"This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.61-52_80 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-13166: An elevation of privilege vulnerability
    in the kernel v4l2 video driver was fixed.
    (bsc#1085447).

  - CVE-2018-8897: A statement in the System Programming
    Guide of the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software
    Developer's Manual (SDM) was mishandled in the
    development of some or all operating-system kernels,
    resulting in unexpected behavior for #DB exceptions that
    are deferred by MOV SS or POP SS, as demonstrated by
    (for example) privilege escalation in Windows, macOS,
    some Xen configurations, or FreeBSD, or a Linux kernel
    crash. The MOV to SS and POP SS instructions inhibit
    interrupts (including NMIs), data breakpoints, and
    single step trap exceptions until the instruction
    boundary following the next instruction (SDM Vol. 3A;
    section 6.8.3). (The inhibited data breakpoints are
    those on memory accessed by the MOV to SS or POP to SS
    instruction itself.) Note that debug exceptions are not
    inhibited by the interrupt enable (EFLAGS.IF) system
    flag (SDM Vol. 3A; section 2.3). If the instruction
    following the MOV to SS or POP to SS instruction is an
    instruction like SYSCALL, SYSENTER, INT 3, etc. that
    transfers control to the operating system at CPL is
    complete. OS kernels may not expect this order of events
    and may therefore experience unexpected behavior when it
    occurs (bsc#1090368).

  - CVE-2018-8781: The udl_fb_mmap function in
    drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c had an integer-overflow
    vulnerability allowing local users with access to the
    udldrmfb driver to obtain full read and write
    permissions on kernel physical pages, resulting in a
    code execution in kernel space (bsc#1090646).

  - bsc#1083125: Fixed kgraft: small race in reversion code

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
