CVE-2014-0038

This kernel update provides an update to the 3.10 longterm branch, currently 3.10.28 and fixes the following security issues:

The ath9k_htc_set_bssid_mask function in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_main.c in the Linux kernel through 3.12 uses a BSSID masking approach to determine the set of MAC addresses on which a Wi-Fi device is listening, which allows remote attackers to discover the original MAC address after spoofing by sending a series of packets to MAC addresses with certain bit manipulations. (CVE-2013-4579)

Pageexec reported a bug in the Linux kernel's recvmmsg syscall when called from code using the x32 ABI. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or gain administrator privileges (CVE-2014-0038)

Faults during task-switch due to unhandled FPU-exceptions allow to kill processes at random on all affected kernels, resulting in local DOS in the end. One some architectures, privilege escalation under non-common circumstances is possible. (CVE-2014-1438)

The hamradio yam_ioctl() code fails to initialise the cmd field of the struct yamdrv_ioctl_cfg leading to a 4-byte info leak. (CVE-2014-1446)

Linux kernel built with the NetFilter Connection Tracking(NF_CONNTRACK) support for IRC protocol(NF_NAT_IRC), is vulnerable to an information leakage flaw. It could occur when communicating over direct client-to-client IRC connection(/dcc) via a NAT-ed network. Kernel attempts to mangle IRC TCP packet's content, wherein an uninitialised 'buffer' object is copied to a socket buffer and sent over to the other end of a connection. (CVE-2014-1690)

It also fixes an issue where some laptops are forced to use vesa driver & No ACPI (mga#6077)

For other upstream fixes, see the referenced changelogs.

The proprietary fglrx driver has also been updated from Catalyst 13.11-beta6 to Catalyst 13.12 official driver.

This kernel update provides an update to 3.12.9 and fixes the following critical security issue:

Multiple buffer underflows in the XFS implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 allow local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for a (1) XFS_IOC_ATTRLIST_BY_HANDLE or (2) XFS_IOC_ATTRLIST_BY_HANDLE_32 ioctl call with a crafted length value, related to the xfs_attrlist_by_handle function in fs/xfs/xfs_ioctl.c and the xfs_compat_attrlist_by_handle function in fs/xfs/xfs_ioctl32.c.

• CVE-2017-15102: The tower_probe function in drivers/usb/misc/legousbtower.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users (who are physically proximate for inserting a crafted USB device) to gain privileges by leveraging a write-what-where condition that occurs after a race condition and a NULL pointer dereference. (bnc#1066705)
• CVE-2017-16531: drivers/usb/core/config.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device, related to the USB_DT_INTERFACE_ASSOCIATION descriptor. (bnc#1066671)

The following non-security bugs were fixed:

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to 3.12.61 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2017-16939: The XFRM dump policy implementation in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted SO_RCVBUF setsockopt system call in conjunction with XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY Netlink messages (bnc#1069702 1069708).
• CVE-2017-1000405: The Linux Kernel had a problematic use of pmd_mkdirty() in the touch_pmd() function inside the THP implementation. touch_pmd() could be reached by get_user_pages(). In such case, the pmd would become dirty. This scenario breaks the new can_follow_write_pmd()'s logic - pmd could become dirty without going through a COW cycle. This bug was not as severe as the original 'Dirty cow' because an ext4 file (or any other regular file) could not be mapped using THP. Nevertheless, it did allow us to overwrite read-only huge pages. For example, the zero huge page and sealed shmem files could be overwritten (since their mapping could be populated using THP). Note that after the first write page-fault to the zero page, it will be replaced with a new fresh (and zeroed) thp (bnc#1069496 1070307).
• CVE-2017-16649: The usbnet_generic_cdc_bind function in drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1067085).

• CVE-2017-16650: The qmi_wwan_bind function in drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1067086).
