  - CVE-2016-10044: The aio_mount function in fs/aio.c in     the Linux kernel did not properly restrict execute     access, which made it easier for local users to bypass     intended SELinux W^X policy restrictions, and     consequently gain privileges, via an io_setup system     call (bnc#1023992).

  - CVE-2016-3070: The trace_writeback_dirty_page     implementation in include/trace/events/writeback.h in     the Linux kernel improperly interacts with mm/migrate.c,     which allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly     have unspecified other impact by triggering a certain     page move (bnc#979215).

  - CVE-2016-5243: The tipc_nl_compat_link_dump function in     net/tipc/netlink_compat.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly copy a certain string, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory by reading a Netlink message (bnc#983212).

  - CVE-2017-6345: The LLC subsystem in the Linux kernel did     not ensure that a certain destructor exists in required     circumstances, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (BUG_ON) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1027190)

  - CVE-2017-6346: Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c     in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a multithreaded application     that made PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls     (bnc#1027189)

  - CVE-2017-6353: net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did     not properly restrict association peel-off operations     during certain wait states, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double     free) via a multithreaded application. NOTE: this     vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for     CVE-2017-5986 (bnc#1027066)

  - 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 (bsc#1025235).

  - CVE-2017-6214: The tcp_splice_read function in     net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop     and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with     the URG flag (bnc#1026722)

  - CVE-2016-2117: The atl2_probe function in     drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the Linux     kernel incorrectly enables scatter/gather I/O, which     allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information     from kernel memory by reading packet data (bnc#968697)

  - CVE-2015-1350: The VFS subsystem in the Linux kernel     provided an incomplete set of requirements for setattr     operations that underspecifies removing extended     privilege attributes, which allowed local users to cause     a denial of service (capability stripping) via a failed     invocation of a system call, as demonstrated by using     chown to remove a capability from the ping or Wireshark     dumpcap program (bsc#914939).

  - 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     is mishandled during error processing (bsc#1003077).

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

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

  - CVE-2015-1350: The VFS subsystem in the Linux kernel     provided an incomplete set of requirements for setattr     operations that underspecifies removing extended     privilege attributes, which allowed local users to cause     a denial of service (capability stripping) via a failed     invocation of a system call, as demonstrated by using     chown to remove a capability from the ping or Wireshark     dumpcap program (bnc#914939).

  - CVE-2016-2117: The atl2_probe function in     drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the Linux     kernel incorrectly enabled scatter/gather I/O, which     allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information     from kernel memory by reading packet data (bnc#968697).

  - CVE-2016-3070: The trace_writeback_dirty_page     implementation in include/trace/events/writeback.h in     the Linux kernel improperly interacted with     mm/migrate.c, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     triggering a certain page move (bnc#979215).

  - CVE-2016-5243: The tipc_nl_compat_link_dump function in     net/tipc/netlink_compat.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly copy a certain string, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory by reading a Netlink message (bnc#983212).

  - 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     is mishandled during error processing (bnc#1003077).

  - CVE-2016-9588: arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel     mismanages the #BP and #OF exceptions, which allowed     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS     crash) by declining to handle an exception thrown by an     L2 guest (bnc#1015703).

  - CVE-2016-10044: The aio_mount function in fs/aio.c in     the Linux kernel did not properly restrict execute     access, which made it easier for local users to bypass     intended SELinux W^X policy restrictions, and     consequently gain privileges, via an io_setup system     call (bnc#1023992).

  - CVE-2016-10200: Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP     Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls     without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the     SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c and     net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c (bnc#1028415).

  - CVE-2016-10208: The ext4_fill_super function in     fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel did not properly     validate meta block groups, which allowed physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4     image (bnc#1023377).

  - CVE-2017-2671: The ping_unhash function in     net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel is too late in     obtaining a certain lock and consequently cannot ensure     that disconnect function calls are safe, which allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by     leveraging access to the protocol value of IPPROTO_ICMP     in a socket system call (bnc#1031003).

  - CVE-2017-5669: The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the     Linux kernel did not restrict the address calculated by     a certain rounding operation, which allowed local users     to map page zero, and consequently bypass a protection     mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by     making crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a     privileged context (bnc#1026914).

The openSUSE Leap 42.1 kernel was updated to 4.1.39 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-5669: The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the     Linux kernel did not restrict the address calculated by     a certain rounding operation, which allowed local users     to map page zero, and consequently bypass a protection     mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by     making crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a     privileged context (bnc#1026914).

  - CVE-2017-6348: The hashbin_delete function in     net/irda/irqueue.c in the Linux kernel improperly     manages lock dropping, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted     operations on IrDA devices (bnc#1027178).

  - CVE-2017-7184: The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in     net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel did not     validate certain size data after an XFRM_MSG_NEWAE     update, which allowed local users to obtain root     privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based     out-of-bounds access) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability, as demonstrated during a Pwn2Own competition     at CanSecWest 2017 for the Ubuntu 16.10 linux-image-*     package 4.8.0.41.52 (bnc#1030573).

  - CVE-2016-10200: Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP     Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls     without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the     SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c and     net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c (bnc#1028415).

  - CVE-2017-2636: Race condition in drivers/tty/n_hdlc.c in     the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges     or cause a denial of service (double free) by setting     the HDLC line discipline (bnc#1027565).

  - CVE-2017-6345: The LLC subsystem in the Linux kernel did     not ensure that a certain destructor exists in required     circumstances, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (BUG_ON) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1027190).

  - CVE-2017-6346: Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c     in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a multithreaded application     that made PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls     (bnc#1027189).

  - CVE-2017-6347: The ip_cmsg_recv_checksum function in     net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel has incorrect     expectations about skb data layout, which allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted     system calls, as demonstrated by use of the MSG_MORE     flag in conjunction with loopback UDP transmission     (bnc#1027179).

  - CVE-2017-6353: net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did     not properly restrict association peel-off operations     during certain wait states, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double     free) via a multithreaded application. NOTE: this     vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for     CVE-2017-5986 (bnc#1025235).

  - CVE-2017-6214: The tcp_splice_read function in     net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop     and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with     the URG flag (bnc#1026722).

  - CVE-2016-2117: The atl2_probe function in     drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the Linux     kernel incorrectly enables scatter/gather I/O, which     allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information     from kernel memory by reading packet data (bnc#968697).

  - CVE-2016-10208: The ext4_fill_super function in     fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel did not properly     validate meta block groups, which allowed physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4     image (bnc#1023377).

  - CVE-2017-2596: The nested_vmx_check_vmptr function in     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel improperly     emulates the VMXON instruction, which allowed KVM L1     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     memory consumption) by leveraging the mishandling of     page references (bnc#1022785).

  - CVE-2017-2583: The load_segment_descriptor     implementation in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux     kernel improperly emulates 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).

The following non-security bugs were fixed :

  - Fix kABI breakage of musb struct in 4.1.39 (stable     4.1.39).

  - Revert 'ptrace: Capture the ptracer's creds not     PT_PTRACE_CAP' (stable 4.1.39).

  - ext4: fix fencepost in s_first_meta_bg validation     (bsc#1029986).

  - ext4: validate s_first_meta_bg at mount time     (bsc#1023377).

  - kabi/severities: Ignore x86/kvm kABI changes for 4.1.39

  - l2tp: fix address test in __l2tp_ip6_bind_lookup()     (bsc#1028415).

  - l2tp: fix lookup for sockets not bound to a device in     l2tp_ip (bsc#1028415).

  - l2tp: fix racy socket lookup in l2tp_ip and l2tp_ip6     bind() (bsc#1028415).

  - l2tp: hold socket before dropping lock in l2tp_ip{,     6}_recv() (bsc#1028415).

  - l2tp: lock socket before checking flags in connect()     (bsc#1028415).

  - mm/huge_memory.c: respect FOLL_FORCE/FOLL_COW for thp     (bsc#1030118).

  - CVE-2017-6347: The ip_cmsg_recv_checksum function in     net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel has incorrect     expectations about skb data layout, which allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted     system calls, as demonstrated by use of the MSG_MORE     flag in conjunction with loopback UDP transmission     (bnc#1027179).

  - CVE-2016-9191: The cgroup offline implementation in the     Linux kernel mishandled certain drain operations, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system     hang) by leveraging access to a container environment     for executing a crafted application, as demonstrated by     trinity (bnc#1008842).

  - CVE-2017-2596: The nested_vmx_check_vmptr function in     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel improperly     emulates the VMXON instruction, which allowed KVM L1     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     memory consumption) by leveraging the mishandling of     page references (bnc#1022785).

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

CVE-2016-9588

Jim Mattson discovered that the KVM implementation for Intel x86 processors does not properly handle #BP and #OF exceptions in an L2 (nested) virtual machine. A local attacker in an L2 guest VM can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service for the L1 guest VM.

CVE-2017-2636

Alexander Popov discovered a race condition flaw in the n_hdlc line discipline that can lead to a double free. A local unprivileged user can take advantage of this flaw for privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the n_hdlc module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-n_hdlc.conf install n_hdlc false

CVE-2017-5669

Gareth Evans reported that privileged users can map memory at address 0 through the shmat() system call. This could make it easier to exploit other kernel security vulnerabilities via a set-UID program.

CVE-2017-5986

Alexander Popov reported a race condition in the SCTP implementation that can be used by local users to cause a denial of service (crash).
The initial fix for this was incorrect and introduced further security issues (CVE-2017-6353). This update includes a later fix that avoids those. On systems that do not already have the sctp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-sctp.conf install sctp false

CVE-2017-6214

Dmitry Vyukov reported a bug in the TCP implementation's handling of urgent data in the splice() system call. This can be used by a remote attacker for denial of service (hang) against applications that read from TCP sockets with splice().

CVE-2017-6345

Andrey Konovalov reported that the LLC type 2 implementation incorrectly assigns socket buffer ownership. This might be usable by a local user to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the llc2 module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-llc2.conf install llc2 false

CVE-2017-6346

Dmitry Vyukov reported a race condition in the raw packet (af_packet) fanout feature. Local users with the CAP_NET_RAW capability (in any user namespace) can use this for denial of service and possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-6348

Dmitry Vyukov reported that the general queue implementation in the IrDA subsystem does not properly manage multiple locks, possibly allowing local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted operations on IrDA devices.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.2.86-1.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.16.39-1+deb8u2.
