The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP 3 kernel was updated to fix two security
issues.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2016-9576: A use-after-free vulnerability in the SCSI generic driver
allows users with write access to /dev/sg* or /dev/bsg* to elevate their
privileges (bsc#1013604).
- CVE-2016-9794: A use-after-free vulnerability in the ALSA pcm layer
allowed local users to cause a denial of service, memory corruption or
possibly even to elevate their privileges (bsc#1013533).
