The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 kernel was updated to 3.0.101 and also includes various other bug and security fixes.

A new feature was added :

  - supported.conf: marked net/netfilter/xt_set as supported     (bnc#851066)(fate#313309) The following security bugs     have been fixed :

  - Array index error in the kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu     function in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c in the KVM subsystem in     the Linux kernel through 3.12.5 allows local users to     gain privileges via a large id value. (bnc#853050).
    (CVE-2013-4587)

  - The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.12.5     allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (system crash) via a VAPIC synchronization     operation involving a page-end address. (bnc#853052).
    (CVE-2013-6368)

  - The apic_get_tmcct function in arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c in     the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.12.5     allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (divide-by-zero error and host OS crash) via crafted     modifications of the TMICT value. (bnc#853051).
    (CVE-2013-6367)

  - Memory leak in the __kvm_set_memory_region function in     virt/kvm/kvm_main.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9     allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) by leveraging certain device access to     trigger movement of memory slots. (bnc#851101).
    (CVE-2013-4592)

  - The lbs_debugfs_write function in     drivers/net/wireless/libertas/debugfs.c in the Linux     kernel through 3.12.1 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (OOPS) by leveraging root privileges     for a zero-length write operation. (bnc#852559).
    (CVE-2013-6378)

  - Multiple buffer overflows in     drivers/staging/wlags49_h2/wl_priv.c in the Linux kernel     before 3.12 allow local users to cause a denial of     service or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and providing a     long station-name string, related to the (1)     wvlan_uil_put_info and (2) wvlan_set_station_nickname     functions. (bnc#849029). (CVE-2013-4514)

  - The bcm_char_ioctl function in     drivers/staging/bcm/Bcmchar.c in the Linux kernel before     3.12 does not initialize a certain data structure, which     allows local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via an IOCTL_BCM_GET_DEVICE_DRIVER_INFO     ioctl call. (bnc#849034). (CVE-2013-4515)

  - The ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_init function in     net/wireless/radiotap.c in the Linux kernel before     3.11.7 does not check whether a frame contains any data     outside of the header, which might allow attackers to     cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) via a     crafted header. (bnc#854634). (CVE-2013-7027)

  - The ipc_rcu_putref function in ipc/util.c in the Linux     kernel before 3.10 does not properly manage a reference     count, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption or system crash) via a     crafted application. (bnc#848321). (CVE-2013-4483)

  - Multiple integer overflows in Alchemy LCD frame-buffer     drivers in the Linux kernel before 3.12 allow local     users to create a read-write memory mapping for the     entirety of kernel memory, and consequently gain     privileges, via crafted mmap operations, related to the     (1) au1100fb_fb_mmap function in     drivers/video/au1100fb.c and the (2) au1200fb_fb_mmap     function in drivers/video/au1200fb.c. (bnc#849021).
    (CVE-2013-4511)

  - The aac_send_raw_srb function in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel     through 3.12.1 does not properly validate a certain size     value, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (invalid pointer dereference) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via an FSACTL_SEND_RAW_SRB     ioctl call that triggers a crafted SRB command.
    (bnc#852373). (CVE-2013-6380)

  - Linux kernel built with the networking     support(CONFIG_NET) is vulnerable to an information     leakage flaw in the socket layer. It could occur while     doing recvmsg(2), recvfrom(2) socket calls. It occurs     due to improperly initialised msg_name &amp; msg_namelen     message header parameters. (bnc#854722). (CVE-2013-6463)

  - The aac_compat_ioctl function in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c in the Linux kernel before     3.11.8 does not require the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability,     which allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions via a crafted ioctl call. (bnc#852558).
    (CVE-2013-6383)

  - Off-by-one error in the get_prng_bytes function in     crypto/ansi_cprng.c in the Linux kernel through 3.11.4     makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to     defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via multiple     requests for small amounts of data, leading to improper     management of the state of the consumed data.
    (bnc#840226). (CVE-2013-4345)

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel :

The Linux kernel before 3.12.2 does not properly use the get_dumpable function, which allows local users to bypass intended ptrace restrictions or obtain sensitive information from IA64 scratch registers via a crafted application, related to kernel/ptrace.c and arch/ia64/include/asm/processor.h (CVE-2013-2929).

The perf_trace_event_perm function in kernel/trace/trace_event_perf.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.2 does not properly restrict access to the perf subsystem, which allows local users to enable function tracing via a crafted application (CVE-2013-2930).

Multiple integer overflows in Alchemy LCD frame-buffer drivers in the Linux kernel before 3.12 allow local users to create a read-write memory mapping for the entirety of kernel memory, and consequently gain privileges, via crafted mmap operations, related to the (1) au1100fb_fb_mmap function in drivers/video/au1100fb.c and the (2) au1200fb_fb_mmap function in drivers/video/au1200fb.c (CVE-2013-4511).

Buffer overflow in the exitcode_proc_write function in arch/um/kernel/exitcode.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging root privileges for a write operation (CVE-2013-4512).

Multiple buffer overflows in drivers/staging/wlags49_h2/wl_priv.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12 allow local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and providing a long station-name string, related to the (1) wvlan_uil_put_info and (2) wvlan_set_station_nickname functions (CVE-2013-4514).

The bcm_char_ioctl function in drivers/staging/bcm/Bcmchar.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via an IOCTL_BCM_GET_DEVICE_DRIVER_INFO ioctl call (CVE-2013-4515).

Memory leak in the __kvm_set_memory_region function in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by leveraging certain device access to trigger movement of memory slots (CVE-2013-4592).

The lbs_debugfs_write function in drivers/net/wireless/libertas/debugfs.c in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by leveraging root privileges for a zero-length write operation (CVE-2013-6378).

The aac_send_raw_srb function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 does not properly validate a certain size value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an FSACTL_SEND_RAW_SRB ioctl call that triggers a crafted SRB command (CVE-2013-6380).

Buffer overflow in the qeth_snmp_command function in drivers/s390/net/qeth_core_main.c in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via an SNMP ioctl call with a length value that is incompatible with the command-buffer size (CVE-2013-6381).

The aac_compat_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11.8 does not require the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted ioctl call (CVE-2013-6383).

The uio_mmap_physical function in drivers/uio/uio.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12 does not validate the size of a memory block, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly gain privileges via crafted mmap operations, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-4511 (CVE-2013-6763).
