"Security Fix(es) :

  - Modern operating systems implement virtualization of
    physical memory to efficiently use available system
    resources and provide inter-domain protection through
    access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was found
    in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have
    implemented speculative execution of instructions (a
    commonly used performance optimisation) in combination
    with handling of page-faults caused by terminated
    virtual to physical address resolving process. As a
    result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to
    read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes
    and/or cross guest/host boundaries to read host memory
    by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
    (CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern
    microprocessor designs have implemented speculative
    execution of instructions past bounds check. The flaw
    relies on the presence of a precisely-defined
    instruction sequence in the privileged code and the fact
    that memory writes occur to an address which depends on
    the untrusted value. Such writes cause an update into
    the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively
    executed instructions that never actually commit
    (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could
    use this flaw to influence speculative execution and/or
    read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache
    side- channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3693)

  - A flaw named SegmentSmack was found in the way the Linux
    kernel handled specially crafted TCP packets. A remote
    attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and
    calculation expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue()
    and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() functions by sending specially
    modified packets within ongoing TCP sessions which could
    lead to a CPU saturation and hence a denial of service
    on the system. Maintaining the denial of service
    condition requires continuous two-way TCP sessions to a
    reachable open port, thus the attacks cannot be
    performed using spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2018-5390)

  - kernel: crypto: privilege escalation in skcipher_recvmsg
    function (CVE-2017-13215)

  - kernel: mm: use-after-free in do_get_mempolicy function
    allows local DoS or other unspecified impact
    (CVE-2018-10675)

  - kernel: race condition in snd_seq_write() may lead to
    UAF or OOB access (CVE-2018-7566)");
