Synopsis

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

Description

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

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2020-25705: A flaw in the way reply ICMP packets are limited in was found that allowed to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw allowed an off-path remote user to effectively bypassing source port UDP randomization. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and possibly integrity, because software and services that rely on UDP source port randomization (like DNS) are indirectly affected as well. Kernel versions may be vulnerable to this issue (bsc#1175721, bsc#1178782).

CVE-2020-8694: Insufficient access control for some Intel(R) Processors may have allowed an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access (bsc#1170415).

CVE-2020-25704: Fixed a memory leak in perf_event_parse_addr_filter() (bsc#1178393).

CVE-2020-25668: Fixed a use-after-free in con_font_op() (bsc#1178123).

CVE-2020-25656: Fixed a concurrency use-after-free in vt_do_kdgkb_ioctl (bnc#1177766).

CVE-2020-25285: Fixed a race condition between hugetlb sysctl handlers in mm/hugetlb.c (bnc#1176485).

CVE-2020-0430: Fixed an OOB read in skb_headlen of /include/linux/skbuff.h (bnc#1176723).

CVE-2020-14351: Fixed a race in the perf_mmap_close() function (bsc#1177086).

CVE-2020-16120: Fixed permission check to open real file when using overlayfs. It was possible to have a file not readable by an unprivileged user be copied to a mountpoint controlled by that user and then be able to access the file (bsc#1177470).

CVE-2020-12351: Fixed a type confusion while processing AMP packets aka 'BleedingTooth' aka 'BadKarma' (bsc#1177724).

CVE-2020-12352: Fixed an information leak when processing certain AMP packets aka 'BleedingTooth' (bsc#1177725).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
