{"id":"SUSE-SU-2018:2940-1","summary":"Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 1 for SLE 15)","details":"This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-25_3 fixes several issues.\n\nThe following security issues were fixed:\n\n- CVE-2018-10938: It was found that a crafted network packet sent remotely by an attacker may force the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the cipso_v4_optptr() function in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c leading to a denial-of-service. A certain non-default configuration of LSM (Linux Security Module) and NetLabel should be set up on a system an attacker could leverage this flaw.\n- CVE-2018-10902: It was found that the raw midi kernel driver did not protect against concurrent access which lead to a double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status(), allowing a malicious local attacker to use this for privilege escalation (bsc#1105323).\n","modified":"2026-03-11T06:57:01.081052Z","published":"2018-09-28T11:14:36Z","related":["CVE-2018-10902","CVE-2018-10938"],"upstream":["CVE-2018-10902","CVE-2018-10938"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.suse.com/support/update/announcement/2018/suse-su-20182940-1/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/1105323"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/1106191"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2018-10902"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2018-10938"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel-livepatch-SLE15_Update_0","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Live Patching 15","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/kernel-livepatch-SLE15_Update_0&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Live%20Patching%2015"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4-10.2"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-23-default":"4-10.2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2018:2940-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"kernel-livepatch-SLE15_Update_1","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Live Patching 15","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/kernel-livepatch-SLE15_Update_1&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Live%20Patching%2015"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4-2.1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-25_3-default":"4-2.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2018:2940-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"kernel-livepatch-SLE15_Update_0","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Live Patching 15","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/kernel-livepatch-SLE15_Update_0&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Live%20Patching%2015"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4-10.2"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-23-default":"4-10.2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2018:2940-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"kernel-livepatch-SLE15_Update_1","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Live Patching 15","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/kernel-livepatch-SLE15_Update_1&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Live%20Patching%2015"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4-2.1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-25_3-default":"4-2.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2018:2940-1.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
