Summary
Security update for the Linux Kernel
Details

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bug was fixed:

  • CVE-2018-3639: Information leaks using 'Memory Disambiguation' feature in modern CPUs were mitigated, aka 'Spectre Variant 4' (bnc#1087082).

    A new boot commandline option was introduced, 'specstorebypass_disable', which can have following values:

    • auto: Kernel detects whether your CPU model contains an implementation of Speculative Store Bypass and picks the most appropriate mitigation.
    • on: disable Speculative Store Bypass
    • off: enable Speculative Store Bypass
    • prctl: Control Speculative Store Bypass per thread via prctl. Speculative Store Bypass is enabled for a process by default. The state of the control is inherited on fork.
    • seccomp: Same as 'prctl' above, but all seccomp threads will disable SSB unless they explicitly opt out.

    The default is 'seccomp', meaning programs need explicit opt-in into the mitigation.

    Status can be queried via the /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/specstorebypass file, containing:

    • 'Vulnerable'
    • 'Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled'
    • 'Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl'
    • 'Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl and seccomp'

The following related and non-security bugs were fixed:

  • cpuid: Fix cpuid.edx.7.0 propagation to guest
  • ext4: Fix hole length detection in ext4indmap_blocks() (bsc#1090953).
  • ibmvnic: Clean actual number of RX or TX pools (bsc#1092289).
  • kvm: Introduce nopvspin kernel parameter (bsc#1056427).
  • kvm: Fix nopvspin static branch init usage (bsc#1056427).
  • powerpc/64: Use barrier_nospec in syscall entry (bsc#1068032, bsc#1080157).
  • powerpc/64s: Add barrier_nospec (bsc#1068032, bsc#1080157).

  • powerpc/64s: Move cpushowmeltdown() (bsc#1068032, bsc#1075087, bsc#1091041).
  • powerpc/64s: Patch barrier_nospec in modules (bsc#1068032, bsc#1080157).
  • powerpc/64s: Wire up cpushowspectre_v1() (bsc#1068032, bsc#1075087, bsc#1091041).
  • powerpc/64s: Wire up cpushowspectre_v2() (bsc#1068032, bsc#1075087, bsc#1091041).
  • powerpc/powernv: Set or clear security feature flags (bsc#1068032, bsc#1075087, bsc#1091041).
  • powerpc/powernv: Use the security flags in pnvsetuprfi_flush() (bsc#1068032, bsc#1075087, bsc#1091041).
  • powerpc/pseries: Add new HGETCPU_CHARACTERISTICS flags (bsc#1068032, bsc#1075087, bsc#1091041).
  • powerpc/pseries: Fix clearing of security feature flags (bsc#1068032, bsc#1075087, bsc#1091041).
  • powerpc/pseries: Restore default security feature flags on setup (bsc#1068032, bsc#1075087, bsc#1091041).
  • powerpc/pseries: Set or clear security feature flags (bsc#1068032, bsc#1075087, bsc#1091041).

  • powerpc: Add security feature flags for Spectre/Meltdown (bsc#1068032, bsc#1075087, bsc#1091041).
  • powerpc: Move default security feature flags (bsc#1068032, bsc#1075087, bsc#1091041).
  • powerpc: Use barriernospec in copyfrom_user() (bsc#1068032, bsc#1080157).
