A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) implementation freed SKB (socket buffer) resources for a DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet when the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO option is set on the socket. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to alter the kernel memory, allowing them to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2017-6074)

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. When file permissions are modified via chmod and the user is not in the owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in inode_change_ok().
Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr sets the file permissions as well as the new ACL, but doesn't clear the setgid bit in a similar way; this allows to bypass the check in chmod. (CVE-2016-7097)

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in 'tmpfs' file system.
When file permissions are modified via 'chmod' and the user is not in the owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in inode_change_ok(). Setting a POSIX ACL via 'setxattr' sets the file permissions as well as the new ACL, but doesn't clear the setgid bit in a similar way; this allows to bypass the check in 'chmod'.
(CVE-2017-5551)

An issue was found in the Linux kernel ipv6 implementation of GRE tunnels which allows a remote attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds access. (CVE-2017-5897)

It was discovered that an application may trigger a BUG_ON in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf if the socket tx buffer is full, a thread is waiting on it to queue more data, and meanwhile another thread peels off the association being used by the first thread. (CVE-2017-5986)

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where having malicious IP options present would cause the ipv4_pktinfo_prepare() function to drop/free the dst. This could result in a system crash or possible privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-5970)

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of packets with the URG flag. Applications using the splice() and tcp_splice_read() functionality can allow a remote attacker to force the kernel to enter a condition in which it can loop indefinitely. (CVE-2017-6214)

(Updated on 2017-03-21: CVE-2017-5970 was fixed in this release but was previously not part of this errata.)

(Updated on 2017-06-07: CVE-2017-6214 was fixed in this release but was previously not part of this errata.)

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to 4.4.49 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-7117: Use-after-free vulnerability in the
    __sys_recvmmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux     kernel allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary     code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that     was mishandled during error processing (bnc#1003077).

  - CVE-2017-5576: Integer overflow in the vc4_get_bcl     function in drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the     VideoCore DRM driver in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted size value in a     VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call (bnc#1021294).

  - CVE-2017-5577: The vc4_get_bcl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the VideoCore DRM     driver in the Linux kernel did not set an errno value     upon certain overflow detections, which allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer     dereference and OOPS) via inconsistent size values in a     VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call (bnc#1021294).

  - CVE-2017-5551: The simple_set_acl function in     fs/posix_acl.c in the Linux kernel preserved the setgid     bit during a setxattr call involving a tmpfs filesystem,     which allowed local users to gain group privileges by     leveraging the existence of a setgid program with     restrictions on execute permissions. (bnc#1021258).

  - CVE-2017-2583: The load_segment_descriptor     implementation in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux     kernel improperly emulated a 'MOV SS, NULL selector'     instruction, which allowed guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (guest OS crash) or gain guest OS     privileges via a crafted application (bnc#1020602).

  - CVE-2017-2584: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt (bnc#1019851).

  - CVE-2015-8709: kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel     mishandled uid and gid mappings, which allowed local     users to gain privileges by establishing a user     namespace, waiting for a root process to enter that     namespace with an unsafe uid or gid, and then using the     ptrace system call. NOTE: the vendor states 'there is no     kernel bug here' (bnc#1010933).

  - CVE-2016-9806: Race condition in the netlink_dump     function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (double     free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted application that made sendmsg system calls,     leading to a free operation associated with a new dump     that started earlier than anticipated (bnc#1013540).

  - CVE-2017-5897: fixed a bug in the Linux kernel IPv6     implementation which allowed remote attackers to trigger     an out-of-bounds access, leading to a denial-of-service     attack (bnc#1023762).

  - CVE-2017-5970: Fixed a possible denial-of-service that     could have been triggered by sending bad IP options on a     socket (bsc#1024938).

  - CVE-2017-5986: an application could have triggered a     BUG_ON() in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf() if the socket TX     buffer was full, a thread was waiting on it to queue     more data, and meanwhile another thread peeled off the     association being used by the first thread     (bsc#1025235).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The openSUSE Leap 42.1 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-6074: The dccp_rcv_state_process function in     net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel mishandled     DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN     state, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (invalid free) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via an application that made an     IPV6_RECVPKTINFO setsockopt system call (bnc#1026024).

  - CVE-2017-5986: Race condition in the     sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in net/sctp/socket.c in     the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial     of service (assertion failure and panic) via a     multithreaded application that peels off an association     in a certain buffer-full state (bnc#1025235).

  - CVE-2017-5970: The ipv4_pktinfo_prepare function in     net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel allowed     attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash)     via (1) an application that made crafted system calls or     possibly (2) IPv4 traffic with invalid IP options     (bnc#1024938).

  - CVE-2017-5897: A potential remote denial of service     within the IPv6 GRE protocol was fixed. (bsc#1023762)

The openSUSE Leap 42.2 kernel was updated to 4.4.49 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-5986: A userlevel triggerable BUG_ON on     sctp_wait_for_sndbuf was fixed. (bsc#1025235)

  - CVE-2017-5970: The ipv4_pktinfo_prepare function in     net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel allowed     attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash)     via (1) an application that made crafted system calls or     possibly (2) IPv4 traffic with invalid IP options     (bnc#1024938).

  - CVE-2017-5897: A potential remote denial of service     within the IPv6 GRE protocol was fixed. (bsc#1023762)

  - CVE-2017-6074: The dccp_rcv_state_process function in     net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel mishandled     DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN     state, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (invalid free) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via an application that makes an     IPV6_RECVPKTINFO setsockopt system call. (bsc#1026024).

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or have other impacts.

  - CVE-2016-6786 / CVE-2016-6787     It was discovered that the performance events subsystem     does not properly manage locks during certain     migrations, allowing a local attacker to escalate     privileges. This can be mitigated by disabling     unprivileged use of performance events:sysctl     kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3

  - CVE-2016-8405     Peter Pi of Trend Micro discovered that the frame buffer     video subsystem does not properly check bounds while     copying color maps to userspace, causing a heap buffer     out-of-bounds read, leading to information disclosure.

  - CVE-2016-9191     CAI Qian discovered that reference counting is not     properly handled within proc_sys_readdir in the sysctl     implementation, allowing a local denial of service     (system hang) or possibly privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-2583     Xiaohan Zhang reported that KVM for amd64 does not     correctly emulate loading of a null stack selector. This     can be used by a user in a guest VM for denial of     service (on an Intel CPU) or to escalate privileges     within the VM (on an AMD CPU).

  - CVE-2017-2584     Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM for x86 does not     correctly emulate memory access by the SGDT and SIDT     instructions, which can result in a use-after-free and     information leak.

  - CVE-2017-2596     Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM leaks page references     when emulating a VMON for a nested hypervisor. This can     be used by a privileged user in a guest VM for denial of     service or possibly to gain privileges in the host.

  - CVE-2017-2618     It was discovered that an off-by-one in the handling of     SELinux attributes in /proc/pid/attr could result in     local denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-5549     It was discovered that the KLSI KL5KUSB105 serial USB     device driver could log the contents of uninitialised     kernel memory, resulting in an information leak.

  - CVE-2017-5551     Jan Kara found that changing the POSIX ACL of a file on     tmpfs never cleared its set-group-ID flag, which should     be done if the user changing it is not a member of the     group-owner. In some cases, this would allow the     user-owner of an executable to gain the privileges of     the group-owner.

  - CVE-2017-5897     Andrey Konovalov discovered an out-of-bounds read flaw     in the ip6gre_err function in the IPv6 networking code.

  - CVE-2017-5970     Andrey Konovalov discovered a denial-of-service flaw in     the IPv4 networking code. This can be triggered by a     local or remote attacker if a local UDP or raw socket     has the IP_RETOPTS option enabled.

  - CVE-2017-6001     Di Shen discovered a race condition between concurrent     calls to the performance events subsystem, allowing a     local attacker to escalate privileges. This flaw exists     because of an incomplete fix of CVE-2016-6786. This can     be mitigated by disabling unprivileged use of     performance events: sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3

  - CVE-2017-6074     Andrey Konovalov discovered a use-after-free     vulnerability in the DCCP networking code, which could     result in denial of service or local privilege     escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp     module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling     it:echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install     dccp false
