Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

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

The following security bugs were fixed :

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-2019-16746: An issue was discovered in net/wireless/nl80211.c. It did not check the length of variable elements in a beacon head, leading to a buffer overflow (bnc#1152107).

CVE-2020-8428: There was a use-after-free bug in fs/namei.c, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka CID-d0cb50185ae9 (bnc#1162109).

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, aka CID-c8c2a057fdc7 (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, aka CID-07f12b26e21a (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, aka CID-a7b2df76b42b (bnc#1161518).

CVE-2019-14896: A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Marvell WiFi driver. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service (system crash) or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when the lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA connects to an AP (bnc#1157157).

CVE-2019-14897: A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the Marvell WiFi driver. An attacker is able to cause a denial of service (system crash) or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when a STA works in IBSS mode (allows connecting stations together without the use of an AP) and connects to another STA (bnc#1157155).

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, aka CID-7dc40713618c (bnc#1160966).

CVE-2019-19927: A slab-out-of-bounds read access could have been caused when mounting a crafted f2fs filesystem image and performing some operations on it, in drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc.c (bnc#1160147).

CVE-2019-20095: Several memory leaks were found in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c, aka CID-003b686ace82 (bnc#1159909).

CVE-2019-20054: There was a NULL pointer dereference in drop_sysctl_table() in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c, related to put_links, aka CID-23da9588037e (bnc#1159910).

CVE-2019-20096: There was a memory leak in __feat_register_sp() in net/dccp/feat.c, aka CID-1d3ff0950e2b (bnc#1159908).

CVE-2019-19966: There was a use-after-free in cpia2_exit() in drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_v4l.c that could have caused a denial of service, aka CID-dea37a972655 (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 slab-out-of-bounds write access could have occured when setxattr was called after mounting of a specially crafted ext4 image (bnc#1158021).

CVE-2019-19767: There were multiple 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, aka CID-4ea99936a163 (bnc#1159297).

CVE-2019-18808: A memory leak in drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-ops.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-128c66429247 (bnc#1156259).

CVE-2019-19066: A memory leak in drivers/scsi/bfa/bfad_attr.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-0e62395da2bd (bnc#1157303).
