The openSUSE Leap 42.1 kernel was updated to 4.1.34, fixing bugs and security issues.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-5195: A local privilege escalation using     MAP_PRIVATE was fixed, which is reportedly exploited in     the wild (bsc#1004418).

  - CVE-2016-8658: Stack-based buffer overflow in the     brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap function in     drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg8021     1.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-2016-7039: 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 large     crafted packets, as demonstrated by packets that contain     only VLAN headers, a related issue to CVE-2016-8666     (bnc#1001486).

  - 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).
