The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to 4.4.58 to receive
various security and bugfixes.

Notable new/improved features:

  • Improved support for Hyper-V
  • Support for Matrox G200eH3
  • Support for tcp_westwood

The following security bugs were fixed:

  • CVE-2017-2671: The ping_unhash function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux
    kernel was too late in obtaining a certain lock and consequently could
    not ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which allowed local
    users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging access to the
    protocol value of IPPROTO_ICMP in a socket system call (bnc#1031003).
  • CVE-2017-7308: The packet_set_ring function in net/packet/af_packet.c in
    the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain block-size data,
    which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (overflow) or
    possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls
    (bnc#1031579).
  • CVE-2017-7294: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in
    drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel did not
    validate addition of certain levels data, which allowed local users to
    trigger an integer overflow and out-of-bounds write, and cause a denial
    of service (system hang or crash) or possibly gain privileges, via a
    crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device (bnc#1031440).
  • CVE-2017-7261: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in
    drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel did not
    check for a zero value of certain levels data, which allowed local users
    to cause a denial of service (ZERO_SIZE_PTR dereference, and GPF and
    possibly panic) via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device
    (bnc#1031052).
  • CVE-2017-7187: The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux
    kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (stack-based
    buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large
    command size in an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call, leading to out-of-bounds
    write access in the sg_write function (bnc#1030213).
  • CVE-2017-7374: Use-after-free vulnerability in fs/crypto/ in the Linux
    kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference) or possibly gain privileges by revoking keyring keys being
    used for ext4, f2fs, or ubifs encryption, causing cryptographic
    transform objects to be freed prematurely (bnc#1032006).
  • CVE-2016-10200: Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature in
    the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a
    denial of service (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls
    without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the SOCK_ZAPPED
    status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c and net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c
    (bnc#1028415).
  • CVE-2017-6345: The LLC subsystem in the Linux kernel did not ensure that
    a certain destructor exists in required circumstances, which allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON) or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1027190).
  • CVE-2017-6346: Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux
    kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free)
    or possibly have unspecified other impact via a multithreaded
    application that made PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls
    (bnc#1027189).
  • CVE-2017-6353: net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not properly
    restrict association peel-off operations during certain wait states,
    which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (invalid unlock
    and double free) via a multithreaded application. NOTE: this
    vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2017-5986
    (bnc#1027066).
  • CVE-2017-6214: The tcp_splice_read function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the
    Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (infinite loop and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with
    the URG flag (bnc#1026722).
  • CVE-2016-2117: The atl2_probe function in
    drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the Linux kernel incorrectly
    enables scatter/gather I/O, which allowed remote attackers to obtain
    sensitive information from kernel memory by reading packet data
    (bnc#968697).
  • CVE-2017-6347: The ip_cmsg_recv_checksum function in
    net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel had incorrect expectations
    about skb data layout, which allowed local users to cause a denial of
    service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via
    crafted system calls, as demonstrated by use of the MSG_MORE flag in
    conjunction with loopback UDP transmission (bnc#1027179).
  • CVE-2016-9191: The cgroup offline implementation in the Linux kernel
    mishandled certain drain operations, which allowed local users to cause
    a denial of service (system hang) by leveraging access to a container
    environment for executing a crafted application (bnc#1008842).
  • CVE-2017-2596: The nested_vmx_check_vmptr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c
    in the Linux kernel improperly emulated the VMXON instruction, which
    allowed KVM L1 guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS
    memory consumption) by leveraging the mishandling of page references
    (bnc#1022785).
  • CVE-2017-6074: The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c
    in the Linux kernel mishandled DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures
    in the LISTEN state, which allowed local users to obtain root privileges
    or cause a denial of service (double free) via an application that made
    an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO setsockopt system call (bnc#1026024).
