This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.140-94_42 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed:
CVE-2018-5390: Prevent very expensive calls to tcpcollapseofoqueue() and tcppruneofoqueue() for every incoming TCP packet which can lead to a denial of service (bsc#1102682).
CVE-2018-10938: Fixed an infinite loop in the cipsov4optptr() function leading to a denial-of-service via crafted network packets (bsc#1106191).
CVE-2018-10902: It was found that the raw midi kernel driver did not protect against concurrent access which lead to a double realloc (double free) in sndrawmidiinputparams() and sndrawmidioutputstatus(), allowing a malicious local attacker to use this for privilege escalation (bsc#1105323).
CVE-2018-3646: Fixed unauthorized disclosure of information residing in the L1 data cache on systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and address translations (bsc#1099306).
