"Jesse Hertz and Tim Newsham discovered that the Linux netfilter
implementation did not correctly perform validation when handling 32
bit compatibility IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE events on 64 bit platforms. A
local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code with administrative
privileges. (CVE-2016-4997)

Kangjie Lu discovered an information leak in the core USB
implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to
obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory.
(CVE-2016-4482)

Jann Horn discovered that the InfiniBand interfaces within the Linux
kernel could be coerced into overwriting kernel memory. A local
unprivileged attacker could use this to possibly gain administrative
privileges on systems where InifiniBand related kernel modules are
loaded. (CVE-2016-4565)

Kangjie Lu discovered an information leak in the timer handling
implementation in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)
subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to
obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory.
(CVE-2016-4569, CVE-2016-4578)

Kangjie Lu discovered an information leak in the X.25 Call Request
handling in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to
obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory.
(CVE-2016-4580)

It was discovered that an information leak exists in the Rock Ridge
implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker who is able to
mount a malicious iso9660 file system image could exploit this flaw to
obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory.
(CVE-2016-4913)

Jesse Hertz and Tim Newsham discovered that the Linux netfilter
implementation did not correctly perform validation when handling
IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE events. A local unprivileged attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or obtain potentially
sensitive information from kernel memory. (CVE-2016-4998).

"This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.51-52_34 fixes several issues.
The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-4470: The key_reject_and_link function in
    security/keys/key.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure
    that a certain data structure is initialized, which
    allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system
    crash) via vectors involving a crafted keyctl request2
    command (bsc#984764).

  - CVE-2016-1583: The ecryptfs_privileged_open function in
    fs/ecryptfs/kthread.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
    users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
    (stack memory consumption) via vectors involving crafted
    mmap calls for /proc pathnames, leading to recursive
    pagefault handling (bsc#983144).

  - CVE-2016-4565: The InfiniBand (aka IB) stack in the
    Linux kernel incorrectly relied on the write system
    call, which allowed local users to cause a denial of
    service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via a uAPI interface
    (bsc#980883).

  - CVE-2016-0758: Integer overflow in lib/asn1_decoder.c in
    the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges
    via crafted ASN.1 data (bsc#980856).

  - CVE-2016-2053: The asn1_ber_decoder function in
    lib/asn1_decoder.c in the Linux kernel allowed attackers
    to cause a denial of service (panic) via an ASN.1 BER
    file that lacks a public key, leading to mishandling by
    the public_key_verify_signature function in
    crypto/asymmetric_keys/public_key.c (bsc#979074).

  - CVE-2015-8816: The hub_activate function in
    drivers/usb/core/hub.c in the Linux kernel did not
    properly maintain a hub-interface data structure, which
    allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial
    of service (invalid memory access and system crash) or
    possibly have unspecified other impact by unplugging a
    USB hub device (bsc#979064).

  - CVE-2016-3134: The netfilter subsystem in the Linux
    kernel did not validate certain offset fields, which
    allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial
    of service (heap memory corruption) via an
    IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt call (bsc#971793).

  - CVE-2013-7446: Use-after-free vulnerability in
    net/unix/af_unix.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
    users to bypass intended AF_UNIX socket permissions or
    cause a denial of service (panic) via crafted epoll_ctl
    calls (bsc#973570, bsc#955837).
