______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that fixes four vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:


   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12-SP2 kernel was updated receive various
   security and bugfixes.


   The following security bugs were fixed:

   - CVE-2022-3303: Fixed a race condition in the sound subsystem due to
     improper locking (bnc#1203769).
   - CVE-2022-41218: Fixed an use-after-free caused by refcount races in
     drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c (bnc#1202960).
   - CVE-2022-3239: Fixed an use-after-free in the video4linux driver that
     could lead a local user to able to crash the system or escalate their
     privileges (bnc#1203552).
   - CVE-2022-2503: Fixed a vulnerability that allowed root to bypass LoadPin
     and load untrusted and unverified kernel modules and firmware
     (bnc#1202677).

   The following non-security bugs were fixed:

   - x86/bugs: Reenable retbleed=off While for older kernels the return
     thunks are statically built in and cannot be dynamically patched out,
     retbleed=off should still be possible to do so that the mitigation can
     still be disabled on Intel who do not use the return thunks but IBRS.
