Title of the patch: Security update for the Linux Kernel

Description of the patch: The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2018-1068: Fixed flaw in the implementation of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This allowed a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited range of kernel memory (bnc#1085107). - CVE-2017-18221: The __munlock_pagevec function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NR_MLOCK accounting corruption) via crafted use of mlockall and munlockall system calls (bnc#1084323). - CVE-2018-1066: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in fs/cifs/cifsencrypt.c:setup_ntlmv2_rsp() that allowed an attacker controlling a CIFS server to kernel panic a client that has this server mounted, because an empty TargetInfo field in an NTLMSSP setup negotiation response was mishandled during session recovery (bnc#1083640). - CVE-2017-13166: Prevent elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel v4l2 video driver (bnc#1072865). - CVE-2017-16911: The vhci_hcd driver allowed local attackers to disclose kernel memory addresses. Successful exploitation required that a USB device was attached over IP (bnc#1078674). - CVE-2017-15299: The KEYS subsystem mishandled use of add_key for a key that already exists but is uninstantiated, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted system call (bnc#1063416). - CVE-2017-18208: The madvise_willneed function kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping (bnc#1083494). - CVE-2018-7566: The ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write happens and the pool is empty. A user could have reset the pool size manually via ioctl concurrently, which may have lead UAF or out-of-bound access (bsc#1083483). - CVE-2017-18204: The ocfs2_setattr function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via DIO requests (bnc#1083244). - CVE-2017-16644: The hdpvr_probe function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (improper error handling and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1067118). - CVE-2018-6927: The futex_requeue function allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a negative wake or requeue value (bnc#1080757). - CVE-2017-16914: The 'stub_send_ret_submit()' function allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a specially crafted USB over IP packet (bnc#1078669). - CVE-2016-7915: The hid_input_field function allowed physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) by connecting a device (bnc#1010470). - CVE-2017-12190: The bio_map_user_iov and bio_unmap_user functions did unbalanced refcounting when a SCSI I/O vector had small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page. The bio_add_pc_page function merged them into one, but the page reference was never dropped. This caused a memory leak and possible system lockup (exploitable against the host OS by a guest OS user, if a SCSI disk is passed through to a virtual machine) due to an out-of-memory condition (bnc#1062568). - CVE-2017-16912: The 'get_pipe()' function allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a specially crafted USB over IP packet (bnc#1078673). - CVE-2017-16913: The 'stub_recv_cmd_submit()' function when handling CMD_SUBMIT packets allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (arbitrary memory allocation) via a specially crafted USB over IP packet (bnc#1078672). - CVE-2018-5332: The rds_message_alloc_sgs() function did not validate a value that is used during DMA page allocation, leading to a heap-based out-of-bounds write (related to the rds_rdma_extra_size function in net/rds/rdma.c) (bnc#1075621). - CVE-2018-5333: The rds_cmsg_atomic function in net/rds/rdma.c mishandled cases where page pinning fails or an invalid address is supplied, leading to an rds_atomic_free_op NULL pointer dereference (bnc#1075617). - CVE-2017-18017: The tcpmss_mangle_packet function allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action (bnc#1074488). The following non-security bugs were fixed: - KEYS: do not let add_key() update an uninstantiated key (bnc#1063416). - KEYS: fix writing past end of user-supplied buffer in keyring_read() (bsc#1066001). - KEYS: return full count in keyring_read() if buffer is too small (bsc#1066001). - NFS: Add a cond_resched() to nfs_commit_release_pages() (bsc#1077779). - btrfs: qgroup: move noisy underflow warning to debugging build (bsc#1055755 and bsc#1080287). - ipc/msg: introduce msgctl(MSG_STAT_ANY) (bsc#1072689). - ipc/sem: introduce semctl(SEM_STAT_ANY) (bsc#1072689). - ipc/shm: introduce shmctl(SHM_STAT_ANY) (bsc#1072689). - x86/kaiser: use trampoline stack for kernel entry (bsc#1077560) - leds: do not overflow sysfs buffer in led_trigger_show (bsc#1080464). - livepatch: __kgr_shadow_get_or_alloc() is local to shadow.c. Shadow variables support (bsc#1082299). - livepatch: introduce shadow variable API. Shadow variables support (bsc#1082299) - media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: add missing VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF (bnc#1012382). - media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: avoid sizeof(type) (bnc#1012382). - media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: copy clip list in put_v4l2_window32 (bnc#1012382). - media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: copy m.userptr in put_v4l2_plane32 (bnc#1012382). - media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: do not copy back the result for certain errors (bnc#1012382). - media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: drop pr_info for unknown buffer type (bnc#1012382). - media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: fix the indentation (bnc#1012382). - media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: move 'helper' functions to __get/put_v4l2_format32 (bnc#1012382). - media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32: Copy v4l2_window->global_alpha (bnc#1012382). - media: v4l2-ioctl.c: do not copy back the result for -ENOTTY (bnc#1012382). - netfilter: ebtables: CONFIG_COMPAT: do not trust userland offsets (bsc#1085107). - netfilter: ebtables: fix erroneous reject of last rule (bsc#1085107). - packet: only call dev_add_pack() on freshly allocated fanout instances - pipe: cap initial pipe capacity according to pipe-max-size limit (bsc#1045330). - powerpc/64s: Improve RFI L1-D cache flush fallback (bsc#1068032, bsc#1077182). - powerpc/numa: Invalidate numa_cpu_lookup_table on cpu remove (bsc#1081512). - powerpc/powernv: Support firmware disable of RFI flush (bsc#1068032, bsc#1077182). - powerpc/powernv: Support firmware disable of RFI flush (bsc#1068032, bsc#1077182). - powerpc/pseries: Support firmware disable of RFI flush (bsc#1068032, bsc#1077182). - powerpc/pseries: Support firmware disable of RFI flush (bsc#1068032, bsc#1077182). - rfi-flush: Move the logic to avoid a redo into the debugfs code (bsc#1068032, bsc#1077182). - rfi-flush: Switch to new linear fallback flush (bsc#1068032, bsc#1077182).
