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

The following security bugs were fixed:

• 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

(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-2017-18595: A double free in allocate_trace_buffer was fixed …

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP 3 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2019-14895: A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux kernel in Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the station attempts a connection negotiation during the handling of the remote devices country settings. This could have allowed the remote device to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code (bnc#1157158).
• CVE-2019-18660: The Linux kernel on powerpc allowed Information Exposure because the Spectre-RSB mitigation is not in place for all applicable CPUs. This is related to arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S and arch/powerpc/kernel/security.c (bnc#1157038).
• CVE-2019-18683: An issue was discovered in drivers/media/platform/vivid in the Linux kernel. It is exploitable for privilege escalation on some Linux distributions where local users have /dev/video0 access, but only if the driver happens to be loaded. There are multiple race conditions during streaming stopping in this driver (part of the V4L2 subsystem). These issues are caused by wrong mutex locking in vivid_stop_generating_vid_cap(), vivid_stop_generating_vid_out(), sdr_cap_stop_streaming(), and the corresponding kthreads. At least one of these race conditions leads to a use-after-free (bnc#1155897).

• CVE-2019-19052: A memory leak in the gs_can_open() function in drivers/net/can/usb/gs_usb.c in the Linux kernel allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering usb_submit_urb() failures (bnc#1157324).
• CVE-2019-19074: A memory leak in the ath9k_wmi_cmd() function in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/wmi.c in the Linux kernel allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) (bnc#1157143).
• CVE-2019-19073: Memory leaks in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c in the Linux kernel allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering wait_for_completion_timeout() failures. This affects the htc_config_pipe_credits() function, the htc_setup_complete() function, and the htc_connect_service() function (bnc#1157070).
• CVE-2019-16231: drivers/net/fjes/fjes_main.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 did not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference (bnc#1150466).
• CVE-2019-18805: An issue was discovered in net/ipv4/sysctl_net_ipv4.c in the Linux kernel There was a net/ipv4/tcp_input.c signed integer overflow in tcp_ack_update_rtt() when userspace writes a very large integer to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_min_rtt_wlen, leading to a denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact (bnc#1156187).
• CVE-2019-18680: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel. There was a NULL pointer dereference in rds_tcp_kill_sock() in net/rds/tcp.c that will cause denial of service (bnc#1155898).
