The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11-SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2019-11135: Aborting an asynchronous TSX operation on Intel CPUs with Transactional Memory support could be used to facilitate sidechannel information leaks out of microarchitectural buffers, similar to the previously described 'Microarchitectural Data Sampling' attack.

  The Linux kernel was supplemented with the option to disable TSX operation altogether (requiring CPU Microcode updates on older systems) and better flushing of microarchitectural buffers (VERW).

  The set of options available is described in our TID at https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7023735

• CVE-2018-12207: Untrusted virtual machines on Intel CPUs could exploit a race condition in the Instruction Fetch Unit of the Intel CPU to cause a Machine Exception during Page Size Change, causing the CPU core to be non-functional.

  The Linux Kernel kvm hypervisor was adjusted to avoid page size changes in executable pages by splitting / merging huge pages into small pages as needed. More information can be found on https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7024251

• CVE-2018-12207: Untrusted virtual machines on Intel CPUs could exploit a race condition in the Instruction Fetch Unit of the Intel CPU to cause a Machine Exception during Page Size Change, causing the CPU core to be non-functional.

  The Linux Kernel kvm hypervisor was adjusted to avoid page size changes in executable pages by splitting / merging huge pages into small pages as needed. More information can be found on https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7023735

• CVE-2019-16995: Fix a memory leak in hsr_dev_finalize() if hsr_add_port failed to add a port, which may have caused denial of service (bsc#1152685).

• CVE-2019-11135: Aborting an asynchronous TSX operation on Intel CPUs with Transactional Memory support could be used to facilitate sidechannel information leaks out of microarchitectural buffers, similar to the previously described 'Microarchitectural Data Sampling' attack.

  The Linux kernel was supplemented with the option to disable TSX operation altogether (requiring CPU Microcode updates on older systems) and better flushing of microarchitectural buffers (VERW).

  The set of options available is described in our TID at https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7024251

• CVE-2019-15902: A backporting issue was discovered that re-introduced the Spectre vulnerability it had aimed to eliminate. This occurred because the backport process depends on cherry picking specific commits, and because two (correctly ordered) code lines were swapped (bnc#1149376).

• CVE-2019-15291: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference issue that could be caused by a malicious USB device (bnc#1146519).

• CVE-2019-15807: Fixed a memory leak in the SCSI module that could be abused to cause denial of service (bnc#1148938).

• CVE-2019-13272: Fixed a mishandled the recording of the credentials of a process that wants to create a ptrace relationship, which allowed local users to obtain root access by leveraging certain scenarios with a parent-child process relationship, where a parent drops privileges and calls execve (potentially allowing control by an attacker). (bnc#1140671).

• CVE-2019-14821: An out-of-bounds access issue was fixed in the kernel's KVM hypervisor. An unprivileged host user or process with access to '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the host kernel, resulting in a denial of service or potentially escalating privileges on the system (bnc#1151350).

• CVE-2019-15505: An out-of-bounds issue had been fixed that could be caused by crafted USB device traffic (bnc#1147122).

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:
