Affected Products:

  * SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing 12 SP2
  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2
  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 BCL 12-SP2

  
  
An update that solves 14 vulnerabilities and has two fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

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

The following security bugs were fixed:

  * CVE-2018-20784: Fixed a denial of service (infinite loop in
    update_blocked_averages) by mishandled leaf cfs_rq in kernel/sched/fair.c
    (bsc#1126703).
  * CVE-2018-3639: Fixed Speculative Store Bypass aka "Memory Disambiguation"
    (bsc#1087082).
  * CVE-2022-40982: Fixed transient execution attack called "Gather Data
    Sampling" (bsc#1206418).
  * CVE-2023-0459: Fixed information leak in __uaccess_begin_nospec
    (bsc#1211738).
  * CVE-2023-1637: Fixed vulnerability that could lead to unauthorized access to
    CPU memory after resuming CPU from suspend-to-RAM (bsc#1209779).
  * CVE-2023-20569: Fixed side channel attack ‘Inception’ or ‘RAS Poisoning’
    (bsc#1213287).
  * CVE-2023-20593: Fixed a ZenBleed issue in "Zen 2" CPUs that could allow an
    attacker to potentially access sensitive information (bsc#1213286).
  * CVE-2023-2985: Fixed an use-after-free vulnerability in hfsplus_put_super in
    fs/hfsplus/super.c that could allow a local user to cause a denial of
    service (bsc#1211867).
  * CVE-2023-3106: Fixed crash in XFRM_MSG_GETSA netlink handler (bsc#1213251).
  * CVE-2023-3268: Fixed an out of bounds memory access flaw in
    relay_file_read_start_pos in the relayfs (bsc#1212502).
  * CVE-2023-35001: Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access flaw in nft_byteorder
    that could allow a local attacker to escalate their privilege (bsc#1213059).
  * CVE-2023-3567: Fixed a use-after-free in vcs_read in
    drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c (bsc#1213167).
  * CVE-2023-3611: Fixed an out-of-bounds write in net/sched
    sch_qfq(bsc#1213585).
  * CVE-2023-3776: Fixed improper refcount update in cls_fw leads to use-after-
    free (bsc#1213588).

The following non-security bugs were fixed:

  * net/sched: sch_qfq: refactor parsing of netlink parameters (bsc#1213585).
  * ubi: Fix failure attaching when vid_hdr offset equals to (sub)page size
    (bsc#1210584).
  * ubi: ensure that VID header offset + VID header size <= alloc, size
    (bsc#1210584).
  * x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32 (git-fixes) No it's not git-fixes
    it's used to make sle12-sp2 compile with newer toolchain to make the life of
    all the poor souls maintaining this ancient kernel on their modern machines,
    a little bit easier....
