Affected Products:

openSUSE 13.2

______________________________________________________________________________

 

An update that solves 7 vulnerabilities and has 7 fixes is

now available.

 

Description:

 

 

The openSUSE 13.2 kernel was updated to receive various security and

bugfixes.

 

Following security bugs were fixed:

* CVE-2015-3290: arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel on the

x86_64 platform improperly relied on espfix64 during nested NMI

processing, which allowed local users to gain privileges by triggering

an NMI within a certain instruction window (bnc#937969)

* CVE-2015-0272: It was reported that it's possible to craft a Router

Advertisement message which will bring the receiver in a state where new

IPv6 connections will not be accepted until correct Router Advertisement

message received. (bsc#944296).

* CVE-2015-5283: The sctp_init function in net/sctp/protocol.c in the

Linux kernel had an incorrect sequence of protocol-initialization steps,

which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic or memory

corruption) by creating SCTP sockets before all of the steps have

finished (bnc#947155).

* CVE-2015-1333: Memory leak in the __key_link_end function in

security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause

a denial of service (memory consumption) via many add_key system calls

that refer to existing keys. (bsc#938645)

* CVE-2015-5707: Integer overflow in the sg_start_req function in

drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a

denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large

iov_count value in a write request. (bsc#940338)

* CVE-2015-2925: An attacker could potentially break out of a namespace

or container, depending on if he had specific rights in these

containers. (bsc#926238).

* CVE-2015-7872: A vulnerability in keyrings garbage collector allowed a

local user to trigger an oops was found, caused by using request_key()

or keyctl request2. (bsc#951440)

 

 

The following non-security bugs were fixed:

- input: evdev - do not report errors form flush() (bsc#939834).

- NFSv4: Recovery of recalled read delegations is broken (bsc#942178).

- apparmor: temporary work around for bug while unloading policy

(boo#941867).

- config/x86_64/ec2: Align CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is

enabled in every other kernel flavor, so enable it for x86_64/ec2 as

well.

- kernel-obs-build: add btrfs to initrd This is needed for kiwi builds.

- mmc: card: Do not access RPMB partitions for normal read/write

(bnc#941104).

- netback: coalesce (guest) RX SKBs as needed (bsc#919154).

- rpm/kernel-obs-build.spec.in: Add virtio_rng to the initrd. This allows

to feed some randomness to the OBS workers.

- xfs: Fix file type directory corruption for btree directories

(bsc#941305).

- xfs: ensure buffer types are set correctly (bsc#941305).

- xfs: inode unlink does not set AGI buffer type (bsc#941305).

- xfs: set buf types when converting extent formats (bsc#941305).

- xfs: set superblock buffer type correctly (bsc#941305).

- xhci: Add spurious wakeup quirk for LynxPoint-LP controllers

(bnc#951195).
