The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2018-1068: Fixed flaw in the implementation of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This allowed a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited range of kernel memory (bnc#1085107). - CVE-2017-18221: The __munlock_pagevec function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NR_MLOCK accounting corruption) via crafted use of mlockall and munlockall system calls (bnc#1084323). - CVE-2018-1066: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in fs/cifs/cifsencrypt.c:setup_ntlmv2_rsp() that allowed an attacker controlling a CIFS server to kernel panic a client that has this server mounted, because an empty TargetInfo field in an NTLMSSP setup negotiation response was mishandled during session recovery (bnc#1083640). - CVE-2017-13166: Prevent elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel v4l2 video driver (bnc#1072865). - CVE-2017-16911: The vhci_hcd driver allowed local attackers to disclose kernel memory addresses. Successful exploitation required that a USB device was attached over IP (bnc#1078674). - CVE-2017-15299: The KEYS subsystem mishandled use of add_key for a key that already exists but is uninstantiated, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted system call (bnc#1063416). - CVE-2017-18208: The madvise_willneed function kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping (bnc#1083494). - CVE-2018-7566: The ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write happens and the pool is empty. A user could have reset the pool size manually via ioctl concurrently, which may have lead UAF or out-of-bound access (bsc#1083483). - CVE-2017-18204: The ocfs2_setattr function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via DIO requests (bnc#1083244). - CVE-2017-16644: The hdpvr_probe function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (improper error handling and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1067118). - CVE-2018-6927: The futex_requeue function allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a negative wake or requeue value (bnc#1080757). - CVE-2017-16914: The last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 108748 published 2018-03-30 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/108748 title SUSE SLES12 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2018:0848-1)
