 Description   

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.180 to receive
various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

  • CVE-2019-11477: A sequence of SACKs may have been crafted such that one
    can trigger an integer overflow, leading to a kernel panic.
  • CVE-2019-11478: It was possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs
    which will fragment the TCP retransmission queue. An 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: An attacker could force the Linux kernel to segment its
    responses into multiple TCP segments. This would drastically increased
    the bandwidth required to deliver the same amount of data. Further, it
    would consume additional resources such as CPU and NIC processing power.
  • 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 was an
    unchecked kstrdup of fwstr, which might 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. (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() was
    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#1132472)
  • 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 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)
  • CVE-2019-11486: The Siemens R3964 line discipline driver in
    drivers/tty/n_r3964.c in the Linux kernel had multiple race conditions.
    (bnc#1133188)

I believe that this ticket can be marked as resolved as, while it landed to b2_12, it will not be landed to master because a newer kernel version is available
