LTS to address L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF) vulnerabilities (CVE-2018-3620,
CVE-2018-3646). Unfortunately, the update introduced regressions
that caused kernel panics when booting in some environments as well
as preventing Java applications from starting. This update fixes
the problems.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU
 core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the CPU
 core. This vulnerability is also known as L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). A local
 attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to expose sensitive
 information (memory from other guests or the host OS). (CVE-2018-3646)

 attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (memory from the
 kernel or other processes). (CVE-2018-3620)

 Juha-Matti Tilli discovered that the TCP implementation in the Linux kernel
 performed algorithmically expensive operations in some situations when
 handling incoming packets. A remote attacker could use this to cause a
 denial of service. (CVE-2018-5390)

 Juha-Matti Tilli discovered that the IP implementation in the Linux kernel
 performed algorithmically expensive operations in some situations when
 handling incoming packet fragments. A remote attacker could use this to
 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5391)");
