Security update for the Linux Kernel (important)

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 LTS kernel was updated to receive various
security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2017-15649: net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
  users to gain privileges via crafted system calls that trigger
  mishandling of packet_fanout data structures, because of a race
  condition (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that leads to a
  use-after-free, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-6346
  (bnc#1064388).
• CVE-2017-13080: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) allowed
  reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key (GTK) during the group key
  handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay frames from
  access points to clients (bnc#1063667).
• CVE-2017-15274: security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel did not
  consider the case of a NULL payload in conjunction with a nonzero length
  value, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL
  pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted add_key or keyctl system
  call, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-12192 (bnc#1045327).
• CVE-2017-15265: Use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel allowed
  local users to have unspecified impact via vectors related to
  /dev/snd/seq (bnc#1062520).
• 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-2017-12153: A security flaw was discovered in the
  nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux
  kernel This function did not check whether the required attributes are
  present in a Netlink request. This request can be issued by a user with
  the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and may result in a NULL pointer
  dereference and system crash (bnc#1058410).
• CVE-2017-12154: The prepare_vmcs02 function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the
  Linux kernel did not ensure that the "CR8-load exiting" and "CR8-store
  exiting" L0 vmcs02 controls exist in cases where L1 omits the "use TPR
  shadow" vmcs12 control, which allowed KVM L2 guest OS users to obtain
  read and write access to the hardware CR8 register (bnc#1058507).
• CVE-2017-14106: The tcp_disconnect function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the
  Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service
  (__tcp_select_window divide-by-zero error and system crash) by
  triggering a disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path
  (bnc#1056982).
• CVE-2017-14140: The move_pages system call in mm/migrate.c in the Linux
  kernel doesn’t 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 in the Linux kernel 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 in the Linux kernel
  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 is 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 in
  drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-bus.c in the Linux kernel 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-2017-7482: A potential memory corruption was fixed in decoding of
  krb5 principals in the kernels kerberos handling. (bnc#1046107).
• CVE-2017-7542: The ip6_find_1stfragopt function in
  net/ipv6/output_core.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause
  a denial of service (integer overflow and infinite loop) by leveraging
  the ability to open a raw socket (bnc#1049882).
• 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-2017-7541: The brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx function in
  drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the Linux
  kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow
  and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted
  NL80211_CMD_FRAME Netlink packet (bnc#1049645).
• CVE-2017-7518: The Linux kernel was vulnerable to an incorrect debug
  exception(#DB) error. It could occur while emulating a syscall
  instruction and potentially lead to guest privilege escalation.
  (bsc#1045922).
• CVE-2017-8924: The edge_bulk_in_callback function in
  drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
  obtain sensitive information (in the dmesg ringbuffer and syslog) from
  uninitialized kernel memory by using a crafted USB device (posing as an
  io_ti USB serial device) to trigger an integer underflow (bnc#1037182
  bsc#1038982).
• CVE-2017-8925: The omninet_open function in drivers/usb/serial/omninet.c
  in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service
  (tty exhaustion) by leveraging reference count mishandling (bnc#1037183
  bsc#1038981).
• CVE-2017-1000380: sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel was 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 might have been disclosed when a read and
  an ioctl happen at the same time (bnc#1044125).
• CVE-2017-9242: The __ip6_append_data function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c
  in the Linux kernel is too late in checking whether an overwrite of an
  skb data structure may occur, which allowed local users to cause a
  denial of service (system crash) via crafted system calls (bnc#1041431).
• CVE-2017-1000363: Linux drivers/char/lp.c Out-of-Bounds Write. Due to a
  missing bounds check, and the fact that parport_ptr integer is static, a
  ‘secure boot’ kernel command line adversary (could happen due to
  bootloader vulns, e.g. Google Nexus 6’s CVE-2016-10277, where due to a
  vulnerability the adversary has partial control over the command line)
  could overflow the parport_nr array in the following code, by appending
  many (>LP_NO) ‘lp=none’ arguments to the command line (bnc#1039456).
• CVE-2017-9076: The dccp_v6_request_recv_sock function in net/dccp/ipv6.c
  in the Linux kernel mishandled inheritance, which allowed local users to
  cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via
  crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890 (bnc#1039885).
• CVE-2017-9077: The tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock function in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c
  in the Linux kernel mishandled inheritance, which allowed local users to
  cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via
  crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890 (bnc#1040069).
• CVE-2017-9075: The sctp_v6_create_accept_sk function in net/sctp/ipv6.c
  in the Linux kernel mishandled inheritance, which allowed local users to
  cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via
  crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890 (bnc#1039883).
• CVE-2017-9074: The IPv6 fragmentation implementation in the Linux kernel
  did not consider that the nexthdr field may be associated with an
  invalid option, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service
  (out-of-bounds read and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact
  via crafted socket and send system calls (bnc#1039882).
• CVE-2017-7487: The ipxitf_ioctl function in net/ipx/af_ipx.c in the
  Linux kernel mishandled reference counts, which allowed local users to
  cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified
  other impact via a failed SIOCGIFADDR ioctl call for an IPX interface
  (bnc#1038879).
• CVE-2017-8890: The inet_csk_clone_lock function in
  net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c in the Linux kernel allowed attackers to
  cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified
  other impact by leveraging use of the accept system call (bnc#1038544).
• CVE-2017-7889: The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly
  enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM protection mechanism, which allowed
  local users to read or write to kernel memory locations in the first
  megabyte (and bypass slab-allocation access restrictions) via an
  application that opens the /dev/mem file, related to arch/x86/mm/init.c
  and drivers/char/mem.c (bnc#1034405).
