Summary

Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 36 for SLE 12)

Details

This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.61-52_136 fixes several issues.

The following security issues were fixed:

CVE-2018-3646: Local attackers in virtualized guest systems could use speculative code patterns on hyperthreaded processors to read data present in the L1 Datacache used by other hyperthreads on the same CPU core, potentially leaking sensitive data, even from other virtual machines or the host system (bsc#1099306).
CVE-2018-10853: A flaw was found in kvm. In which certain instructions such as sgdt/sidt call segmentedwritestd didn't propagate access correctly. As such, during userspace induced exception, the guest can incorrectly assume that the exception happened in the kernel and panic. (bsc#1097108).
