  These security issues were fixed:

  - CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5754: Prevent information leaks
  via side effects of speculative execution, aka 'Spectre' and 'Meltdown'
  attacks (bsc#1074562, bsc#1068032)

  - CVE-2017-15595: x86 PV guest OS users were able to cause a DoS
  (unbounded recursion, stack consumption, and hypervisor crash) or
  possibly gain privileges via crafted page-table stacking (bsc#1061081)

  - CVE-2017-17566: Prevent PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service
  (host OS crash) or gain host OS privileges in shadow mode by mapping a
  certain auxiliary page (bsc#1070158).

  - CVE-2017-17563: Prevent guest OS users to cause a denial of service
  (host OS crash) or gain host OS privileges by leveraging an incorrect
  mask for reference-count overflow checking in shadow mode (bsc#1070159).

  - CVE-2017-17564: Prevent guest OS users to cause a denial of service
  (host OS crash) or gain host OS privileges by leveraging incorrect error
  handling for reference counting in shadow mode (bsc#1070160).

  - CVE-2017-17565: Prevent PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service
  (host OS crash) if shadow mode and log-dirty mode are in place, because
  of an incorrect assertion related to M2P (bsc#1070163).

  - CVE-2018-5683: The vga_draw_text function allowed local OS guest
  privileged users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and
  QEMU process crash) by leveraging improper memory address validation
  (bsc#1076116).

  - CVE-2017-18030: The cirrus_invalidate_region function allowed local OS
  guest privileged users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array
  access and QEMU process crash) via vectors related to negative pitch
  (bsc#1076180).

  These non-security issues were fixed:

  - bsc#1067317: pass cache=writebackunsafedirectsync to qemu depending on
  the libxl disk settings

  - bsc#1051729: Prevent invalid symlinks after install of SLES 12 SP2

  - bsc#1035442: Increased the value of LIBXL_DESTROY_TIMEOUT from 10 to 100
  seconds. If many domUs shutdown in parallel the backends couldn't keep up

  - bsc#1027519: Added several upstream patches

  This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP3:Update update project.");
