Summary
Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities
Details

This kernel update is based on upstream -longterm 3.14.24 and fixes the following security issues:

The WRMSR processing functionality in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle the writing of a non- canonical address to a model-specific register, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging guest OS privileges, related to the wrmsrinterception function in arch/x86/kvm/svm.c and the handlewrmsr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c (CVE-2014-3610).

Race condition in the _kvmmigratepittimer function in arch/x86/kvm/i8254.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging incorrect PIT emulation (CVE-2014-3611).

arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not have an exit handler for the INVVPID instruction, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application (CVE-2014-3646).

arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly perform RIP changes, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application (CVE-2014-3647).

Other changes: Revert "drivers/net: Disable UFO through virtio" as it breaks VM migration add ahci support for Intel Sunrise Point / Skylake make INTEL_MEI modular (mga#14469)
