______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that solves 19 vulnerabilities and has 19 fixes
   is now available.

Description:


   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel was updated receive various
   security and bugfixes.

   The following security bugs were fixed:

   - CVE-2018-14634: Prevent integer overflow in create_elf_tables that
     allowed a local attacker to exploit this vulnerability via a SUID-root
     binary and obtain full root privileges (bsc#1108912)
   - CVE-2018-14617: Prevent NULL pointer dereference and panic in
     hfsplus_lookup() when opening a file (that is purportedly a hard link)
     in an hfs+ filesystem that has malformed catalog data, and is mounted
     read-only without a metadata directory (bsc#1102870)
   - CVE-2018-16276: Incorrect bounds checking in the yurex USB driver in
     yurex_read allowed local attackers to use user access read/writes to
     crash the kernel or potentially escalate privileges (bsc#1106095)
   - CVE-2018-12896: Prevent integer overflow in the POSIX timer code that
     was caused by the way the overrun accounting works. Depending on
     interval and expiry time values, the overrun can be larger than INT_MAX,
     but the accounting is int based. This basically made the accounting
     values, which are visible to user space via timer_getoverrun(2) and
     siginfo::si_overrun, random. This allowed a local user to cause a denial
     of service (signed integer overflow) via crafted mmap, futex,
     timer_create, and timer_settime system calls (bnc#1099922)
   - CVE-2018-13093: Prevent NULL pointer dereference and panic in
     lookup_slow()
     on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing pathwalks on a corrupted xfs
      image. This occured because of a lack of proper validation that cached
      inodes are free during allocation (bnc#1100001)
   - CVE-2018-10940: The cdrom_ioctl_media_changed function allowed local
     attackers to use a incorrect bounds check in the CDROM driver
     CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl to read out kernel memory (bsc#1092903)
   - CVE-2018-16658: Prevent information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status
     that could have been used by local attackers to read kernel memory
     (bnc#1107689)
   - CVE-2018-6555: The irda_setsockopt function allowed local users to cause
     a denial of service (ias_object use-after-free and system crash) or
     possibly have unspecified other impact via an AF_IRDA socket
     (bnc#1106511)
   - CVE-2018-6554: Prevent memory leak in the irda_bind function that
     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by
     repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA socket (bnc#1106509)
   - CVE-2018-10902: Protect against concurrent access to prevent double
     realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and
     snd_rawmidi_output_status(). A malicious local attacker could have used
     this for privilege escalation (bnc#1105322)
   - CVE-2018-10879: A local user could have caused a use-after-free in
     ext4_xattr_set_entry function and a denial of service or unspecified
     other impact by renaming a file in a crafted ext4 filesystem image
     (bsc#1099844)
   - CVE-2018-10883: A local user could have caused an out-of-bounds write in
     jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), a denial of service, and a system crash
     by mounting and operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image
     (bsc#1099863)
   - CVE-2018-10880: Prevent stack-out-of-bounds write in the ext4 filesystem
     code when mounting and writing to a crafted ext4 image in
     ext4_update_inline_data(). An attacker could have used this to cause a
     system crash and a denial of service (bsc#1099845)
   - CVE-2018-10882: A local user could have caused an out-of-bound write, a
     denial of service, and a system crash by unmounting a crafted ext4
     filesystem image (bsc#1099849)
   - CVE-2018-10881: A local user could have caused an out-of-bound access in
     ext4_get_group_info function, a denial of service, and a system crash by
     mounting and operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099864)
   - CVE-2018-10877: Prevent out-of-bound access in the ext4_ext_drop_refs()
     function when operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099846)
   - CVE-2018-10876: A use-after-free was possible in ext4_ext_remove_space()
     function when mounting and operating a crafted ext4 image (bsc#1099811)
   - CVE-2018-10878: A local user could have caused an out-of-bounds write
     and a denial of service or unspecified other impact by mounting and
     operating a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099813)
   - CVE-2018-10853: The KVM hypervisor did not check current privilege(CPL)
     level while emulating unprivileged instructions. An unprivileged guest
     user/process could have used this flaw to potentially escalate
     privileges inside guest (bsc#1097104).
