  <description>
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel version 3.12.74 was updated to 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 is possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which
  will fragment the TCP retransmission queue. A remote attacker may be 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
  will 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-2019-5489: 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 be 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 allow local users
  to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized data in the
  filesystem. (bnc#1135281)

- 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
  has a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat. (bnc#1131543)

- 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 end 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:

- kabi: drop LINUX_MIB_TCPWQUEUETOOBIG snmp counter (bsc#1137586).
- kvm: x86: Fix the duplicated failure path handling in vmx_init (bsc#1104367).
- lib: add "on"/"off" support to strtobool (bsc#1125931).
- powerpc/tm: Add commandline option to disable hardware transactional memory (bsc#1125580).
- powerpc/tm: Add TM Unavailable Exception (bsc#1125580).
- powerpc/tm: Flip the HTM switch default to disabled (bsc#1125580).
- powerpc/vdso32: fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC on PPC64 (bsc#1131587).
- powerpc/vdso64: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC inconsistencies across Y2038 (bsc#1131587).
- 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).
