Trying to get some feedback on whether or not the redhat suggested mitigation for this CVE will work the same on SLES 11sp4 and SLES 12sp2, I think it should, but would like some confirmation or feedback. I tried searching but found no specific references to SLES.
echo “install n_hdlc /bin/true” >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-n_hdlc.conf
reboot
Thanks,
Matt
Hi
There is work in progress for this;
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1027565
Add a comment to ask if the fix will be backported to SLE 11 SP4.
FYI, you can search for CVE’s in bugzilla

I think this should also work with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
FYI updates for currently supported releases are either in QA or planned

Hey,
I know they are working on new releases to address this, but due to my patch schedule I might need the mitigation unless the updates come out very soon…

Updated kernel packages are now available for SLES12 SP2 but not
yet for SLES11 SP4.
