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).

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

This update adds mitigations for various side channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose content of otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032).

• CVE-2017-5753: Local attackers on systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use attacker controllable speculative execution over code patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak content from otherwise not readable memory in the same address space, allowing retrieval of passwords, cryptographic keys and other secrets.

  This problem is mitigated by adding speculative fencing on affected code paths throughout the Linux kernel.

• CVE-2017-5715: Local attackers on systems with modern CPUs featuring branch prediction could use mispredicted branches to speculatively execute code patterns that in turn could be made to leak other non-readable content in the same address space, an attack similar to CVE-2017-5753.

  This problem is mitigated by disabling predictive branches, depending on CPU architecture either by firmware updates and/or fixes in the user-kernel privilege boundaries.

  Please contact your CPU / hardware vendor for potential microcode or BIOS updates needed for this fix.

  As this feature can have a performance impact, it can be disabled using the 'nospec' kernel commandline option.

• CVE-2017-5754: Local attackers on systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use code patterns in userspace to speculative executive code that would read otherwise read protected memory, an attack similar to CVE-2017-5753.

  This problem is mitigated by unmapping the Linux Kernel from the user address space during user code execution, following a approach called 'KAISER'. The terms used here are 'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page Table Isolation'.

  This feature is disabled on unaffected architectures.

  This feature can be enabled / disabled by the 'pti=[on|off|auto]' or 'nopti' commandline options.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 Realtime kernel was updated to 4.4.104 to receive various security and bugfixes.

This update adds mitigations for various side channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose content of otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032).

• CVE-2017-5753: Local attackers on systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use attacker controllable speculative execution over code patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak content from otherwise not readable memory in the same address space, allowing retrieval of passwords, cryptographic keys and other secrets.

  This problem is mitigated by adding speculative fencing on affected code paths throughout the Linux kernel.

• CVE-2017-5715: Local attackers on systems with modern CPUs featuring branch prediction could use mispredicted branches to speculatively execute code patterns that in turn could be made to leak other non-readable content in the same address space, an attack similar to CVE-2017-5753.

  This problem is mitigated by disabling predictive branches, depending on CPU architecture either by firmware updates and/or fixes in the user-kernel privilege boundaries.

  This is done with help of Linux Kernel fixes on the Intel/AMD x86_64 architectures. On x86_64, this requires also updates of the CPU microcode packages, delivered in seperate updates.

  As this feature can have a performance impact, it can be disabled using the 'nospec' kernel commandline option.

• CVE-2017-5754: Local attackers on systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use code patterns in userspace to speculative executive code that would read otherwise read protected memory, an attack similar to CVE-2017-5753.

  This problem is mitigated by unmapping the Linux Kernel from the user address space during user code execution, following a approach called 'KAISER'. The terms used here are 'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page Table Isolation'.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2017-1000405: The Linux Kernel versions had a problematic use of pmd_mkdirty() in the touch_pmd() function inside the THP implementation. touch_pmd() can be reached by get_user_pages(). In such case, the pmd will become dirty. This scenario breaks the new can_follow_write_pmd()'s logic - pmd can become dirty without going through a COW cycle. This bug is not as severe as the original 'Dirty cow' because an ext4 file (or any other regular file) cannot 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 can be overwritten (since their mapping can 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).
• CVE-2017-1000410: The Linux kernel was affected by a vulnerability that lies in the processing of incoming L2CAP commands - ConfigRequest, and ConfigResponse messages. (bnc#1070535).
• CVE-2017-11600: net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure that the dir value of xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message (bnc#1050231).
• CVE-2017-12193: The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel mishandled node splitting, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) via a crafted application, as demonstrated by the keyring key type, and key addition and link creation operations (bnc#1066192).
• CVE-2017-15115: The sctp_do_peeloff function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not check whether the intended netns is used in a peel-off action, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or…
