Security issues already fixed in the previous update but not referenced by CVE:

• CVE-2014-9728: Kernel built with the UDF file system(CONFIG_UDF_FS) support were vulnerable to a crash (bsc#933904).
• CVE-2014-9729: Kernel built with the UDF file system(CONFIG_UDF_FS) support were vulnerable to a crash (bsc#933904).
• CVE-2014-9730: Kernel built with the UDF file system(CONFIG_UDF_FS) support were vulnerable to a crash (bsc#933904).
• CVE-2014-9731: Kernel built with the UDF file system(CONFIG_UDF_FS) support were vulnerable to information leakage (bsc#933896).

The following non-security bugs were fixed:

• ALSA: hda - add codec ID for Skylake display audio codec (bsc#936556).
• ALSA: hda/hdmi - apply Haswell fix-ups to Skylake display codec (bsc#936556).
• ALSA: hda_controller: Separate stream_tag for input and output streams (bsc#936556).
• ALSA: hda_intel: add AZX_DCAPS_I915_POWERWELL for SKL and BSW (bsc#936556).
• ALSA: hda_intel: apply the Seperate stream_tag for Skylake (bsc#936556).
• ALSA: hda_intel: apply the Seperate stream_tag for Sunrise Point (bsc#936556).
• Btrfs: Handle unaligned length in extent_same (bsc#937609).
• Btrfs: add missing inode item update in fallocate() (bsc#938023).
• Btrfs: check pending chunks when shrinking fs to avoid corruption (bsc#936445).
• Btrfs: do not update mtime/ctime on deduped inodes (bsc#937616).
• Btrfs: fix block group ->space_info null pointer dereference (bsc#935088).
• Btrfs: fix clone / extent-same deadlocks (bsc#937612).
• Btrfs: fix deadlock with extent-same and readpage (bsc#937612).
• Btrfs: fix fsync data loss after append write (bsc#936446).
• Btrfs: fix hang during inode eviction due to concurrent readahead (bsc#935085).
• Btrfs: fix memory leak in the extent_same ioctl (bsc#937613).
• Btrfs: fix race when reusing stale extent buffers that leads to BUG_ON (bsc#926369).
• Btrfs: fix use after free when close_ctree frees the orphan_rsv (bsc#938022).
• Btrfs: pass unaligned length to btrfs_cmp_data() (bsc#937609).
• Btrfs: provide super_operations->inode_get_dev (bsc#927455).
• Drivers: hv: balloon: check if ha_region_mutex was acquired in MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE case.
• Drivers: hv: fcopy: process deferred messages when we complete the transaction.
• Drivers: hv: fcopy: rename fcopy_work -> fcopy_timeout_work.
• Drivers: hv: fcopy: set .owner reference for file operations.
• Drivers: hv: fcopy: switch to using the hvutil_device_state state machine.
• Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: correctly handle num_pages>INT_MAX case.
• Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: correctly handle val.freeram lower than num_pages case.
• Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: do not lose memory when onlining order is not natural.
• Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: do not online pages in offline…

Race condition in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (list corruption and panic) via a rapid series of system calls related to sockets, as demonstrated by setsockopt calls.

Marcelo Ricardo Leitner discovered a race condition in the Linux kernel's SCTP address configuration lists when using Address Configuration Change (ASCONF) options on a socket. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash).
