The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP1 RT kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2019-14835: A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway, could have used this flaw to increase their privileges on the host (bnc#1150112).

CVE-2019-15216: There was a NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/usb/misc/yurex.c driver (bnc#1146361).

CVE-2019-15924: fm10k_init_module in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_main.c had a NULL pointer dereference because there was no -ENOMEM upon an alloc_workqueue failure (bnc#1149612).

CVE-2019-9456: In the Pixel C USB monitor driver there was a possible OOB write due to a missing bounds check. This could have led to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1150025).

CVE-2019-15031: In the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform, a local user could have read vector registers of other users' processes via an interrupt. To exploit the vulnerability, a local user starts a transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin) and then accesses vector registers. At some point, the vector registers will be corrupted with the values from a different local Linux process, because MSR_TM_ACTIVE was misused in arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c (bnc#1149713).

CVE-2019-15030: In the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform, a local user could have read vector registers of other users' processes via a Facility Unavailable exception. To exploit the venerability, a local user starts a transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin) and then accesses vector registers. At some point, the vector registers will be corrupted with the values from a different local Linux process because of a missing arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c check (bnc#1149713).

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

CVE-2019-14821

Matt Delco reported a race condition in KVM's coalesced MMIO facility, which could lead to out-of-bounds access in the kernel. A local attacker permitted to access /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-14835

Peter Pi of Tencent Blade Team discovered a missing bounds check in vhost_net, the network back-end driver for KVM hosts, leading to a buffer overflow when the host begins live migration of a VM. An attacker in control of a VM could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation on the host.

CVE-2019-15117

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer reported a missing bounds check in the usb-audio driver's descriptor parsing code, leading to a buffer over-read. An attacker able to add USB devices could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2019-15118

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer reported unbounded recursion in the usb-audio driver's descriptor parsing code, leading to a stack overflow. An attacker able to add USB devices could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. On the amd64 architecture this is mitigated by a guard page on the kernel stack, so that it is only possible to cause a crash.

CVE-2019-15902

Brad Spengler reported that a backporting error reintroduced a spectre-v1 vulnerability in the ptrace subsystem in the ptrace_get_debugreg() function.

Two     consecutive ioctls can trigger the bug: the first one     should set the drive geometry with .sect and .rate     values that make F_SECT_PER_TRACK be zero. Next, the     floppy format operation should be called. It can be     triggered by an unprivileged local user even when a     floppy disk has not been inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates     the floppy device by default.(CVE-2019-14284)In the     Linux kernel through 5.2.1 on the powerpc platform,     when hardware transactional memory is disabled, a local     user can cause a denial of service (TM Bad Thing     exception and system crash) via a sigreturn() system     call that sends a crafted signal frame.
