The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed :
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
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
Other security fixes :
CVE-2019-0154: Fixed a local denial of service via read of unprotected i915 registers. (bsc#1135966)
CVE-2019-0155: Fixed privilege escalation in the i915 driver. Batch buffers from usermode could have escalated privileges via blitter command stream. (bsc#1135967)
CVE-2019-16233: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_os.c did not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
(bsc#1150457).
CVE-2019-10220: Added sanity checks on the pathnames passed to the user space. (bsc#1144903).
The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

"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).
