______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that solves 6 vulnerabilities and has 30 fixes is
   now available.

Description:



   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various
   security and bugfixes.

   The following security bugs were fixed:

   CVE-2018-12207: Untrusted virtual machines on Intel CPUs could exploit a
   race condition in the Instruction Fetch Unit of the Intel CPU to cause a
   Machine Exception during Page Size Change, causing the CPU core to be
   non-functional.

   The Linux Kernel KVM hypervisor was adjusted to avoid page size changes in
   executable pages by splitting / merging huge pages into small pages as
   needed. More information can be found on
   https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7023735

   CVE-2019-11135: Aborting an asynchronous TSX operation on Intel CPUs with
   Transactional Memory support could be used to facilitate sidechannel
   information leaks out of microarchitectural buffers, similar to the
   previously described "Microarchitectural Data Sampling" attack.

   The Linux kernel was supplemented with the option to disable TSX operation
   altogether (requiring CPU Microcode updates on older systems) and better
   flushing of microarchitectural buffers (VERW).

   The set of options available is described in our TID at
   https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7024251
