This kernel live patch for Linux Kernel 3.12.49-11.1 fixes security issues
and bugs:

Security issues fixed:

  • CVE-2015-8539: A negatively instantiated user key could have been used
    by a local user to leverage privileges (bnc#958601).

  • CVE-2015-6937: A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Reliable
    Datagram Sockets (RDS) implementation allowing a local user to cause
    system DoS. A verification was missing that the underlying transport
    exists when a connection was created. (bsc#953052)

  • CVE-2015-7990: RDS: Verify the underlying transport exists before
    creating a connection, preventing possible DoS (bsc#953052).

  • CVE-2015-7872: Possible crash when trying to garbage collect an
    uninstantiated keyring (bsc#951542).

Non-security bugfix were also done:

  • xfs: Fix lost direct IO write in the last block (bsc#954005).
