The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed: - Unprivileged BPF has been disabled by default to reduce attack surface as too many security issues have happened in the past You can reenable via systemctl setting /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 0. The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2021-0941: In bpf_skb_change_head of filter.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a use after free.

Only privileged local users could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service . - CVE-2021-3732: Mounting overlayfs inside an unprivileged user namespace can reveal files . - CVE-2021-3753: Fixed race out-of-bounds in virtual terminal handling . - CVE-2021-3759: Unaccounted ipc objects in Linux kernel could have lead to breaking memcg limits and DoS attacks . - CVE-2021-38160: Data corruption or loss could be triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a buf-len value exceeding the buffer size in drivers/char/virtio_console.c - CVE-2021-38198: arch/x86/kvm/mmu/paging_tmpl.h incorrectly computes the access permissions of a shadow page, leading to a missing guest protection page fault . - CVE-2021-38204: drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service by removing a MAX-3421 USB device in certain situations . - CVE-2021-34556: Fixed side-channel attack via a Speculative Store Bypass via unprivileged BPF program that could have obtain sensitive information from kernel memory . - CVE-2021-35477: Fixed BPF stack frame pointer which could have been abused to disclose content of arbitrary kernel memory . - CVE-2020-12770: Fixed sg_remove_request call in a certain failure cases . - CVE-2021-3659: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in llsec_key_alloc in net/mac802154/llsec.c . - CVE-2021-22543: Fixed improper handling of VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP vmas in KVM, which could bypass RO checks and can lead to pages being freed while still accessible by the VMM and guest. This allowed users with the ability to start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory and can result in local privilege escalation . - CVE-2021-37576: Fixed an issue on the powerpc platform, where a KVM guest OS user could cause host OS memory corruption via rtas_args.nargs . - CVE-2020-0429: In l2tp_session_delete and related functions of l2tp_core.c, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free.
