______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that solves 17 vulnerabilities and has 25 fixes
   is now available.

Description:


   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 Realtime kernel was updated to receive
   various security and bugfixes.

   The following security bugs were fixed:
   - CVE-2015-1339: Memory leak in the cuse_channel_release function in
     fs/fuse/cuse.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial
     of service (memory consumption) or possibly have unspecified other
      impact by opening /dev/cuse many times (bnc#969356).
   - CVE-2015-7566: The clie_5_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/visor.c
     in the Linux kernel allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a
     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or
     possibly have unspecified other impact by inserting a USB device that
     lacks a bulk-out endpoint (bnc#961512).
   - CVE-2015-8551: The PCI backend driver in Xen, when running on an x86
     system and using Linux 3.1.x through 4.3.x as the driver domain, allowed
     local guest administrators to hit BUG conditions and cause a denial of
     service (NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash) by leveraging a
     system with access to a passed-through MSI or MSI-X capable physical PCI
     device and a crafted sequence of XEN_PCI_OP_* operations, aka "Linux
     pciback missing sanity checks (bnc#957990).
   - CVE-2015-8552: The PCI backend driver in Xen, when running on an x86
     system and using Linux 3.1.x through 4.3.x as the driver domain, allowed
     local guest administrators to generate a continuous stream
     of WARN messages and cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by
      leveraging a system with access to a passed-through MSI or MSI-X
      capable physical PCI device and XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msi operations, aka
      "Linux pciback missing sanity checks (bnc#957990).
   - CVE-2015-8816: The hub_activate function in drivers/usb/core/hub.c in
     the Linux kernel did not properly maintain a hub-interface data
     structure, which allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a
     denial of service (invalid memory access and system crash) or possibly
     have unspecified
     other impact by unplugging a USB hub device (bnc#968010).
   - CVE-2016-2143: The fork implementation in the Linux kernel on s390
     platforms mishandles the case of four page-table levels, which allowed
     local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have
     unspecified other impact via a crafted application, related to
     arch/s390/include/asm/mmu_context.h and arch/s390/include/asm/pgalloc.h
     (bnc#970504).
   - CVE-2016-2184: The create_fixed_stream_quirk function in
     sound/usb/quirks.c in the snd-usb-audio driver in the Linux kernel
     allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service
     (NULL pointer dereference or double free, and system crash) via a
     crafted endpoints value in a USB device descriptor (bnc#971125).
   - CVE-2016-2185: The ati_remote2_probe function in
     drivers/input/misc/ati_remote2.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#971124).
   - CVE-2016-2186: The powermate_probe function in
     drivers/input/misc/powermate.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#970958).
   - CVE-2016-2188: The iowarrior_probe function in
     drivers/usb/misc/iowarrior.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#970956).
   - CVE-2016-2782: The treo_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/visor.c in
     the Linux kernel allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a
     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or
     possibly have unspecified other impact by inserting a USB device that
     lacks a (1) bulk-in or (2) interrupt-in endpoint (bnc#968670).
   - CVE-2016-2847: fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel did not limit the amount
     of unread data in pipes, which allowed local users to cause a denial of
      service (memory consumption) by creating many pipes with non-default
      sizes (bnc#970948).
   - CVE-2016-3137: drivers/usb/serial/cypress_m8.c in the Linux kernel
     allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service
     (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a USB device without
     both an interrupt-in and an interrupt-out endpoint descriptor, related
     to the cypress_generic_port_probe and cypress_open functions
     (bnc#970970).
   - CVE-2016-3138: The acm_probe function in drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c in
     the Linux kernel allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a
     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a USB
     device without both a control and a data endpoint descriptor
     (bnc#970911).
   - CVE-2016-3139: The wacom_probe function in
     drivers/input/tablet/wacom_sys.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#970909).
   - CVE-2016-3140: The digi_port_init function in
     drivers/usb/serial/digi_acceleport.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#970892).
   - CVE-2016-3156: The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel mishandles
     destruction of device objects, which allowed guest OS users to cause a
     denial of service (host OS networking outage) by arranging for a large
     number of IP addresses (bnc#971360).
