| Beschreibung: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
The openSUSE 13.2 kernel was updated to fix various bugs and security
issues.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2016-1583: Prevent the usage of mmap when the lower file system does
not allow it. This could have lead to local privilege escalation when
ecryptfs-utils was installed and /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private was setuid
(bsc#983143).
- CVE-2016-4913: The get_rock_ridge_filename function in fs/isofs/rock.c
in the Linux kernel mishandles NM (aka alternate name) entries
containing \0 characters, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive
information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact
via a crafted isofs filesystem (bnc#980725).
- CVE-2016-4580: The x25_negotiate_facilities function in
net/x25/x25_facilities.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize
a certain data structure, which allowed attackers to obtain sensitive
information from kernel stack memory via an X.25 Call Request
(bnc#981267).
- CVE-2016-0758: Tags with indefinite length could have corrupted pointers
in asn1_find_indefinite_length (bsc#979867).
- CVE-2016-2053: The asn1_ber_decoder function in lib/asn1_decoder.c in
the Linux kernel allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (panic)
via an ASN.1 BER file that lacks a public key, leading to mishandling by
the public_key_verify_signature function in
crypto/asymmetric_keys/public_key.c (bnc#963762).
- CVE-2016-2187: The gtco_probe function in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in
the Linux kernel allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a
denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a
crafted endpoints value in a USB device descriptor (bnc#971919 971944).
- CVE-2016-4482: The proc_connectinfo function in drivers/usb/core/devio.c
in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain data structure, which
allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack
memory via a crafted USBDEVFS_CONNECTINFO ioctl call (bnc#978401
bsc#978445).
- CVE-2016-4565: The InfiniBand (aka IB) stack in the Linux kernel
incorrectly relies on the write system call, which allowed local users
to cause a denial of service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly
have unspecified other impact via a uAPI interface (bnc#979548
bsc#980363).
- CVE-2016-3672: The arch_pick_mmap_layout function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c
in the Linux kernel did not properly randomize the legacy base address,
which made it easier for local users to defeat the intended restrictions
on the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE flag, and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism
for a setuid or ...
