    Description

      The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 kernel was updated to receive various
      security and bugfixes.

      The following security bugs were fixed:

      • Unprivileged BPF has been disabled by default to reduce attack surface
        as too many security issues have happened in the past (jsc#SLE-22573)

      You can reenable via systemctl setting
      /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 0.
      (kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 0)

      • CVE-2021-0941: In bpf_skb_change_head of filter.c, there is a possible
        out of bounds read due to a use after free. This could lead to local
        escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User
        interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1192045).
      • CVE-2021-31916: An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in
        list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-device driver module
        in the Linux kernel A bound check failure allowed an attacker with
        special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds
        memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel
        information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system
        availability (bnc#1192781).
      • CVE-2021-20322: Make the ipv4 and ipv6 ICMP exception caches less
        predictive to avoid information leaks about UDP ports in use.
        (bsc#1191790)
      • CVE-2021-34981: Fixed file refcounting in cmtp when cmtp_attach_device
        fails. (bsc#1191961)

      The following non-security bugs were fixed:
