Affected Products:

openSUSE 13.2

______________________________________________________________________________

 

An update that solves 8 vulnerabilities and has 22 fixes is

now available.

 

Description:

 

The openSUSE 13.2 kernel was updated to version 3.16.7.

 

These security issues were fixed:

- CVE-2014-9322: A local privilege escalation in the x86_64 32bit

compatibility signal handling was fixed, which could be used by local

attackers to crash the machine or execute code. (bnc#910251)

- CVE-2014-9090: The do_double_fault function in arch/x86/kernel/traps.c

in the Linux kernel did not properly handle faults associated with the

Stack Segment (SS) segment register, which allowed local users to cause

a denial of service (panic) via a modify_ldt system call, as

demonstrated by sigreturn_32 in the linux-clock-tests test suite.

(bnc#907818)

- CVE-2014-8133: Insufficient validation of TLS register usage could leak

information from the kernel stack to userspace. (bnc#909077)

- CVE-2014-3673: The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through

3.17.2 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system

crash) via a malformed ASCONF chunk, related to net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c

and net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c (bnc#902346, bnc#902349).

- CVE-2014-3687: The sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack function in

net/sctp/associola.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel

through 3.17.2 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service

(panic) via duplicate ASCONF chunks that triggered an incorrect uncork

within the side-effect interpreter (bnc#902349).

- CVE-2014-3688: The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4

allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory

consumption) by triggering a large number of chunks in an association's

output queue, as demonstrated by ASCONF probes, related to

net/sctp/inqueue.c and net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c (bnc#902351).

- CVE-2014-7826: kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through

3.17.2 did not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the

ftrace subsystem, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause

a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a crafted

application (bnc#904013).

- CVE-2014-7841: The sctp_process_param function in

net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel

before 3.17.4, when ASCONF is used, allowed remote attackers to cause a

denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a

malformed INIT chunk (bnc#905100).
