The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel version 4.4.121 was updated to receive
various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- 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).
- 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.
- CVE-2019-11479: It was possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which
would fragment the RACK send map. A remote attacker may be 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.
- 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)
- CVE-2019-12382: An issue was discovered in drm_load_edid_firmware in
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c in the Linux kernel There is an unchecked
kstrdup of fwstr, which may have allowed an attacker to cause a denial of service
(NULL pointer dereference and system crash). (bnc#1136586)
- 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)
- 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)
- CVE-2018-7191: In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel, dev_get_valid_name was
not called before register_netdevice. This allowed local users to cause a denial of
service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev
name containing a / character. This is similar to CVE-2013-4343. (bnc#1135603)
- 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
had a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat. (bnc#1131543)
- CVE-2019-11815: An issue was discovered in rds_tcp_kill_sock in net/rds/tcp.c
in the Linux kernel There was a race condition leading to a use-after-free,
related to net namespace cleanup. (bnc#1134537)
- 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 have ended with a '\0' character. (bnc#1134848)
- 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:
- cifs: keep FileInfo handle live during oplock break (bsc#1106284, bsc#1131565).
- ftrace/x86_64: Emulate call function while updating in breakpoint handler (bsc#1099658).
- kabi: drop LINUX_MIB_TCPWQUEUETOOBIG snmp counter (bsc#1137586).
- kabi: move sysctl_tcp_min_snd_mss to preserve struct net layout (bsc#1137586).
- mwifiex: Fix heap overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies() (bsc#1136935).
- tcp: add tcp_min_snd_mss sysctl (bsc#1137586).
- tcp: enforce tcp_min_snd_mss in tcp_mtu_probing() (bsc#1137586).
- tcp: limit payload size of sacked skbs (bsc#1137586).
- tcp: tcp_fragment() should apply sane memory limits (bsc#1137586).
- x86_64: Add gap to int3 to allow for call emulation (bsc#1099658).
- x86_64: Allow breakpoints to emulate call instructions (bsc#1099658).
- xen-swiotlb: fix the check condition for xen_swiotlb_free_coherent (bnc#1134596).
- xen-swiotlb: use actually allocated size on check physical continuous (bnc#1134596).
