The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2018-12207: Untrusted virtual machines on Intel CPUs could exploit a race condition in the Instruction Fetch Unit of the Intel CPU to cause a Machine Exception during Page Size Change, causing the CPU core to be non-functional.

The Linux Kernel kvm hypervisor was adjusted to avoid page size changes in executable pages by splitting / merging huge pages into small pages as needed. More information can be found on https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7023735 CVE-2019-16995: Fix a memory leak in hsr_dev_finalize() if hsr_add_port failed to add a port, which may have caused denial of service (bsc#1152685).

CVE-2019-11135: Aborting an asynchronous TSX operation on Intel CPUs with Transactional Memory support could be used to facilitate sidechannel information leaks out of microarchitectural buffers, similar to the previously described 'Microarchitectural Data Sampling' attack.

The Linux kernel was supplemented with the option to disable TSX operation altogether (requiring CPU Microcode updates on older systems) and better flushing of microarchitectural buffers (VERW).

The set of options available is described in our TID at https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7024251 CVE-2019-16233: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_os.c did not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. (bsc#1150457).

CVE-2019-10220: Added sanity checks on the pathnames passed to the user space. (bsc#1144903).

CVE-2019-17666: rtlwifi: Fix potential overflow in P2P code (bsc#1154372).

CVE-2019-16232: Fix a potential NULL pointer dereference in the Marwell libertas driver (bsc#1150465).

CVE-2019-16234: iwlwifi pcie driver did not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. (bsc#1150452).

CVE-2019-17055: The AF_ISDN network module in the Linux kernel did not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which meant that unprivileged users could create a raw socket (bnc#1152782).

CVE-2019-17056: The AF_NFC network module did not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which meant that unprivileged users could create a raw socket (bsc#1152788).

CVE-2019-15902: A backporting issue was discovered that re-introduced the Spectre vulnerability it had aimed to eliminate. This occurred because the backport process depends on cherry picking specific commits, and because two (correctly ordered) code lines were swapped (bnc#1149376).

(bnc#1140671).

CVE-2019-14821: An out-of-bounds access issue was fixed in the kernel's kvm hypervisor. An unprivileged host user or process with access to '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the host kernel, resulting in a denial of service or potentially escalating privileges on the system (bnc#1151350).

CVE-2019-15505: An out-of-bounds issue had been fixed that could be caused by crafted USB device traffic (bnc#1147122).

CVE-2017-18595: A double free in allocate_trace_buffer was fixed (bnc#1149555).

CVE-2019-14835: A buffer overflow flaw was found in the kernel's vhost functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs. A privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the host (bnc#1150112).

CVE-2019-15216: A NULL pointer dereference was fixed that could be malicious USB device (bnc#1146361).

CVE-2019-15924: A a NULL pointer dereference has been fixed in the drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k module (bnc#1149612).

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP1 RT kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2019-14835: A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway, could have used this flaw to increase their privileges on the host (bnc#1150112).

CVE-2019-15216: There was a NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/usb/misc/yurex.c driver (bnc#1146361).

CVE-2019-15924: fm10k_init_module in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_main.c had a NULL pointer dereference because there was no -ENOMEM upon an alloc_workqueue failure (bnc#1149612).

CVE-2019-9456: In the Pixel C USB monitor driver there was a possible OOB write due to a missing bounds check. This could have led to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1150025).

CVE-2019-15031: In the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform, a local user could have read vector registers of other users' processes via an interrupt. To exploit the vulnerability, a local user starts a transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin) and then accesses vector registers. At some point, the vector registers will be corrupted with the values from a different local Linux process, because MSR_TM_ACTIVE was misused in arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c (bnc#1149713).

CVE-2019-15030: In the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform, a local user could have read vector registers of other users' processes via a Facility Unavailable exception. To exploit the venerability, a local user starts a transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin) and then accesses vector registers. At some point, the vector registers will be corrupted with the values from a different local Linux process because of a missing arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c check (bnc#1149713).

CVE-2019-15920: SMB2_read in fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c had a use-after-free.

CVE-2019-15926: An out-of-bounds access existed in the functions ath6kl_wmi_pstream_timeout_event_rx and ath6kl_wmi_cac_event_rx in the file drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/wmi.c (bnc#1149527).

CVE-2019-15927: An out-of-bounds access existed in the function build_audio_procunit in the file sound/usb/mixer.c (bnc#1149522).

CVE-2019-15902: Misuse of the upstream 'x86/ptrace: Fix possible spectre-v1 in ptrace_get_debugreg()' commit reintroduced the Spectre vulnerability that it aimed to eliminate. This occurred because the backport process depends on cherry picking specific commits, and because two (correctly ordered) code lines were swapped (bnc#1149376).

CVE-2019-15666: There was an out-of-bounds array access in
__xfrm_policy_unlink, which will cause denial of service, because verify_newpolicy_info in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c mishandled directory validation (bnc#1148394).

CVE-2019-15538: An issue was discovered in xfs_setattr_nonsize in fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c in the Linux kernel XFS partially wedges when a chgrp fails on account of being out of disk quota. xfs_setattr_nonsize is failing to unlock the ILOCK after the xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve call fails. This is primarily a local DoS attack vector, but it might result as well in remote DoS if the XFS filesystem is exported for instance via NFS (bnc#1148093).

CVE-2019-15211: There was a use-after-free caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c driver because drivers/media/radio/radio-raremono.c did not properly allocate memory (bnc#1146519).

CVE-2019-15214: There was a use-after-free in the sound subsystem because card disconnection causes certain data structures to be deleted too early. This is related to sound/core/init.c and sound/core/info.c (bnc#1146550).

CVE-2019-14821: An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates on an MMIO ring buffer 'struct kvm_coalesced_mmio' object, wherein write indices 'ring->first' and 'ring->last' value could be supplied by a host user-space process. An unprivileged host user or process with access to '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the host kernel, resulting in a denial of service or potentially escalating privileges on the system (bnc#1151350).
