Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.4.2017.1617.1
Category:SuSE Local Security Checks
Title:SUSE: Security Advisory (SUSE-SU-2017:1617-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'Linux Kernel' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2017:1617-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'Linux Kernel' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2017:1617-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.


The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2017-1000364: The default stack guard page was too small and could be 'jumped over' by userland programs using
more than one page of stack in functions and so lead to memory corruption. This update extends the stack guard page
to 1 MB (for 4k pages) and 16 MB (for 64k pages) to reduce this attack vector. This is not a kernel bugfix, but a
hardening measure against this kind of userland attack.(bsc#1039348)

The following non-security bugs were fixed:

- There was a load failure in the sha-mb encryption implementation (bsc#1037384).

Affected Software/OS:
'Linux Kernel' package(s) on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12-SP2, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12-SP2, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Raspberry Pi 12-SP2, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12-SP2.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
