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

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2021-26930: Fixed an improper error handling in blkback's grant
mapping (XSA-365 bsc#1181843).

CVE-2021-26931: Fixed an issue where Linux kernel was treating grant
mapping errors as bugs (XSA-362 bsc#1181753).

CVE-2021-26932: Fixed improper error handling issues in Linux grant
mapping (XSA-361 bsc#1181747). by remote attackers to read or write
files via directory traversal in an XCOPY request (bsc#178372).

CVE-2020-29368,CVE-2020-29374: Fixed an issue in copy-on-write
implementation which could have granted unintended write access
because of a race condition in a THP mapcount check (bsc#1179660,
bsc#1179428).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for
details.

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.");
