An update that solves 13 vulnerabilities and has 157 fixes is now available
Summary
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2020-8834: KVM on Power8 processors had a conflicting use of HSTATE_HOST_R1 to store r1 state in kvmppc_hv_entry plus in kvmppc_{save,restore}_tm, leading to a stack corruption. Because of this, an attacker with the ability to run code in kernel space of a guest VM can cause the host kernel to panic (bnc#1168276). - CVE-2020-11494: An issue was discovered in slc_bump in drivers/net/can/slcan.c, which allowed attackers to read uninitialized can_frame data, potentially containing sensitive information from kernel stack memory, if the configuration lacks CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL (bnc#1168424). - CVE-2020-10942: In get_raw_socket in drivers/vhost/net.c lacks
