The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 LTSS kernel was updated to receive
various security and bugfixes.

This is the last planned LTSS kernel update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server 11 SP2 LTSS.

The following security bugs were fixed:

  • CVE-2016-10088: The sg implementation in the Linux kernel did not
    properly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNEL_DS
    option is set, which allowed local users to read or write to arbitrary
    kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by
    leveraging access to a /dev/sg device, related to block/bsg.c and
    drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an
    incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576 (bnc#1017710).
  • CVE-2004-0230: TCP, when using a large Window Size, made it easier for
    remote attackers to guess sequence numbers and cause a denial of service
    (connection loss) to persistent TCP connections by repeatedly injecting
    a TCP RST packet, especially in protocols that use long-lived
    connections, such as BGP (bnc#969340).
  • CVE-2016-8632: The tipc_msg_build function in net/tipc/msg.c in the
    Linux kernel did not validate the relationship between the minimum
    fragment length and the maximum packet size, which allowed local users
    to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer
    overflow) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (bnc#1008831).
  • CVE-2016-8399: An out of bounds read in the ping protocol handler could
    have lead to information disclosure (bsc#1014746).
  • CVE-2016-9793: The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the
    Linux kernel mishandled negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf,
    which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory
    corruption and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact
    by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a crafted setsockopt
    system call with the (1) SO_SNDBUFFORCE or (2) SO_RCVBUFFORCE option
    (bnc#1013531).
  • CVE-2012-6704: The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the
    Linux kernel mishandled negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf,
    which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory
    corruption and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact
    by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a crafted setsockopt
    system call with the (1) SO_SNDBUF or (2) SO_RCVBUF option (bnc#1013542).
  • CVE-2016-9756: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel did not
    properly initialize Code Segment (CS) in certain error cases, which
    allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack
    memory via a crafted application (bnc#1013038).
  • CVE-2016-3841: The IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel mishandled options
    data, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of
    service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system
    call (bnc#992566).
  • CVE-2016-9685: Multiple memory leaks in error paths in
    fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause
    a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted XFS filesystem
    operations (bnc#1012832).
  • CVE-2015-1350: The VFS subsystem in the Linux kernel 3.x provides an
    incomplete set of requirements for setattr operations that
    underspecified removing extended privilege attributes, which allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (capability stripping) via a
    failed invocation of a system call, as demonstrated by using chown to
    remove a capability from the ping or Wireshark dumpcap program
    (bnc#914939).
  • CVE-2015-8962: Double free vulnerability in the sg_common_write function
    in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain
    privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system
    crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call (bnc#1010501).
  • CVE-2016-9555: The sctp_sf_ootb function in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in
    the Linux kernel lacked chunk-length checking for the first chunk, which
    allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
    slab access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted SCTP
    data (bnc#1011685).

    function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
    gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop operation
    even if the corresponding start operation had failed (bnc#1010716).
  • CVE-2016-7911: Race condition in the get_task_ioprio function in
    block/ioprio.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain
    privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted
    ioprio_get system call (bnc#1010711).

    drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
    obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a tty data
    structure (bnc#1010507).
  • CVE-2016-7916: Race condition in the environ_read function in
    fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain
    sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a /proc/*/environ
    file during a process-setup time interval in which environment-variable
    copying is incomplete (bnc#1010467).

    attempting to trigger use of in-kernel hash algorithms for a socket that
    has received zero bytes of data (bnc#1010150).
  • CVE-2016-8633: drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7,
    in certain unusual hardware configurations, allowed remote attackers to
    execute arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets (bnc#1008833).
  • CVE-2016-7042: The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in
    the Linux kernel used an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout data,
    which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory
    corruption and panic) by reading the /proc/keys file (bnc#1004517).
  • CVE-2016-7097: The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel
    preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allowed local
    users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid
    program with restrictions on execute permissions (bnc#995968).
  • CVE-2017-5551: The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel
    preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allowed local
    users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid
    program with restrictions on execute permissions. This CVE tracks the
    fix for the tmpfs filesystem. (bsc#1021258).
  • CVE-2015-8956: The rfcomm_sock_bind function in
    net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
    obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference) via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth
    RFCOMM socket (bnc#1003925).

    PIT counter values during state restoration, which allowed guest OS
    users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and host OS
    crash) via a zero value, related to the kvm_vm_ioctl_set_pit and
    kvm_vm_ioctl_set_pit2 functions (bnc#960689).
  • CVE-2013-4312: The Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass
    file-descriptor limits and cause a denial of service (memory
    consumption) by sending each descriptor over a UNIX socket before
