______________________________________________________________________________
An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has 28 fixes
is now available.
Description:
The SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 kernel was updated to 3.12.39 to
receive various security and bugfixes.
Following security bugs were fixed:
– CVE-2015-0777: The XEN usb backend could leak information to the guest
system due to copying uninitialized memory.
– CVE-2015-2150: Xen and the Linux kernel did not properly restrict access
to PCI command registers, which might have allowed local guest users to
cause a denial of service (non-maskable interrupt and host crash) by
disabling the (1) memory or (2) I/O decoding for a PCI Express device
and then accessing the device, which triggers an Unsupported Request
(UR) response.
