The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2018-1068: Fixed flaw in the implementation of 32-bit syscall interface
 for bridging. This allowed a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited
 range of kernel memory (bnc#1085107).
- CVE-2017-18221: The __munlock_pagevec function allowed local users to cause a
 denial of service (NR_MLOCK accounting corruption) via crafted use of mlockall
 and munlockall system calls (bnc#1084323).
- CVE-2018-1066: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in
 fs/cifs/cifsencrypt.c:setup_ntlmv2_rsp() that allowed an attacker controlling a
 CIFS server to kernel panic a client that has this server mounted, because an
 empty TargetInfo field in an NTLMSSP setup negotiation response was mishandled
 during session recovery (bnc#1083640).
- CVE-2017-13166: Prevent elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel
 v4l2 video driver (bnc#1072865).
- CVE-2017-16911: The vhci_hcd driver allowed local attackers to disclose
 kernel memory addresses. Successful exploitation required that a USB device was
 attached over IP (bnc#1078674).
- CVE-2017-15299: The KEYS subsystem mishandled use of add_key for a key that
 already exists but is uninstantiated, which allowed local users to cause a
 denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have
 unspecified other impact via a crafted system call (bnc#1063416).
- CVE-2017-18208: The madvise_willneed function kernel allowed local users to
 cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED
 for a DAX mapping (bnc#1083494).
- CVE-2018-7566: The ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand
 by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write happens and the pool is
 empty. A user could have reset the pool size manually via ioctl concurrently,
 which may have lead UAF or out-of-bound access (bsc#1083483).
- CVE-2017-18204: The ocfs2_setattr function allowed local users to cause a
 denial of service (deadlock) via DIO requests (bnc#1083244).
- CVE-2017-16644: The hdpvr_probe function allowed local users to cause a
 denial of service (improper error handling and system crash) or possibly have
 unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1067118).
- CVE-2018-6927: The futex_requeue function allowed attackers to cause a denial
 of service (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by
 triggering a negative wake or requeue value (bnc#1080757).
- CVE-2017-16914: The 'stub_send_ret_submit()' function allowed attackers to
 cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a specially crafted
 USB over IP packet (bnc#1078669).
- CVE-2016-7915: The hid_input_field function allowed physically proximate
 attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial
 of service (out-of-bounds read) by ... [Please see the references for more information on the vulnerabilities]");
