The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP4 Azure kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2020-2732: Fixed an issue affecting Intel CPUs where an L2 guest may trick the L0 hypervisor into accessing sensitive L1 resources (bsc#1163971).

CVE-2020-8992: An issue was discovered in ext4_protect_reserved_inode in fs/ext4/block_validity.c that allowed attackers to cause a soft lockup via a crafted journal size (bnc#1164069).

CVE-2020-8648: There was a use-after-free vulnerability in the n_tty_receive_buf_common function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c (bnc#1162928).

CVE-2020-8428: There was a use-after-free bug in fs/namei.c, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel memory (bnc#1162109).

CVE-2020-7053: There was a use-after-free (write) in the i915_ppgtt_close function in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c (bnc#1160966).

CVE-2019-19045: A memory leak in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/fpga/conn.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mlx5_vector2eqn() failures (bnc#1161522).

CVE-2019-16994: A memory leak existed in sit_init_net() in net/ipv6/sit.c which might have caused denial of service (bnc#1161523).

CVE-2019-19054: A memory leak in the cx23888_ir_probe() function in drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23888-ir.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering kfifo_alloc() failures (bnc#1161518).

CVE-2019-14896: A heap overflow was found in the add_ie_rates() function of the Marvell Wifi Driver (bsc#1157157).

CVE-2019-14897: A stack overflow was found in the lbs_ibss_join_existing() function of the Marvell Wifi Driver (bsc#1157155).

CVE-2019-19318: Mounting a crafted btrfs image twice could have caused a use-after-free (bnc#1158026).

CVE-2019-19036: An issue discovered in btrfs_root_node in fs/btrfs/ctree.c allowed a NULL pointer dereference because rcu_dereference(root->node) can be zero (bnc#1157692).

CVE-2019-14615: An information disclosure vulnerability existed due to insufficient control flow in certain data structures for some Intel(R) Processors (bnc#1160195).

CVE-2019-19965: There was a NULL pointer dereference in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_discover.c because of mishandling of port disconnection during discovery, related to a PHY down race condition (bnc#1159911).

CVE-2019-20095: Fixed a memory leak and denial of service in mwifiex_tm_cmd in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c, where some error-handling cases did not free allocated hostcmd memory (bnc#1159909).

CVE-2019-20054: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in drop_sysctl_table() in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c related to put_links (bnc#1159910).

CVE-2019-20096: Fixed a memory leak in __feat_register_sp() in net/dccp/feat.c, which may cause denial of service (bnc#1159908).

CVE-2019-19966: Fixed a use-after-free in cpia2_exit() in drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_v4l.c that will cause denial of service (bnc#1159841).

CVE-2019-19447: Mounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image, performing some operations, and unmounting could have led to a use-after-free in fs/ext4/super.c (bnc#1158819).

CVE-2019-19319: A setxattr operation, after a mount of a crafted ext4 image, could cause a slab-out-of-bounds write access because of an ext4_xattr_set_entry use-after-free in fs/ext4/xattr.c when a large old_size value is used in a memset call (bnc#1158021).

CVE-2019-19767: The Linux kernel mishandled ext4_expand_extra_isize, as demonstrated by use-after-free errors in __ext4_expand_extra_isize and ext4_xattr_set_entry, related to fs/ext4/inode.c and fs/ext4/super.c (bnc#1159297).

CVE-2019-18808: A memory leak in the ccp_run_sha_cmd() in drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-ops.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) (bnc#1156259).

CVE-2019-19066: A memory leak in the bfad_im_get_stats() in drivers/scsi/bfa/bfad_attr.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering bfa_port_get_stats() failures (bnc#1157303).
