______________________________________________________________________________

 

An update that solves 8 vulnerabilities and has 26 fixes is

now available.

 

Description:

 

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to receive various

security and bugfixes.

 

Following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2015-7550: A local user could have triggered a race between read and

revoke in keyctl (bnc#958951).

- CVE-2015-8539: A negatively instantiated user key could have been used

by a local user to leverage privileges (bnc#958463).

- CVE-2015-8543: The networking implementation in the Linux kernel did not

validate protocol identifiers for certain protocol families, which

allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer

dereference and system crash) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging

CLONE_NEWUSER support to execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application

(bnc#958886).

- CVE-2015-8550: Compiler optimizations in the XEN PV backend drivers

could have lead to double fetch vulnerabilities, causing denial of

service or arbitrary code execution (depending on the configuration)

(bsc#957988).

- CVE-2015-8551, CVE-2015-8552: xen/pciback: For

XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi[|x] only disable if device has MSI(X) enabled

(bsc#957990).

- CVE-2015-8569: The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect functions in

drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel did not verify an address

length, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from

kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted

application (bnc#959190).

- CVE-2015-8575: Validate socket address length in sco_sock_bind() to

prevent information leak (bsc#959399).

 

The following non-security bugs were fixed:

- ACPICA: Correctly cleanup after a ACPI table load failure (bnc#937261).
