SUSE-SU-2018:1482-1

Описание

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

This update main focus is a regression fix in SystemV IPC handling. (bsc#1093600)

The following non-security bugs were fixed:

• Drop cBPF SSBD as classic BPF does not really have a proper concept of pointers, and without eBPF maps the out-of-bounds access in speculative execution branch can't be mounted. Moreoever, seccomp BPF uses only such a subset of BPF that can only do absolute indexing, and therefore seccomp data buffer boundarier can't be crossed. Information condensed from Alexei and Kees.
• ibrs used instead of retpoline on Haswell processor with spectre_v2=retpoline (bsc#1092497)
