Title:openSUSE: Security Advisory for kernel (openSUSE-SU-2018:2242-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel'; package(s) announced via the openSUSE-SU-2018:2242-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel'
package(s) announced via the openSUSE-SU-2018:2242-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The openSUSE Leap 15.0 kernel was updated
to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2018-5390 aka 'SegmentSmack': A remote attacker even with relatively
low bandwidth could have caused lots of CPU usage by triggering the
worst case scenario during IP and/or TCP fragment reassembly
(bsc#1102340)

- CVE-2017-18344: The timer_create syscall implementation in
kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the Linux kernel doesn't properly validate
the sigevent- sigev_notify field, which leads to out-of-bounds access in
the show_timer function (called when /proc/$PID/timers is read). This
allowed userspace applications to read arbitrary kernel memory (on a
kernel built with CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE)
(bnc#1102851).

The following non-security bugs were fixed:

- acpi, APEI, EINJ: Subtract any matching Register Region from Trigger
resources (bsc#1051510).

- acpi/nfit: fix cmd_rc for acpi_nfit_ctl to always return a value
(bsc#1051510).

- acpi, nfit: Fix scrub idle detection (bsc#1094119).

- acpi / processor: Finish making acpi_processor_ppc_has_changed() void
(bsc#1051510).

- ahci: Disable LPM on Lenovo 50 series laptops with a too old BIOS
(bsc#1051510).

- alsa: emu10k1: add error handling for snd_ctl_add (bsc#1051510).

- alsa: emu10k1: Rate-limit error messages about page errors (bsc#1051510).

- alsa: fm801: add error handling for snd_ctl_add (bsc#1051510).

- alsa: hda: add mute led support for HP ProBook 455 G5 (bsc#1051510).

- alsa: hda - Handle pm failure during hotplug (bsc#1051510).

- alsa: hda/realtek - Add Panasonic CF-SZ6 headset jack quirk
(bsc#1051510).

- alsa: hda/realtek - two more lenovo models need fixup of MIC_LOCATION
(bsc#1051510).

- alsa: hda/realtek - Yet another Clevo P950 quirk entry (bsc#1101143).

- alsa: rawmidi: Change resized buffers atomically (bsc#1051510).

- alsa: usb-audio: Apply rate limit to warning messages in URB complete
callback (bsc#1051510).

- alx: take rtnl before calling __alx_open from resume (bsc#1051510).

- arm64: Correct type for PUD macros (bsc#1103723).

- arm64: Disable unhandled signal log messages by default (bsc#1103724).

- arm64: kpti: Use early_param for kpti= command-line option (bsc#1103220).

- arm64: KVM: fix VTTBR_BADDR_MASK BUG_ON off-by-one (bsc#1103725).

- arm64: mm: Fix set_memory_valid() declaration (bsc#1103726).

- arm64: perf: correct PMUVer probing (bsc#1103727).

- arm64: ptrace: Avoid setting compat FPR to garbage if get_user fails
(bsc#1103728).
