This update syncs the RT kernel from the SUSE Linux Enterprise 15-SP2 codestream. This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update update project.

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

  - An issue was discovered in fs/io_uring.c in the Linux kernel before 5.6. It unsafely handles the root     directory during path lookups, and thus a process inside a mount namespace can escape to unintended     filesystem locations, aka CID-ff002b30181d. (CVE-2020-29373)

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

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-001402 advisory.

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

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP2 RT kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2020-36158: Fixed a potential remote code execution in the Marvell mwifiex driver (bsc#1180559).

CVE-2020-27825: Fixed a race in the trace_open and buffer resize calls (bsc#1179960).

CVE-2020-0466: Fixed a use-after-free due to a logic error in do_epoll_ctl and ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c (bnc#1180031).

CVE-2020-27068: Fixed an out-of-bounds read due to a missing bounds check in the nl80211_policy policy of nl80211.c (bnc#1180086).

CVE-2020-0444: Fixed a bad kfree due to a logic error in audit_data_to_entry (bnc#1180027).

CVE-2020-0465: Fixed multiple missing bounds checks in hid-multitouch.c that could have led to local privilege escalation (bnc#1180029).

CVE-2020-29661: Fixed a locking issue in the tty subsystem that allowed a use-after-free attack against TIOCSPGRP (bsc#1179745).

CVE-2020-29660: Fixed a locking inconsistency in the tty subsystem that may have allowed a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID (bnc#1179745).

CVE-2020-27777: Fixed a privilege escalation in the Run-Time Abstraction Services (RTAS) interface, affecting guests running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (bnc#1179107).

CVE-2020-29373: Fixed an unsafe handling of the root directory during path lookups in fs/io_uring.c (bnc#1179434).

CVE-2020-11668: Fixed the mishandling of invalid descriptors in the Xirlink camera USB driver (bnc#1168952).

CVE-2020-27830: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in speakup (bsc#1179656).

CVE-2020-29370: Fixed a race condition in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk (bnc#1179435).

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