    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - CVE-2021-37159: hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c called unregister_netdev without checking     for the NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free (bnc#1188601).
    - CVE-2021-3772: Fixed sctp vtag check in sctp_sf_ootb (bsc#1190351).
    - CVE-2021-3655: Missing size validations on inbound SCTP packets may have allowed the kernel to read     uninitialized memory (bnc#1188563 bnc#1192267).
    - CVE-2014-7841: The sctp_process_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP implementation,     when ASCONF is used, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) via a malformed INIT chunk (bnc#904899 bnc#905100).
    - CVE-2021-20265: A flaw was found in the way memory resources were freed in the unix_stream_recvmsg     function when a signal was pending. This flaw allowed an unprivileged local user to crash the system by     exhausting available memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability     (bnc#1183089).
    - CVE-2021-42739: The firewire subsystem had a buffer overflow related to drivers/media/firewire/firedtv-     avc.c and drivers/media/firewire/firedtv-ci.c, because avc_ca_pmt mishandled bounds checking (bnc#1184673     bnc#1192036).
    - CVE-2021-33033: The Linux kernel has a use-after-free in cipso_v4_genopt in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c     because the CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting for the DOI definitions is mishandled, aka CID-ad5d07f4a9cd.
    This leads to writing an arbitrary value (bnc#1186109 bnc#1188876).
    - CVE-2021-43389: There was an array-index-out-of-bounds flaw in the detach_capi_ctr function in     drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c (bnc#1191958).
    - CVE-2021-42008: The decode_data function in drivers/net/hamradio/6pack.c had a slab out-of-bounds write.
    Input from a process that has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can lead to root access (bnc#1191315).
    - CVE-2021-38160: Data corruption or loss could be triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a     buf->len value exceeding the buffer size in drivers/char/virtio_console.c (bsc#1190117)
    - CVE-2021-3640: Fixed a Use-After-Free vulnerability in function sco_sock_sendmsg() in the bluetooth     stack (bsc#1188172).
    - CVE-2021-38198: arch/x86/kvm/mmu/paging_tmpl.h incorrectly computed the access permissions of a shadow     page, leading to a missing guest protection page fault (bnc#1189262).
    - CVE-2021-3653: A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw     occurs when processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a     nested guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the 'int_ctl' field, this issue could allow a malicious     L1 to enable AVIC support (Advanced Virtual Interrupt Controller) for the L2 guest. As a result, the L2     guest would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire     system, leak of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape. (bnc#1189399).
    - CVE-2021-3679: A lack of CPU resource in the Linux kernel tracing module functionality was found in the     way user uses trace ring buffer in a specific way. Only privileged local users (with CAP_SYS_ADMIN     capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service (bnc#1189057).
    - CVE-2021-3609: A potential local privilege escalation in the CAN BCM networking protocol was fixed     (bsc#1187215).
    - CVE-2020-36385: drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c has a use-after-free because the ctx is reached via the     ctx_list in some ucma_migrate_id situations where ucma_close is called, aka CID-f5449e74802c     (bnc#1187050).

  - CVE-2014-8160: SCTP firewalling failed until the SCTP     module was loaded (bnc#913059).

  - CVE-2014-9584: The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal     function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel before     3.18.2 did not validate a length value in the Extensions     Reference (ER) System Use Field, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory     via a crafted iso9660 image (bnc#912654).

  - CVE-2014-9585: The vdso_addr function in     arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2     did not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO     area, which made it easier for local users to bypass the     ASLR protection mechanism by guessing a location at the     end of a PMD (bnc#912705).

  - CVE-2014-9420: The rock_continue function in     fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 did     not restrict the number of Rock Ridge continuation     entries, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (infinite loop, and system crash or hang) via a     crafted iso9660 image (bnc#911325).

  - CVE-2014-0181: The Netlink implementation in the Linux     kernel through 3.14.1 did not provide a mechanism for     authorizing socket operations based on the opener of a     socket, which allowed local users to bypass intended     access restrictions and modify network configurations by     using a Netlink socket for the (1) stdout or (2) stderr     of a setuid program (bnc#875051).

  - CVE-2010-5313: Race condition in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in     the Linux kernel before 2.6.38 allowed L2 guest OS users     to cause a denial of service (L1 guest OS crash) via a     crafted instruction that triggers an L2 emulation     failure report, a similar issue to CVE-2014-7842     (bnc#907822).

  - CVE-2014-7842: Race condition in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in     the Linux kernel before 3.17.4 allowed guest OS users to     cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted     application that performs an MMIO transaction or a PIO     transaction to trigger a guest userspace emulation error     report, a similar issue to CVE-2010-5313 (bnc#905312).

  - CVE-2014-3688: The SCTP implementation in the Linux     kernel before 3.17.4 allowed remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering a     large number of chunks in an associations output queue,     as demonstrated by ASCONF probes, related to     net/sctp/inqueue.c and net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c     (bnc#902351).

  - CVE-2014-3687: The sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack function     in net/sctp/associola.c in the SCTP implementation in     the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allowed remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (panic) via duplicate     ASCONF chunks that trigger an incorrect uncork within     the side-effect interpreter (bnc#902349).

  - CVE-2014-3673: The SCTP implementation in the Linux     kernel through 3.17.2 allowed remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (system crash) via a malformed     ASCONF chunk, related to net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c and     net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c (bnc#902346).

  - CVE-2014-7841: The sctp_process_param function in     net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP implementation in     the Linux kernel before 3.17.4, when ASCONF is used,     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a     malformed INIT chunk (bnc#905100).

  - CVE-2014-8709: The ieee80211_fragment function in     net/mac80211/tx.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.5 did     not properly maintain a certain tail pointer, which     allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext     information by reading packets (bnc#904700).

  - CVE-2013-7263: The Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updated     certain length values before ensuring that associated     data structures have been initialized, which allowed     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     stack memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3)     recvmsg system call, related to net/ipv4/ping.c,     net/ipv4/raw.c, net/ipv4/udp.c, net/ipv6/raw.c, and     net/ipv6/udp.c (bnc#857643).

  - CVE-2012-6657: The sock_setsockopt function in     net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 3.5.7 did not     ensure that a keepalive action is associated with a     stream socket, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (system crash) by leveraging the     ability to create a raw socket (bnc#896779).

  - CVE-2014-3185: Multiple buffer overflows in the     command_port_read_callback function in     drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c in the Whiteheat USB     Serial Driver in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 allowed     physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code     or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and     system crash) via a crafted device that provides a large     amount of (1) EHCI or (2) XHCI data associated with a     bulk response (bnc#896391).

  - CVE-2014-3184: The report_fixup functions in the HID     subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 might allow     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted device that     provides a small report descriptor, related to (1)     drivers/hid/hid-cherry.c, (2) drivers/hid/hid-kye.c, (3)     drivers/hid/hid-lg.c, (4) drivers/hid/hid-monterey.c,     (5) drivers/hid/hid-petalynx.c, and (6)     drivers/hid/hid-sunplus.c (bnc#896390).
