The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bug fixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2020-25705: A flaw in the way reply ICMP packets are limited in was found that allowed to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw allowed an off-path remote user to effectively bypassing source port UDP randomization. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and possibly integrity, because software and services that rely on UDP source port randomization (like DNS) are indirectly affected as well. Kernel versions may be vulnerable to this issue (bsc#1175721, bsc#1178782).

CVE-2020-25704: Fixed a memory leak in perf_event_parse_addr_filter() (bsc#1178393).

CVE-2020-25668: Fixed a use-after-free in con_font_op() (bnc#1178123).

CVE-2020-25656: Fixed a concurrency use-after-free in vt_do_kdgkb_ioctl (bnc#1177766).

CVE-2020-25285: Fixed a race condition between hugetlb sysctl handlers in mm/hugetlb.c (bnc#1176485).

CVE-2020-0430: Fixed an OOB read in skb_headlen of /include/linux/skbuff.h (bnc#1176723).

CVE-2020-14351: Fixed a race in the perf_mmap_close() function (bsc#1177086).

CVE-2020-16120: Fixed permission check to open real file when using overlayfs. It was possible to have a file not readable by an unprivileged user be copied to a mountpoint controlled by that user and then be able to access the file (bsc#1177470).

CVE-2020-8694: Restricted energy meter to root access (bsc#1170415).

CVE-2020-12351: Fixed a type confusion while processing AMP packets aka 'BleedingTooth' aka 'BadKarma' (bsc#1177724).

CVE-2020-12352: Fixed an information leak when processing certain AMP packets aka 'BleedingTooth' (bsc#1177725).

CVE-2020-25212: Fixed getxattr kernel panic and memory overflow (bsc#1176381).

CVE-2020-25645: Fixed an an issue in IPsec that caused traffic between two Geneve endpoints to be unencrypted (bnc#1177511).

CVE-2020-2521: Fixed getxattr kernel panic and memory overflow (bsc#1176381).

CVE-2020-14381: Fixed a use-after-free in the fast user mutex (futex) wait operation, which could have lead to memory corruption and possibly privilege escalation (bsc#1176011).

CVE-2020-25643: Fixed a memory corruption and a read overflow which could have caused by improper input validation in the ppp_cp_parse_cr function (bsc#1177206).

CVE-2020-25641: Fixed a zero-length biovec request issued by the block subsystem could have caused the kernel to enter an infinite loop, causing a denial of service (bsc#1177121).

CVE-2020-26088: Fixed an improper CAP_NET_RAW check in NFC socket creation could have been used by local attackers to create raw sockets, bypassing security mechanisms (bsc#1176990).

CVE-2020-14390: Fixed an out-of-bounds memory write leading to memory corruption or a denial of service when changing screen size (bnc#1176235).

CVE-2020-0432: Fixed an out of bounds write due to an integer overflow (bsc#1176721).

CVE-2020-0427: Fixed an out of bounds read due to a use after free (bsc#1176725).

CVE-2020-0431: Fixed an out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check (bsc#1176722).

CVE-2020-0404: Fixed a linked list corruption due to an unusual root cause (bsc#1176423).

CVE-2020-25284: Fixed an incomplete permission checking for access to rbd devices, which could have been leveraged by local attackers to map or unmap rbd block devices (bsc#1176482).

CVE-2020-27673: Fixed an issue where rogue guests could have caused denial of service of Dom0 via high frequency events (XSA-332 bsc#1177411)

CVE-2020-27675: Fixed a race condition in event handler which may crash dom0 (XSA-331 bsc#1177410).

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

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - There is a memory leak in     perf_event_parse_addr_filter.(CVE-2020-25704)

  - Insufficient access control in the Linux kernel driver     for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via     local access.(CVE-2020-8694)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free     was found in the way the console subsystem was using     ioctls KDGKBSENT and KDSKBSENT. A local user could use     this flaw to get read memory access out of bounds. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-25656)

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2020-5995 advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Insufficient access control in the Linux kernel driver for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-8694)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03540-1 advisory.

    - Include historical changelog data from before the docker-stable fork. The       initial changelog entry did technically provide all the necessary       information, but our CVE tracking tools do not understand how the package is       forked and so it seems that this package does not include fixes for ~12 years       of updates. So, include a copy of the original package's changelog up until       the fork point. (bsc#1250596)

    - Remove git-core recommends on SLE. Most SLE systems have       installRecommends=yes by default and thus end up installing git with Docker.
      bsc#1250508

      This feature is mostly intended for developers ('docker build git://') so       most users already have the dependency installed, and the error when git is       missing is fairly straightforward (so they can easily figure out what they       need to install).

    - Backport <https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/48517>. bsc#1247362

    - Update to docker-buildx v0.25.0. Upstream changelog:
      <https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/tag/v0.25.0>

    - Do not try to inject SUSEConnect secrets when in Rootless Docker mode, as       Docker does not have permission to access the host zypper credentials in this       mode (and unprivileged users cannot disable the feature using       /etc/docker/suse-secrets-enable.) bsc#1240150

    - Initial docker-stable fork, forked from Docker 24.0.7-ce release       (packaged on 2024-02-14). The original changelog is included below for       historical reference.
