Summary
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 Realtime kernel was updated to 3.12.58 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2015-7566: 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#961512). - CVE-2015-8550: Xen, when used on a system providing PV backends, allowed local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) or gain privileges by writing to memory shared between the frontend and backend, aka a double fetch vulnerability (bsc#957988).
