and potentially leads to a
race condition.
- CVE-2013-0914: The flush_signal_handlers function in
kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel preserved the value of
the sa_restorer field across an exec operation, which makes
it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection
mechanism via a crafted application containing a sigaction
system call.
- CVE-2013-1767: Use-after-free vulnerability in the
shmem_remount_fs function in mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel
allowed local users to gain privileges or to cause a denial
of service (system crash) by remounting a tmpfs filesystem
without specifying a required mpol (aka mempolicy) mount
option.
- CVE-2013-1772: The log_prefix function in
kernel/printk.c in the Linux kernel 3.x did not properly
remove a prefix string from a syslog header, which allowed
local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow
and system crash) by leveraging /dev/kmsg write access and
triggering a call_console_drivers function call.
- CVE-2013-1774: The chase_port function in
drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel allowed
local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
dereference and system crash) via an attempted /dev/ttyUSB
read or write operation on a disconnected Edgeport USB
serial converter.
- CVE-2013-1792: Race condition in the
install_user_keyrings function in
security/keys/process_keys.c in the Linux kernel allowed
local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
dereference and system crash) via crafted keyctl system
calls that trigger keyring operations in simultaneous
threads.
- CVE-2013-1796: The kvm_set_msr_common function in
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure a
required time_page alignment during an MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME
operation, which allowed guest OS users to cause a denial
of service (buffer overflow and host OS memory corruption)
or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
application.
- CVE-2013-1797: Use-after-free vulnerability in
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS
users to cause a denial of service (host OS memory
corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
crafted application that triggers use of a guest physical
address (GPA) in (1) movable or (2) removable memory during
an MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME kvm_set_msr_common operation.
- CVE-2013-1798: The ioapic_read_indirect function in
virt/kvm/ioapic.c in the Linux kernel did not properly
handle a certain combination of invalid IOAPIC_REG_SELECT
and IOAPIC_REG_WINDOW operations, which allows guest OS
users to obtain sensitive information from host OS memory
or cause a denial of service (host OS OOPS) via a crafted
application.
- CVE-2013-1848: fs/ext3/super.c in the Linux kernel
used incorrect arguments to functions in certain
circumstances related to printk input, which allowed local
users to conduct format-string attacks and possibly gain
privileges via a crafted application.
- CVE-2013-1860: Heap-based buffer overflow in the
wdm_in_callback function in drivers/usb/class/cdc-wdm.c in
the Linux kernel allowed physically proximate attackers to
cause a denial of service (system crash) or to possibly
execute arbitrary code via a crafted cdc-wdm USB device.
- CVE-2013-2634: net/dcb/dcbnl.c in the Linux kernel
did not initialize certain structures, which allowed local
users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack
memory via a crafted application.
- CVE-2013-2635: The rtnl_fill_ifinfo function in
net/core/rtnetlink.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize
a certain structure member, which allowed local users to
obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a
crafted application.
- CVE-2013-0268: The msr_open function in
arch/x86/kernel/msr.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
users to bypass intended capability restrictions by
executing a crafted application as root, as demonstrated by
msr32.c.
