Affected Products:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12-LTSS
SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Public Cloud 12
______________________________________________________________________________
An update that solves 9 vulnerabilities and has 7 fixes is now available.
Description:
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel version 3.12.61 was updated to receive
various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
o CVE-2019-11477: A sequence of SACKs may have been crafted by a remote
attacker such that one can trigger an integer overflow, leading to a kernel
panic. (bsc#1137586).
o CVE-2019-11478: It was possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which
would fragment the TCP retransmission queue. A remote attacker may have
been able to further exploit the fragmented queue to cause an expensive
linked-list walk for subsequent SACKs received for that same TCP
connection.
o CVE-2019-11479: It was possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which
would fragment the RACK send map. A remote attacker may have been able to
further exploit the fragmented send map to cause an expensive linked-list
walk for subsequent SACKs received for that same TCP connection. This would
have resulted in excess resource consumption due to low mss values.
o CVE-2019-3846: A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and
possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex kernel module while
connecting to a malicious wireless network. (bnc#1136424)
o CVE-2019-5489: The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the Linux
kernel allowed local attackers to observe page cache access patterns of
other processes on the same system, potentially allowing sniffing of secret
information. (Fixing this affects the output of the fincore program.)
Limited remote exploitation may have been possible, as demonstrated by
latency differences in accessing public files from an Apache HTTP Server.
(bnc#1120843)
o CVE-2019-11833: fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel did not zero out the
unused memory region in the extent tree block, which might have allowed
local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized data
in the filesystem. (bnc#1135281)
o CVE-2019-11190: The Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass ASLR on
setuid programs (such as /bin/su) because install_exec_creds() is called
too late in load_elf_binary() in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and thus the
ptrace_may_access() check has a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat.
(bnc#1131543)
o CVE-2019-11884: The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in net/bluetooth/hidp/
sock.c in the Linux kernel allowed a local user to obtain potentially
sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a HIDPCONNADD command,
because a name field may not end with a '\0' character. (bnc#1134848)
o CVE-2018-17972: An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function in
fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel It did not ensure that only root may
inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task, allowing a local attacker to
exploit racy stack unwinding and leak kernel task stack contents. (bnc#
1110785)
The following non-security bugs were fixed:
o kabi: drop LINUX_MIB_TCPWQUEUETOOBIG snmp counter (bsc#1137586).
o lib: add "on"/"off" support to strtobool (bsc#1125931).
o powerpc/tm: Add commandline option to disable hardware transactional memory
(bsc#1125580).
o powerpc/tm: Add TM Unavailable Exception (bsc#1125580).
o powerpc/tm: Flip the HTM switch default to disabled (bsc#1125580).
o powerpc/vdso32: fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC on PPC64 (bsc#1131587).
o powerpc/vdso64: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC inconsistencies across Y2038 (bsc#
1131587).
o tcp: add tcp_min_snd_mss sysctl (bsc#1137586).
o tcp: enforce tcp_min_snd_mss in tcp_mtu_probing() (bsc#1137586).
o tcp: limit payload size of sacked skbs (bsc#1137586).
o tcp: tcp_fragment() should apply sane memory limits (bsc#1137586).
