______________________________________________________________________________

 

An update that solves 9 vulnerabilities and has 70 fixes is

now available.

 

Description:

 

 

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel was updated to 3.12.57 to receive

various security and bugfixes.

 

The following security bugs were fixed:

 

- CVE-2015-8812: A flaw was found in the CXGB3 kernel driver when the

network was considered congested. The kernel would incorrectly

misinterpret the congestion as an error condition and incorrectly

free/clean up the skb. When the device would then send the skb's queued,

these structures would be referenced and may panic the system or allow

an attacker to escalate privileges in a use-after-free scenario.

(bsc#966437)

- CVE-2015-8816: A malicious USB device could cause a kernel crash in the

USB hub driver. (bnc#968010).

- CVE-2016-2143: On zSeries a fork of a large process could have caused

memory corruption due to incorrect page table handling. (bnc#970504)

- CVE-2016-2184: A malicious USB device could cause a kernel crash in the

alsa usb-audio driver. (bsc#971125).

- CVE-2016-2384: A malicious USB device could cause a kernel crash in the

alsa usb-audio driver. (bsc#966693)

- CVE-2016-2782: A malicious USB device could cause a kernel crash in the

usb visor driver. (bnc#968670).

- CVE-2016-3139: A malicious USB device could cause a kernel crash in the

wacom driver. (bnc#970909).

- CVE-2016-3156: Removal of ipv4 interfaces with a large number of IP

addresses was taking very long. (bsc#971360).

- CVE-2015-8709: kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel mishandled uid and

gid mappings, which allowed local users to gain privileges by

establishing a user namespace, waiting for a root process to enter that

namespace with an unsafe uid or gid, and then using the ptrace system

call. NOTE: the vendor states "there is no kernel bug here (bnc#960561).
