| Description: | The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 3 kernel was updated to fix thefollowing severe security issues: * CVE-2014-1737: The raw_cmd_copyin function in drivers/block/floppy.cin the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly handle errorconditions during processing of an FDRAWCMD ioctl call, which allows localusers to trigger kfree operations and gain privileges by leveraging writeaccess to a /dev/fd device. (bnc#875798) * CVE-2014-1738: The raw_cmd_copyout function indrivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does notproperly restrict access to certain pointers during processing of anFDRAWCMD ioctl call, which allows local users to obtain sensitiveinformation 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 inthe Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage tty driver accessin the "LECHO & !OPOST" case, which allows local users to cause a denialof service (memory corruption and system crash) or gain privileges bytriggering a race condition involving read and write operations with longstrings.
