The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to 4.4.49 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-7117: Use-after-free vulnerability in the
    __sys_recvmmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux     kernel allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary     code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that     was mishandled during error processing (bnc#1003077).

  - CVE-2017-5576: Integer overflow in the vc4_get_bcl     function in drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the     VideoCore DRM driver in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted size value in a     VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call (bnc#1021294).

  - CVE-2017-5577: The vc4_get_bcl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the VideoCore DRM     driver in the Linux kernel did not set an errno value     upon certain overflow detections, which allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer     dereference and OOPS) via inconsistent size values in a     VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call (bnc#1021294).

  - CVE-2017-5551: The simple_set_acl function in     fs/posix_acl.c in the Linux kernel preserved the setgid     bit during a setxattr call involving a tmpfs filesystem,     which allowed local users to gain group privileges by     leveraging the existence of a setgid program with     restrictions on execute permissions. (bnc#1021258).

  - CVE-2017-2583: The load_segment_descriptor     implementation in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux     kernel improperly emulated a 'MOV SS, NULL selector'     instruction, which allowed guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (guest OS crash) or gain guest OS     privileges via a crafted application (bnc#1020602).

  - CVE-2017-2584: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt (bnc#1019851).

  - CVE-2015-8709: kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel     mishandled uid and gid mappings, which allowed local     users to gain privileges by establishing a user     namespace, waiting for a root process to enter that     namespace with an unsafe uid or gid, and then using the     ptrace system call. NOTE: the vendor states 'there is no     kernel bug here' (bnc#1010933).

  - CVE-2016-9806: Race condition in the netlink_dump     function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (double     free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted application that made sendmsg system calls,     leading to a free operation associated with a new dump     that started earlier than anticipated (bnc#1013540).

  - CVE-2017-5897: fixed a bug in the Linux kernel IPv6     implementation which allowed remote attackers to trigger     an out-of-bounds access, leading to a denial-of-service     attack (bnc#1023762).

  - CVE-2017-5970: Fixed a possible denial-of-service that     could have been triggered by sending bad IP options on a     socket (bsc#1024938).

  - CVE-2017-5986: an application could have triggered a     BUG_ON() in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf() if the socket TX     buffer was full, a thread was waiting on it to queue     more data, and meanwhile another thread peeled off the     association being used by the first thread     (bsc#1025235).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The ip6gre_err function in net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c in the Linux kernel allows remote attackers to have     unspecified impact via vectors involving GRE flags in an IPv6 packet, which trigger an out-of-bounds     access. (CVE-2017-5897)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 GA LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-1350: The VFS subsystem in the Linux kernel     provided an incomplete set of requirements for setattr     operations that underspecifies removing extended     privilege attributes, which allowed local users to cause     a denial of service (capability stripping) via a failed     invocation of a system call, as demonstrated by using     chown to remove a capability from the ping or Wireshark     dumpcap program (bnc#914939).

  - CVE-2016-2117: The atl2_probe function in     drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the Linux     kernel incorrectly enabled scatter/gather I/O, which     allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information     from kernel memory by reading packet data (bnc#968697).

  - CVE-2016-3070: The trace_writeback_dirty_page     implementation in include/trace/events/writeback.h in     the Linux kernel improperly interacted with     mm/migrate.c, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     triggering a certain page move (bnc#979215).

  - CVE-2016-5243: The tipc_nl_compat_link_dump function in     net/tipc/netlink_compat.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly copy a certain string, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory by reading a Netlink message (bnc#983212).

  - CVE-2016-7117: Use-after-free vulnerability in the
    __sys_recvmmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux     kernel allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary     code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that     is mishandled during error processing (bnc#1003077).

  - CVE-2016-9588: arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel     mismanages the #BP and #OF exceptions, which allowed     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS     crash) by declining to handle an exception thrown by an     L2 guest (bnc#1015703).

  - CVE-2016-10044: The aio_mount function in fs/aio.c in     the Linux kernel did not properly restrict execute     access, which made it easier for local users to bypass     intended SELinux W^X policy restrictions, and     consequently gain privileges, via an io_setup system     call (bnc#1023992).

  - CVE-2016-10200: Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP     Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls     without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the     SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c and     net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c (bnc#1028415).

  - CVE-2016-10208: The ext4_fill_super function in     fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel did not properly     validate meta block groups, which allowed physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4     image (bnc#1023377).

  - CVE-2017-2671: The ping_unhash function in     net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel is too late in     obtaining a certain lock and consequently cannot ensure     that disconnect function calls are safe, which allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by     leveraging access to the protocol value of IPPROTO_ICMP     in a socket system call (bnc#1031003).

  - CVE-2017-5669: The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the     Linux kernel did not restrict the address calculated by     a certain rounding operation, which allowed local users     to map page zero, and consequently bypass a protection     mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by     making crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a     privileged context (bnc#1026914).

  - CVE-2017-5897: The ip6gre_err function in     net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote     attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors     involving GRE flags in an IPv6 packet, which trigger an     out-of-bounds access (bnc#1023762).

  - CVE-2017-5970: The ipv4_pktinfo_prepare function in     net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel allowed     attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash)     via (1) an application that made crafted system calls or     possibly (2) IPv4 traffic with invalid IP options     (bnc#1024938).

  - CVE-2017-5986: Race condition in the     sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in net/sctp/socket.c in     the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial     of service (assertion failure and panic) via a     multithreaded application that peels off an association     in a certain buffer-full state (bnc#1025235).

  - CVE-2017-6074: The dccp_rcv_state_process function in     net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel mishandled     DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN     state, which allowed local users to obtain root     privileges or cause a denial of service (double free)     via an application that made an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO     setsockopt system call (bnc#1026024).

  - CVE-2017-6214: The tcp_splice_read function in     net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop     and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with     the URG flag (bnc#1026722).

  - CVE-2017-6345: The LLC subsystem in the Linux kernel did     not ensure that a certain destructor exists in required     circumstances, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (BUG_ON) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1027190).

  - CVE-2017-6346: Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c     in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a multithreaded application     that made PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls     (bnc#1027189).

  - CVE-2017-6348: The hashbin_delete function in     net/irda/irqueue.c in the Linux kernel improperly     managed lock dropping, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted     operations on IrDA devices (bnc#1027178).

  - CVE-2017-6353: net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did     not properly restrict association peel-off operations     during certain wait states, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double     free) via a multithreaded application. NOTE: this     vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for     CVE-2017-5986 (bnc#1027066).

  - CVE-2017-7187: The sg_ioctl function in     drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer     overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via     a large command size in an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call,     leading to out-of-bounds write access in the sg_write     function (bnc#1030213).

  - CVE-2017-7261: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux     kernel did not check for a zero value of certain levels     data, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (ZERO_SIZE_PTR dereference, and GPF and possibly     panic) via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD*     device (bnc#1031052).

  - CVE-2017-7294: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux     kernel did not validate addition of certain levels data,     which allowed local users to trigger an integer overflow     and out-of-bounds write, and cause a denial of service     (system hang or crash) or possibly gain privileges, via     a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device     (bnc#1031440).

  - CVE-2017-7308: The packet_set_ring function in     net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly validate certain block-size data, which allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (overflow) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted     system calls (bnc#1031579).

  - CVE-2017-7616: Incorrect error handling in the     set_mempolicy and mbind compat syscalls in     mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized stack     data by triggering failure of a certain bitmap operation     (bnc#1033336).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) implementation freed SKB (socket buffer) resources for a DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet when the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO option is set on the socket. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to alter the kernel memory, allowing them to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2017-6074)

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. When file permissions are modified via chmod and the user is not in the owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in inode_change_ok().
Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr sets the file permissions as well as the new ACL, but doesn't clear the setgid bit in a similar way; this allows to bypass the check in chmod. (CVE-2016-7097)

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in 'tmpfs' file system.
When file permissions are modified via 'chmod' and the user is not in the owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in inode_change_ok(). Setting a POSIX ACL via 'setxattr' sets the file permissions as well as the new ACL, but doesn't clear the setgid bit in a similar way; this allows to bypass the check in 'chmod'.
(CVE-2017-5551)

An issue was found in the Linux kernel ipv6 implementation of GRE tunnels which allows a remote attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds access. (CVE-2017-5897)

It was discovered that an application may trigger a BUG_ON in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf if the socket tx buffer is full, a thread is waiting on it to queue more data, and meanwhile another thread peels off the association being used by the first thread. (CVE-2017-5986)

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where having malicious IP options present would cause the ipv4_pktinfo_prepare() function to drop/free the dst. This could result in a system crash or possible privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-5970)

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of packets with the URG flag. Applications using the splice() and tcp_splice_read() functionality can allow a remote attacker to force the kernel to enter a condition in which it can loop indefinitely. (CVE-2017-6214)
