The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 rt-kernel was updated to 3.12.69 to receive
various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

  • CVE-2015-8962: Fixed a double free vulnerability in the SCSI subsystem
    that allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
    (memory corruption and system crash) (bnc#1010501).
  • CVE-2015-8963: Fixed a race condition in kernel/events/core.c that
    allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
    (use-after-free) (bnc#1010502).

    allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory
    (bnc#1010507).
  • 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)
    (bnc#1017710).
  • CVE-2016-7910: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability in the block
    subsystem that allowed local users to gain privileges (bnc#1010716).
