______________________________________________________________________________
An update that solves 14 vulnerabilities and has one errata
is now available.
Description:
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 GA LTSS kernel was updated to receive various
security and bugfixes.
This update adds mitigations for various side channel attacks against
modern CPUs that could disclose content of otherwise unreadable memory
(bnc#1068032).
– CVE-2017-5753 / “SpectreAttack”: Local attackers on systems with modern
CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use attacker
controllable speculative execution over code patterns in the Linux
Kernel to leak content from otherwise not readable memory in the same
address space, allowing retrieval of passwords, cryptographic keys and
other secrets.
This problem is mitigated by adding speculative fencing on affected code
paths throughout the Linux kernel.
This issue is addressed for the x86_64, the IBM Power and IBM zSeries
architecture.
– CVE-2017-5715 / “SpectreAttack”: Local attackers on systems with modern
CPUs featuring branch prediction could use mispredicted branches to
speculatively execute code patterns that in turn could be made to leak
other non-readable content in the same address space, an attack similar
to CVE-2017-5753.
This problem is mitigated by disabling predictive branches, depending
on CPU architecture either by firmware updates and/or fixes in the
user-kernel privilege boundaries.
This is done with help of Linux Kernel fixes on the Intel/AMD x86_64 and
IBM zSeries architectures. On x86_64, this requires also updates
of the CPU microcode packages, delivered in seperate updates.
For IBM Power and zSeries the required firmware updates are supplied
over regular channels by IBM.
As this feature can have a performance impact, it can be disabled using
the “nospec” kernel commandline option.
– CVE-2017-5754 / “MeltdownAttack”: Local attackers on systems with modern
CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use code patterns in
userspace to speculative executive code that would read
otherwise read protected memory, an attack similar to CVE-2017-5753.
This problem is mitigated by unmapping the Linux Kernel from the user
address space during user code execution, following a approach called
“KAISER”. The terms used here are “KAISER” / “Kernel Address Isolation”
and “PTI” / “Page Table Isolation”.
This update does this on the x86_64 architecture, it is not required
on the IBM zSeries architecture.
This feature can be enabled / disabled by the “pti=[on|off|auto]” or
“nopti” commandline options.
The following security bugs were fixed:
– CVE-2017-15868: The bnep_add_connection function in
net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure that an
l2cap socket is available, which allowed local users to gain privileges
via a crafted application (bnc#1071470).
– CVE-2017-13167: An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel
sound timer. (bnc#1072876).
– CVE-2017-16538: drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/lmedm04.c in the Linux
kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (general
protection fault and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other
impact via a crafted USB device, related to a missing warm-start check
and incorrect attach timing (dm04_lme2510_frontend_attach versus
dm04_lme2510_tuner) (bnc#1066569).
– CVE-2017-17558: The usb_destroy_configuration function in
drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem in the Linux kernel
did not consider the maximum number of configurations and interfaces
before attempting to release resources, which allowed local users to
cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write access) or possibly have
unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1072561).
– CVE-2017-17450: net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux kernel did not
require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for add_callback and
remove_callback operations, which allowed local users to bypass intended
access restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure is shared
across all net namespaces (bnc#1071695).
– CVE-2017-17449: The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in
net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4, when
CONFIG_NLMON is enabled, did not restrict observations of Netlink
messages to a single net namespace, which allowed local users to obtain
sensitive information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to
sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on the system
(bnc#1071694).
– CVE-2017-17448: net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c in the Linux kernel
did not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for new, get, and del
operations, which allowed local users to bypass intended access
restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data structure is shared
across all net namespaces (bnc#1071693).
– CVE-2017-8824: The dccp_disconnect function in net/dccp/proto.c in the
Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of
service (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call during the
DCCP_LISTEN state (bnc#1070771).
– CVE-2017-15115: The sctp_do_peeloff function in net/sctp/socket.c in the
Linux kernel did not check whether the intended netns is used in a
peel-off action, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service
(use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other
impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1068671).
– CVE-2017-11600: net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux kernel through
4.12.3, when CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is enabled, did not ensure that the dir
value of xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which allowed
local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or
possibly have unspecified other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm
Netlink message (bnc#1050231).
– CVE-2017-16534: The cdc_parse_cdc_header function in
drivers/usb/core/message.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or
possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device
(bnc#1066693).
