The openSUSE Leap 42.2 Kernel was updated to 4.4.90 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-1000252: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (assertion failure, and hypervisor hang or crash) via an     out-of bounds guest_irq value, related to     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c and virt/kvm/eventfd.c (bnc#1058038).

  - CVE-2017-14489: The iscsi_if_rx function in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic)     by leveraging incorrect length validation (bnc#1059051).

  - CVE-2017-12153: A security flaw was discovered in the     nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in     net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel This function     did not check whether the required attributes are     present in a Netlink request. This request can be issued     by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and may     result in a NULL pointer dereference and system crash     (bnc#1058410).

  - CVE-2017-12154: The prepare_vmcs02 function in     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure     that the 'CR8-load exiting' and 'CR8-store exiting' L0     vmcs02 controls exist in cases where L1 omits the 'use     TPR shadow' vmcs12 control, which allowed KVM L2 guest     OS users to obtain read and write access to the hardware     CR8 register (bnc#1058507).
