SUSE Security Update: Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 19 for SLE 12 SP3)
______________________________________________________________________________
Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2018:3268-1
Rating: important
References: #1107832
Cross-References: CVE-2018-14633
Affected Products:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Live Patching 12-SP3
______________________________________________________________________________
An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.
Description:
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.156-94_61 fixes one issue.
The following security issue was fixed:
- CVE-2018-14633: A security flaw was found in the
chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in a way an
authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An
unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and
smash up to 17 bytes of the stack. The attack requires the iSCSI target
to be enabled on the victim host. Depending on how the target's code was
built (i.e. depending on a compiler, compile flags and hardware
architecture) an attack may lead to a system crash and thus to a
denial-of-service or possibly to a non-authorized access to data
exported by an iSCSI target. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege
escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is highly
unlikely. (bsc#1107832).
Patch Instructions:
To install this SUSE Security Update use the SUSE recommended installation methods
like YaST online_update or "zypper patch".
Alternatively you can run the command listed for your product:
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Live Patching 12-SP3:
zypper in -t patch SUSE-SLE-Live-Patching-12-SP3-2018-2362=1 SUSE-SLE-Live-Patching-12-SP3-2018-2363=1

SUSE Security Update: Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 4 for SLE 15)
______________________________________________________________________________
Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2018:3272-1
Rating: important
References: #1107832 #1110233
Cross-References: CVE-2018-14633 CVE-2018-17182
Affected Products:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Live Patching 15
______________________________________________________________________________
An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.
Description:
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-25_16 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2018-17182: The vmacache_flush_all function in mm/vmacache.c
mishandled sequence number overflows. An attacker can trigger a
use-after-free (and possibly gain privileges) via certain thread
creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and dereference operations
(bsc#1110233).
- CVE-2018-14633: A security flaw was found in the
chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in a way an
authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An
unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and
smash up to 17 bytes of the stack. The attack requires the iSCSI target

exported by an iSCSI target. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege
