Summary
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 Realtime kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. Following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2015-7509: Mounting a prepared ext2 filesystem as ext4 could lead to a local denial of service (crash) (bsc#956709). - CVE-2015-7799: The slhc_init function in drivers/net/slip/slhc.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure that certain slot numbers are valid, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted PPPIOCSMAXCID ioctl call (bnc#949936). - CVE-2015-8104: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS panic or hang) by triggering many #DB (aka Debug) exceptions, related to svm.c (bnc#954404).
