The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to 3.12.67 to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2016-7042: The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in
the Linux kernel used an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout data,
which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory
corruption and panic) by reading the /proc/keys file (bsc#1004517). - CVE-2016-7097: The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel
preserved the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allowed local
users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid
program with restrictions on execute permissions (bsc#995968). - CVE-2015-8956: The rfcomm_sock_bind function in
net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
dereference) via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth
RFCOMM socket (bnc#1003925). - CVE-2016-5696: net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux kernel did not properly
determine the rate of challenge ACK segments, which made it easier for
man-in-the-middle attackers to hijack TCP sessions via a blind in-window
attack (bnc#989152). - CVE-2016-6130: Race condition in the sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function in
drivers/s390/char/sclp_ctl.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by changing a certain
length value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability (bnc#987542). - CVE-2016-6327: drivers/infiniband/ulp/srpt/ib_srpt.c in the Linux
kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
dereference and system crash) by using an ABORT_TASK command to abort
a device write operation (bnc#994748). - CVE-2016-6480: Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib function in
drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash)
by changing a certain size value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability
(bnc#991608). - CVE-2016-6828: The tcp_check_send_head function in include/net/tcp.h
in the Linux kernel did not properly maintain certain SACK state after a
failed data copy, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service
(tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted
SACK option (bnc#994296). - CVE-2016-7425: The arcmsr_iop_message_xfer function in
drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c in the Linux kernel did not restrict
a certain length field, which allowed local users to gain privileges
or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via an
ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code (bnc#999932). - CVE-2016-8658: Stack-based buffer overflow
in the brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap function in
drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the Linux
kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash)
or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long SSID Information
Element in a command to a Netlink socket (bnc#1004462). - CVE-2016-8666: The IP stack in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and panic) or possibly
have unspecified other impact by triggering use of the GRO path for
packets with tunnel stacking, as demonstrated by interleaved IPv4 headers
and GRE headers, a related issue to CVE-2016-7039 (bsc#1001486).
