SUSE Security Update: Security update for Linux Kernel ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2014:0667-1 Rating: important References: #875690 #875798 Cross-References: CVE-2014-0196 CVE-2014-1737 CVE-2014-1738 Affected Products: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 for VMware SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 11 SP3 SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP3 SLE 11 SERVER Unsupported Extras ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that fixes three vulnerabilities is now available. It includes one version update. Description: The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 3 kernel was updated to fix the following severe security issues: * CVE-2014-1737: The raw_cmd_copyin function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly handle error conditions during processing of an FDRAWCMD ioctl call, which allows local users to trigger kfree operations and gain privileges by leveraging write access to a /dev/fd device. (bnc#875798) * CVE-2014-1738: The raw_cmd_copyout function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly restrict access to certain pointers during processing of an FDRAWCMD ioctl call, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by leveraging write access to a /dev/fd device. (bnc#875798) * CVE-2014-0196: The n_tty_write function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage tty driver access in the "LECHO & !OPOST" case, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or gain privileges by triggering a race condition involving read and write operations with long strings. (bnc#875690) Security Issues references: * CVE-2014-0196 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0196 * CVE-2014-1737 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-1737 * CVE-2014-1738 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-1738 Indications: Everyone using the Linux Kernel on x86_64 architecture should update.
