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

The following security bugs were fixed:

  • CVE-2017-1000251: The native Bluetooth stack was vulnerable to a stack
    overflow vulnerability in the processing of L2CAP configuration
    responses resulting in remote code execution in kernel space
    (bnc#1057389).
  • CVE-2017-14340: The XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE macro in fs/xfs/xfs_linux.h
    did not verify that a filesystem has a realtime device, which allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and
    OOPS) via vectors related to setting an RHINHERIT flag on a directory
    (bnc#1058524).
  • CVE-2017-14140: The move_pages system call in mm/migrate.c did not check
    the effective uid of the target process, enabling a local attacker to
    learn the memory layout of a setuid executable despite ASLR
    (bnc#1057179).
  • CVE-2017-14051: An integer overflow in the
    qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in
    drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c allowed local users to cause a denial of
    service (memory corruption and system crash) by leveraging root access
    (bnc#1056588).
  • CVE-2017-10661: Race condition in fs/timerfd.c allowed local users to
    gain privileges or cause a denial of service (list corruption or
    use-after-free) via simultaneous file-descriptor operations that
    leverage improper might_cancel queueing (bnc#1053152).
  • CVE-2017-12762: In /drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_net.c a user-controlled buffer
    was copied into a local buffer of constant size using strcpy without a
    length check which can cause a buffer overflow (bnc#1053148).
  • CVE-2017-8831: The saa7164_bus_get function allowed local users to cause
    a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have
    unspecified
    other impact by changing a certain sequence-number value, aka a "double
    fetch" vulnerability (bnc#1037994).
  • CVE-2017-1000112: Prevent race condition in net-packet code that could
    have been exploited by unprivileged users to gain root
    access.(bnc#1052311).
