Summary

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2018-3665: Prevent disclosure of FPU registers (including XMM and AVX registers) between processes. These registers might contain encryption keys when doing SSE accelerated AES enc/decryption (bsc#1087086) - CVE-2018-5848: In the function wmi_set_ie(), the length validation code did not handle unsigned integer overflow properly. As a result, a large value of the 'ie_len' argument could have caused a buffer overflow (bnc#1097356) - CVE-2018-1000204: Prevent infoleak caused by incorrect handling of the SG_IO ioctl (bsc#1096728) - CVE-2017-13305: Prevent information disclosure vulnerability in encrypted-keys (bsc#1094353)
