The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2018-3639: Information leaks using 'Memory Disambiguation' feature in modern CPUs were mitigated, aka 'Spectre Variant 4' (bnc#1087082).
A new boot commandline option was introduced, 'spec_store_bypass_disable', which can have following values:
- auto: Kernel detects whether your CPU model contains an implementation of Speculative Store Bypass and picks the most appropriate mitigation. - on: disable Speculative Store Bypass - off: enable Speculative Store Bypass - prctl: Control Speculative Store Bypass per thread via prctl. Speculative Store Bypass is enabled for a process by default. The state of the control is inherited on fork. - seccomp: Same as 'prctl' above, but all seccomp threads will disable SSB unless they explicitly opt out.
The default is 'seccomp', meaning programs need explicit opt-in into the mitigation.
Status can be queried via the /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_store_bypass file, containing:
- 'Vulnerable' - 'Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled' - 'Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl' - 'Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl and seccomp'
- CVE-2018-1000199: An address corruption flaw was discovered while modifying a h/w breakpoint via 'modify_user_hw_breakpoint' routine, an unprivileged user/process could use this flaw to crash the system kernel resulting in DoS OR to potentially escalate privileges on a the system. (bsc#1089895) - CVE-2018-10675: The do_get_mempolicy function in mm/mempolicy.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1091755). - CVE-2017-5715: The retpoline mitigation for Spectre v2 has been enabled also for 32bit x86. - CVE-2017-5753: Spectre v1 mitigations have been improved by the versions merged from the upstream kernel.
The following non-security bugs were fixed:
- Update config files. Set CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y for i386. - x86/espfix: Fix return stack in do_double_fault() (bsc#1085279). - xen-netfront: fix req_prod check to avoid RX hang when index wraps (bsc#1046610).
