The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP4 RT kernel was updated to 3.12.31 to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2020-8834: KVM on Power8 processors had a conflicting use of HSTATE_HOST_R1 to store r1 state in kvmppc_hv_entry plus in kvmppc_{save,restore}_tm, leading to a stack corruption. Because of this, an attacker with the ability to run code in kernel space of a guest VM can cause the host kernel to panic (bnc#1168276).
- CVE-2020-11494: An issue was discovered in slc_bump in drivers/net/can/slcan.c, which allowed attackers to read uninitialized can_frame data, potentially containing sensitive information from kernel stack memory, if the configuration lacks CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL (bnc#1168424).
- CVE-2020-10942: In get_raw_socket in drivers/vhost/net.c lacks validation of an sk_family field, which might allow attackers to trigger kernel stack corruption via crafted system calls (bnc#1167629).
- CVE-2020-8647: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability in the vc_do_resize function in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c (bnc#1162929).
- CVE-2020-8649: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability in the vgacon_invert_region function in drivers/video/console/vgacon.c (bnc#1162931).
- CVE-2020-9383: Fixed an issue in set_fdc in drivers/block/floppy.c, which leads to a wait_til_ready out-of-bounds read (bnc#1165111).
- CVE-2019-9458: In the video driver there was a use after free due to a race condition. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed (bnc#1168295).
- CVE-2019-3701: Fixed an issue in can_can_gw_rcv, which could cause a system crash (bnc#1120386).
- CVE-2019-19768: Fixed a use-after-free in the __blk_add_trace function in kernel/trace/blktrace.c (bnc#1159285).
- CVE-2019-19770: Fixed a use-after-free in the debugfs_remove function (bsc#1159198).
The following non-security bugs were fixed:
- ACPICA: Introduce ACPI_ACCESS_BYTE_WIDTH() macro (bsc#1051510).
- ACPI: watchdog: Fix...
