The Linux kernel through 3.7.9 allows local users to obtain sensitive information about keystroke timing by using the inotify API on the /dev/ptmx device.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

Four new speculative execution information leak issues have been identified in Intel CPUs. (bsc#1111331)

CVE-2018-12126: Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling (MSBDS)

CVE-2018-12127: Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS)

CVE-2018-12130: Microarchitectural Load Port Data Samling (MLPDS)

CVE-2019-11091: Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM)

This kernel update contains software mitigations for these issues, which also utilize CPU microcode updates shipped in parallel.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 kernel has been updated to Linux kernel 3.0.80 which fixes various bugs and security issues.

The following security issues have been fixed :

  - Timing side channel on attacks were possible on     /dev/ptmx that could allow local attackers to predict     keypresses like e.g. passwords. This has been fixed     again by updating accessed/modified time on the pty     devices in resolution of 8 seconds, so that idle time     detection can still work. (CVE-2013-0160)

  - The vcc_recvmsg function in net/atm/common.c in the     Linux kernel did not initialize a certain length     variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a crafted     recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3222)

  - The ax25_recvmsg function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the     Linux kernel did not initialize a certain data     structure, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a crafted     recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3223)

  - The bt_sock_recvmsg function in     net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly initialize a certain length variable, which     allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom     system call. (CVE-2013-3224)

(CVE-2013-3225)

  - The caif_seqpkt_recvmsg function in     net/caif/caif_socket.c in the Linux kernel did not     initialize a certain length variable, which allowed     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system     call. (CVE-2013-3227)

  - The irda_recvmsg_dgram function in net/irda/af_irda.c in     the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain length     variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a crafted     recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3228)

  - The iucv_sock_recvmsg function in net/iucv/af_iucv.c in     the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain length     variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a crafted     recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3229)

  - The llc_ui_recvmsg function in net/llc/af_llc.c in the     Linux kernel did not initialize a certain length     variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a crafted     recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3231)

  - The nr_recvmsg function in net/netrom/af_netrom.c in the     Linux kernel did not initialize a certain data     structure, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a crafted     recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3232)

  - The rose_recvmsg function in net/rose/af_rose.c in the     Linux kernel did not initialize a certain data     structure, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a crafted     recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3234)

  - net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize     a certain data structure and a certain length variable,     which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a crafted     recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3235)

  - The crypto API in the Linux kernel did not initialize     certain length variables, which allowed local users to     obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory     via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call, related     to the hash_recvmsg function in crypto/algif_hash.c and     the skcipher_recvmsg function in     crypto/algif_skcipher.c. (CVE-2013-3076)

  - The scm_set_cred function in include/net/scm.h in the     Linux kernel used incorrect uid and gid values during     credentials passing, which allowed local users to gain     privileges via a crafted application. (CVE-2013-1979)
