The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 RT kernel was updated to receive various
security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

  • CVE-2014-9922: The eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local
    users to gain privileges via a large filesystem stack that includes an
    overlayfs layer, related to fs/ecryptfs/main.c and fs/overlayfs/super.c
    (bsc#1032340).
  • CVE-2015-3288: mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel mishandled anonymous
    pages, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of
    service (page tainting) via a crafted application that triggers writing
    to page zero (bnc#979021).
  • CVE-2015-8970: crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux kernel did not
    verify that a setkey operation has been performed on an AF_ALG socket
    before an accept system call is processed, which allowed local users to
    cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash)
    via a crafted application that did not supply a key, related to the
    lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c (bnc#1008374 bsc#1008850).
  • 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-2016-2188: The iowarrior_probe function in
    drivers/usb/misc/iowarrior.c in the Linux kernel allowed physically
    proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference and system crash) via a crafted endpoints value in a USB
    device descriptor (bnc#970956).
  • CVE-2016-4997: The compat IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE and IP6T_SO_SET_REPLACE
    setsockopt implementations in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux
    kernel allow local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
    (memory corruption) by leveraging in-container root access to provide a
    crafted offset value that triggers an unintended decrement (bnc#986362).
  • CVE-2016-4998: The IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt implementation in the
    netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a
    denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly obtain sensitive
    information from kernel heap memory by leveraging in-container root
    access to provide a crafted offset value that leads to crossing a
    ruleset blob boundary (bnc#986365).
  • CVE-2016-5243: The tipc_nl_compat_link_dump function in
    net/tipc/netlink_compat.c in the Linux kernel did not properly copy a
    certain string, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive
    information from kernel stack memory by reading a Netlink message
    (bnc#983212).
  • CVE-2016-7117: Use-after-free vulnerability in the __sys_recvmmsg
    function in net/socket.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to
    execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that
    is mishandled during error processing (bnc#1003077).
  • CVE-2017-1000363: A buffer overflow in kernel commandline handling of
    the "lp" parameter could be used to bypass certain secure boot settings.
    (bnc#1039456).
  • CVE-2017-1000364: An issue was discovered in the size of the stack guard
    page on Linux, specifically a 4k stack guard page is not sufficiently
    large and can be "jumped" over (the stack guard page is bypassed), this
    affects Linux Kernel versions 4.11.5 and earlier (the stackguard page
    was introduced in 2010) (bnc#1039348).
  • CVE-2017-1000365: The Linux Kernel imposes a size restriction on the
    arguments and environmental strings passed through
    RLIMIT_STACK/RLIM_INFINITY (1/4 of the size), but did not take the
    argument and environment pointers into account, which allowed attackers
    to bypass this limitation (bnc#1039354).
  • CVE-2017-1000380: sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel is vulnerable
    to a data race in the ALSA /dev/snd/timer driver resulting in local
    users being able to read information belonging to other users, i.e.,
    uninitialized memory contents may be disclosed when a read and an ioctl
    happen at the same time (bnc#1044125).
  • CVE-2017-11176: The mq_notify function in the Linux kernel did not set
    the sock pointer to NULL upon entry into the retry logic. During a
    user-space close of a Netlink socket, it allowed attackers to cause a
    denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other
    impact (bnc#1048275).
  • CVE-2017-11473: Buffer overflow in the mp_override_legacy_irq() function
    in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
    to gain privileges via a crafted ACPI table (bsc#1049603).
  • CVE-2017-2636: Race condition in drivers/tty/n_hdlc.c in the Linux
    kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of
    service (double free) by setting the HDLC line discipline (bnc#1027565
    bsc#1028372).
  • CVE-2017-2647: The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local
    users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference and system crash) via vectors involving a NULL value for a
    certain match field, related to the keyring_search_iterator function in
    keyring.c (bnc#1030593).
  • CVE-2017-2671: The ping_unhash function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux
    kernel is too late in obtaining a certain lock and consequently cannot
    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-2017-5669: The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel
    did not restrict the address calculated by a certain rounding operation,
    which allowed local users to map page zero, and consequently bypass a
    protection mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by making
    crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged context
    (bnc#1026914).
  • CVE-2017-5970: The ipv4_pktinfo_prepare function in
    net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel allowed attackers to cause a
    denial of service (system crash) via (1) an application that made
    crafted system calls or possibly (2) IPv4 traffic with invalid IP
    options (bnc#1024938).
  • CVE-2017-5986: Race condition in the sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in
    net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a
    denial of service (assertion failure and panic) via a multithreaded
    application that peels off an association in a certain buffer-full state
    (bnc#1025235).
  • 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 bsc#1033287).
  • 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-2017-6348: The hashbin_delete function in net/irda/irqueue.c in the
    Linux kernel improperly manages lock dropping, which allowed local users
    to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted operations on IrDA
    devices (bnc#1027178).
  • 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-2017-6951: The keyring_search_aux function in
    security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause
    a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a
    request_key system call for the "dead" type (bnc#1029850).
  • CVE-2017-7184: The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in
    net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel did not validate certain size
    data after an XFRM_MSG_NEWAE update, which allowed local users to obtain
    root privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds
    access) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, as demonstrated
    during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2017 for the Ubuntu 16.10
    linux-image-* package 4.8.0.41.52 (bnc#1030573).
  • 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-2017-7261: 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-2017-7294: 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-2017-7308: 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 (integer

  • Move nr_cpus_allowed into a hole in struct_sched_entity instead of the
    one below task_struct.policy. RT fills the hole 29baa7478ba4 used, which
    will screw up kABI for RT instead of curing the space needed problem in
    sched_rt_entity caused by adding ff77e4685359. This leaves
    nr_cpus_alowed in an odd spot, but safely allows the RT entity specific
    data added by ff77e4685359 to reside where it belongs… nr_cpus_allowed
    just moves from one odd spot to another.
