    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP4 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs have been fixed : CVE-2015-2041: A information leak in the llc2_timeout_table was fixed (bnc#919007). CVE-2014-9322: arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel did not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment (SS) segment register, which allowed local users to gain privileges by triggering an IRET instruction that leads to access to a GS Base address from the wrong space (bnc#910251). CVE-2014-9090: The do_double_fault function in arch/x86/kernel/traps.c in the Linux kernel did not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment (SS) segment register, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a modify_ldt system call, as demonstrated by sigreturn_32 in the 1-clock-tests test suite (bnc#907818). CVE-2014-4667: The sctp_association_free function in net/sctp/associola.c in the Linux kernel did not properly manage a certain backlog value, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (socket outage) via a crafted SCTP packet (bnc#885422). CVE-2014-3673: The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel 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-2014-3185: 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 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 might have allowed 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). CVE-2014-1874: The security_context_to_sid_core function in security/selinux/ss/services.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging the CAP_MAC_ADMIN capability to set a zero-length security context (bnc#863335). CVE-2014-0181: The Netlink implementation in the Linux kernel 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-2013-4299: Interpretation conflict in drivers/md/dm-snap-persistent.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information or modify data via a crafted mapping to a snapshot block device (bnc#846404). CVE-2013-2147: The HP Smart Array controller disk-array driver and Compaq SMART2 controller disk-array driver in the Linux kernel did not initialize certain data structures, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via (1) a crafted IDAGETPCIINFO command for a /dev/ida device, related to the ida_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/cpqarray.c or (2) a crafted CCISS_PASSTHRU32 command for a /dev/cciss device, related to the cciss_ioctl32_passthru function in drivers/block/cciss.c (bnc#823260). CVE-2012-6657: The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel 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-2012-3400: Heap-based buffer overflow in the udf_load_logicalvol function in fs/udf/super.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted UDF filesystem (bnc#769784). CVE-2012-2319: Multiple buffer overflows in the hfsplus filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges via a crafted HFS plus filesystem, a related issue to CVE-2009-4020 (bnc#760902). CVE-2012-2313: The rio_ioctl function in drivers/net/ethernet/dlink/dl2k.c in the Linux kernel did not restrict access to the SIOCSMIIREG command, which allowed local users to write data to an Ethernet adapter via an ioctl call (bnc#758813). CVE-2011-4132: The cleanup_journal_tail function in the Journaling Block Device (JBD) functionality in the Linux kernel 2.6 allowed local users to cause a denial of service (assertion error and kernel oops) via an ext3 or ext4 image with an

    CVE-2011-4913: The rose_parse_ccitt function in net/rose/rose_subr.c
    in the Linux kernel did not validate the FAC_CCITT_DEST_NSAP and
    FAC_CCITT_SRC_NSAP fields, which allowed remote attackers to (1) cause
    a denial of service (integer underflow, heap memory corruption, and
    panic) via a small length value in data sent to a ROSE socket, or (2)
    conduct stack-based buffer overflow attacks via a large length value
    in data sent to a ROSE socket (bnc#681175).
    
    CVE-2011-4914: The ROSE protocol implementation in the Linux kernel
    did not verify that certain data-length values are consistent with the
    amount of data sent, which might allow remote attackers to obtain
    sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service
    (out-of-bounds read) via crafted data to a ROSE socket (bnc#681175).
    
    CVE-2011-1476: Integer underflow in the Open Sound System (OSS)
    subsystem in the Linux kernel on unspecified non-x86 platforms allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by
    leveraging write access to /dev/sequencer (bnc#681999).
    
    CVE-2011-1477: Multiple array index errors in sound/oss/opl3.c in the
    Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (heap
    memory corruption) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging write
    access to /dev/sequencer (bnc#681999).
    
    CVE-2011-1163: The osf_partition function in fs/partitions/osf.c in
    the Linux kernel did not properly handle an invalid number of
    partitions, which might allow local users to obtain potentially
    sensitive information from kernel heap memory via vectors related to
    partition-table parsing (bnc#679812).
    
    CVE-2011-1090: The __nfs4_proc_set_acl function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c
    in the Linux kernel stored NFSv4 ACL data in memory that is allocated
    by kmalloc but not properly freed, which allowed local users to cause
    a denial of service (panic) via a crafted attempt to set an ACL
    (bnc#677286).
    
    CVE-2014-9584: The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in
    fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel 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-2014-9420: The rock_continue function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the
    Linux kernel 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-2014-5471: Stack consumption vulnerability in the
    parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the
    Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service
    (uncontrolled recursion, and system crash or reboot) via a crafted
    iso9660 image with a CL entry referring to a directory entry that has
    a CL entry (bnc#892490).
    
    CVE-2014-5472: The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in
    fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a
    denial of service (unkillable mount process) via a crafted iso9660
    image with a self-referential CL entry (bnc#892490).
    
    CVE-2014-3917: kernel/auditsc.c in the Linux kernel, when
    CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is enabled with certain syscall rules, allowed
    local users to obtain potentially sensitive single-bit values from
    kernel memory or cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a large value of
    a syscall number (bnc#880484).
    
    CVE-2014-4652: Race condition in the tlv handler functionality in the
    snd_ctl_elem_user_tlv function in sound/core/control.c in the ALSA
    control implementation in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
    obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging
    /dev/snd/controlCX access (bnc#883795).
    
    CVE-2014-4654: The snd_ctl_elem_add function in sound/core/control.c
    in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel did not check
    authorization for SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE commands, which allowed
    local users to remove kernel controls and cause a denial of service
    (use-after-free and system crash) by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX
    access for an ioctl call (bnc#883795).
    
    CVE-2014-4655: The snd_ctl_elem_add function in sound/core/control.c
    in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel did not
    properly maintain the user_ctl_count value, which allowed local users
    to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and limit bypass) by
    leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access for a large number of
    SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE ioctl calls (bnc#883795).
    
    CVE-2014-4653: sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation
    in the Linux kernel did not ensure possession of a read/write lock,
    which allowed local users to cause a denial of service
    (use-after-free) and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory
    by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access (bnc#883795).
    
    CVE-2014-4656: Multiple integer overflows in sound/core/control.c in
    the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel allowed local
    users to cause a denial of service by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX
    access, related to (1) index values in the snd_ctl_add function and
    (2) numid values in the snd_ctl_remove_numid_conflict function
    (bnc#883795).

    NASL idMANDRIVA_MDVSA-2013-194.NASL
    descriptionMultiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel : net/ceph/auth_none.c in the Linux kernel through 3.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an auth_reply message that triggers an attempted build_request operation. (CVE-2013-1059) The HP Smart Array controller disk-array driver and Compaq SMART2 controller disk-array driver in the Linux kernel through 3.9.4 do not initialize certain data structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via (1) a crafted IDAGETPCIINFO command for a /dev/ida device, related to the ida_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/cpqarray.c or (2) a crafted CCISS_PASSTHRU32 command for a /dev/cciss device, related to the cciss_ioctl32_passthru function in drivers/block/cciss.c. (CVE-2013-2147) The fill_event_metadata function in fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c in the Linux kernel through 3.9.4 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a read operation on the fanotify descriptor. (CVE-2013-2148) Format string vulnerability in the register_disk function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel through 3.9.4 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging root access and writing format string specifiers to /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/new_array in order to create a crafted /dev/md device name. (CVE-2013-2851) The mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data function in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in the Linux kernel through 3.10 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a read operation on a malfunctioning CD-ROM drive. (CVE-2013-2164) The key_notify_policy_flush function in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by reading a broadcast message from the notify_policy interface of an IPSec key_socket. (CVE-2013-2237) The (1) key_notify_sa_flush and (2) key_notify_policy_flush functions in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel before 3.10 do not initialize certain structure members, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by reading a broadcast message from the notify interface of an IPSec key_socket. (CVE-2013-2234) The ip6_sk_dst_check function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel before 3.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by using an AF_INET6 socket for a connection to an IPv4 interface. (CVE-2013-2232) The online_pages function in mm/memory_hotplug.c in the Linux kernel before 3.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact in opportunistic circumstances by using memory that was hot-added by an administrator. (CVE-2012-5517) Format string vulnerability in the b43_request_firmware function in drivers/net/wireless/b43/main.c in the Broadcom B43 wireless driver in the Linux kernel through 3.9.4 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging root access and including format string specifiers in an fwpostfix modprobe parameter, leading to improper construction of an error message. (CVE-2013-2852) The ftrace implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.8.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for write access to the (1) set_ftrace_pid or (2) set_graph_function file, and then making an lseek system call. (CVE-2013-3301) The pciback_enable_msi function in the PCI backend driver (drivers/xen/pciback/conf_space_capability_msi.c) in Xen for the Linux kernel 2.6.18 and 3.8 allows guest OS users with PCI device access to cause a denial of service via a large number of kernel log messages. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third-party information. (CVE-2013-0231) The chase_port function in drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel before 3.7.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via an attempted /dev/ttyUSB read or write operation on a disconnected Edgeport USB serial converter. (CVE-2013-1774) Heap-based buffer overflow in the iscsi_add_notunderstood_response function in drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_parameters.c in the iSCSI target subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.9.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and OOPS) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long key that is not properly handled during construction of an error-response packet. (CVE-2013-2850) The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.
