The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - 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 (bnc#955654).

  - CVE-2015-7509: fs/ext4/namei.c in the Linux kernel     allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial     of service (system crash) via a crafted no-journal     filesystem, a related issue to CVE-2013-2015     (bnc#956707).

  - CVE-2015-7515: An out of bounds memory access in the     aiptek USB driver could be used by physical local     attackers to crash the kernel (bnc#956708).

  - CVE-2015-7550: The keyctl_read_key function in     security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly use a semaphore, 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 application that leverages a race     condition between keyctl_revoke and keyctl_read calls     (bnc#958951).

  - CVE-2015-7566: A malicious USB device could cause kernel     crashes in the visor device driver (bnc#961512).

  - CVE-2015-7799: The slhc_init function in     drivers/net/slip/slhc.c in the Linux kernel did not     ensure that certain slot numbers are valid, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted     PPPIOCSMAXCID ioctl call (bnc#949936).

  - CVE-2015-8215: net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the IPv6 stack in     the Linux kernel did not validate attempted changes to     the MTU value, which allowed context-dependent attackers     to cause a denial of service (packet loss) via a value     that is (1) smaller than the minimum compliant value or     (2) larger than the MTU of an interface, as demonstrated     by a Router Advertisement (RA) message that is not     validated by a daemon, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2015-0272. NOTE: the scope of CVE-2015-0272 is     limited to the NetworkManager product (bnc#955354).

  - CVE-2015-8539: The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (BUG) via crafted keyctl commands that     negatively instantiate a key, related to     security/keys/encrypted-keys/encrypted.c,     security/keys/trusted.c, and     security/keys/user_defined.c (bnc#958463).

  - CVE-2015-8543: The networking implementation in the     Linux kernel did not validate protocol identifiers for     certain protocol families, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly gain     privileges by leveraging CLONE_NEWUSER support to     execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application (bnc#958886).

  - CVE-2015-8550: Optimizations introduced by the compiler     could have lead to double fetch vulnerabilities,     potentially possibly leading to arbitrary code execution     in backend (bsc#957988). (bsc#957988 XSA-155).

  - CVE-2015-8551: The PCI backend driver in Xen, when     running on an x86 system and using Linux as the driver     domain, allowed local guest administrators to hit BUG     conditions and cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and host OS crash) by leveraging a system     with access to a passed-through MSI or MSI-X capable     physical PCI device and a crafted sequence of     XEN_PCI_OP_* operations, aka 'Linux pciback missing     sanity checks (bnc#957990).

  - CVE-2015-8552: The PCI backend driver in Xen, when     running on an x86 system and using Linux as the driver     domain, allowed local guest administrators to generate a     continuous stream of WARN messages and cause a denial of     service (disk consumption) by leveraging a system with     access to a passed-through MSI or MSI-X capable physical     PCI device and XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msi operations, aka     'Linux pciback missing sanity checks (bnc#957990).

  - CVE-2015-8569: The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect     functions in drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel     do not verify an address length, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory     and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted     application (bnc#959190).

  - CVE-2015-8575: The sco_sock_bind function in     net/bluetooth/sco.c in the Linux kernel did not verify     an address length, which allowed local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the     KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application     (bnc#959399).

  - CVE-2015-8767: net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c in the Linux     kernel did not properly manage the relationship between     a lock and a socket, which allowed local users to cause     a denial of service (deadlock) via a crafted sctp_accept     call (bnc#961509).

  - CVE-2015-8785: The fuse_fill_write_pages function in     fs/fuse/file.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a     writev system call that triggers a zero length for the     first segment of an iov (bnc#963765).

  - CVE-2015-8812: A flaw was found in the CXGB3 kernel     driver when the network was considered congested. The     kernel would incorrectly misinterpret the congestion as     an error condition and incorrectly free/clean up the     skb. When the device would then send the skb's queued,     these structures would be referenced and may panic the     system or allow an attacker to escalate privileges in a     use-after-free scenario.(bsc#966437).

  - CVE-2015-8816: A malicious USB device could cause kernel     crashes in the in hub_activate() function (bnc#968010).

  - CVE-2016-0723: Race condition in the tty_ioctl function     in drivers/tty/tty_io.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and     system crash) by making a TIOCGETD ioctl call during     processing of a TIOCSETD ioctl call (bnc#961500).

  - CVE-2016-2069: A race in invalidating paging structures     that were not in use locally could have lead to     disclosoure of information or arbitrary code exectution     (bnc#963767).

  - CVE-2016-2143: On zSeries a fork of a large process     could have caused memory corruption due to incorrect     page table handling. (bnc#970504, LTC#138810).
