The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2018-5848: In the function wmi_set_ie(), the length validation code did
 not handle unsigned integer overflow properly. As a result, a large value of
 the 'ie_len' argument could have caused a buffer overflow (bnc#1097356)
- CVE-2018-1000204: Prevent infoleak caused by incorrect handling of the SG_IO
 ioctl (bsc#1096728).
- CVE-2017-18249: The add_free_nid function did not properly track an allocated
 nid, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (race condition) or
 possibly have unspecified other impact via concurrent threads (bnc#1087036)
- CVE-2018-3665: Prevent disclosure of FPU registers (including XMM and AVX
 registers) between processes. These registers might contain encryption keys
 when doing SSE accelerated AES enc/decryption (bsc#1087086)
- CVE-2017-18241: Prevent a NULL pointer dereference by using a noflush_merge
 option that triggers a NULL value for a flush_cmd_control data structure
 (bnc#1086400)
- CVE-2017-13305: Prevent information disclosure vulnerability in
 encrypted-keys (bsc#1094353).
- CVE-2018-1093: The ext4_valid_block_bitmap function allowed attackers to
 cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted
 ext4 image because balloc.c and ialloc.c did not validate bitmap block numbers
 (bsc#1087095).
- CVE-2018-1094: The ext4_fill_super function did not always initialize the
 crc32c checksum driver, which allowed attackers to cause a denial of service
 (ext4_xattr_inode_hash NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted
 ext4 image (bsc#1087007).
- CVE-2018-1092: The ext4_iget function mishandled the case of a root directory
 with a zero i_links_count, which allowed attackers to cause a denial of service
 (ext4_process_freed_data NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted ext4
 image (bsc#1087012).
- CVE-2018-1130: NULL pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit() function that
 allowed a local user to cause a denial of service by a number of certain
 crafted system calls (bsc#1092904).
- CVE-2018-1065: The netfilter subsystem mishandled the case of a rule blob
 that contains a jump but lacks a user-defined chain, which allowed local users
 to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) by leveraging the
 CAP_NET_RAW or CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (bsc#1083650).
- CVE-2018-5803: Prevent error in the '_sctp_make_chunk()' function when
 handling SCTP packets length that could have been exploited to cause a kernel
 crash (bnc#1083900).
- CVE-2018-7492: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in the net/rds/rdma.c
 __rds_rdma_map() function that allowed local attackers to cause a system panic
 and a denial-of-service, related to RDS_GET_MR and RDS_GET_MR_FOR_DEST
 (bsc#1082962).
- CVE-2018-1000199: Prevent vulnerability in modify_user_hw_breakpoint() ... [Please see the references for more information on the vulnerabilities]");
