The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to 4.4.120 to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2017-13166: An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the v4l2 video driver was fixed. (bnc#1072865).
- CVE-2017-15951: The KEYS subsystem did not correctly synchronize the actions of updating versus finding a key in the 'negative' state to avoid a race condition, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1062840 bnc#1065615).
- CVE-2017-16644: The hdpvr_probe function in drivers/media/usb/hdpvr/hdpvr-core.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (improper error handling and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1067118).
- CVE-2017-16912: The 'get_pipe()' function (drivers/usb/usbip/stub_rx.c) allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a specially crafted USB over IP packet (bnc#1078673).
- CVE-2017-16913: The 'stub_recv_cmd_submit()' function (drivers/usb/usbip/stub_rx.c) when handling CMD_SUBMIT packets allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (arbitrary memory allocation) via a specially crafted USB over IP packet (bnc#1078672).
- CVE-2017-17975: Use-after-free in the usbtv_probe function in drivers/media/usb/usbtv/usbtv-core.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering failure of audio registration, because a kfree of the usbtv data structure occurs during a usbtv_video_free call, but the usbtv_video_fail label's code attempts to both access and free this data structure (bnc#1074426).
- CVE-2017-18208: The madvise_willneed function in mm/madvise.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping (bnc#1083494).
- CVE-2018-8087: Memory leak in the hwsim_new_radio_nl function in...
