Summary
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 RT kernel was updated to 3.12.67 to receive various security and bugfixes. This feature was added: - fate#320805: Execute in place (XIP) support for the ext2 filesystem. The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2016-2069: Race condition in arch/x86/mm/tlb.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges by triggering access to a paging structure by a different CPU (bnc#963767). - CVE-2016-4998: The IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt implementation in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by leveraging in-container root access to provide a crafted offset value that leads to crossing a ruleset blob boundary (bnc#986362).
