This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.61-52_119 fixes several issues.
The following security issue was fixed :

  - CVE-2017-15649: net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to gain privileges via     crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of     packet_fanout data structures, because of a race     condition (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that     leads to a use-after-free, a different vulnerability     than CVE-2017-6346 (bsc#1064392)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-001247 advisory.

    net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted     system calls that trigger mishandling of packet_fanout data structures, because of a race condition     (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that leads to a use-after-free, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2017-6346.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:0151 advisory.

  - kernel: local privesc in key management (CVE-2015-8539)

  - hw: cpu: speculative execution bounds-check bypass (CVE-2017-5753)

  - kernel: keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring() leaks thread keyrings (CVE-2017-7472)

  - kernel: NULL pointer dereference due to KEYCTL_READ on negative key (CVE-2017-12192)

  - kernel: Null pointer dereference due to incorrect node-splitting in assoc_array implementation     (CVE-2017-12193)

  - kernel: Use-after-free in the af_packet.c (CVE-2017-15649)

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

Security Fix(es) :

An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions (a commonly used performance optimization). There are three primary variants of the issue which differ in the way the speculative execution can be exploited.

Note: This issue is present in hardware and cannot be fully fixed via software update. The updated kernel packages provide software mitigation for this hardware issue at a cost of potential performance penalty.

* Variant CVE-2017-5715 triggers the speculative execution by utilizing branch target injection. It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the fact that memory accesses may cause allocation into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to cross the syscall and guest/host boundaries and read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. This fix specifically addresses S390 processors. (CVE-2017-5715, Important)

* Variant CVE-2017-5753 triggers the speculative execution by performing a bounds-check bypass. It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the fact that memory accesses may cause allocation into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to cross the syscall boundary and read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. This fix specifically addresses S390 and PowerPC processors. (CVE-2017-5753, Important)

* Variant CVE-2017-5754 relies on the fact that, on impacted microprocessors, during speculative execution of instruction permission faults, exception generation triggered by a faulting access is suppressed until the retirement of the whole instruction block. In a combination with the fact that memory accesses may populate the cache even when the block is being dropped and never committed (executed), an unprivileged local attacker could use this flaw to read privileged (kernel space) memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. Note: CVE-2017-5754 affects Intel x86-64 microprocessors. AMD x86-64 microprocessors are not affected by this issue. This fix specifically addresses PowerPC processors.
(CVE-2017-5754, Important)

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
