This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.61-52_101 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-13166: An elevation of privilege vulnerability     in the kernel v4l2 video driver was fixed.
    (bsc#1085447).

  - CVE-2018-8897: A statement in the System Programming     Guide of the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software     Developer's Manual (SDM) was mishandled in the     development of some or all operating-system kernels,     resulting in unexpected behavior for #DB exceptions that     are deferred by MOV SS or POP SS, as demonstrated by     (for example) privilege escalation in Windows, macOS,     some Xen configurations, or FreeBSD, or a Linux kernel     crash. The MOV to SS and POP SS instructions inhibit     interrupts (including NMIs), data breakpoints, and     single step trap exceptions until the instruction     boundary following the next instruction (SDM Vol. 3A;
    section 6.8.3). (The inhibited data breakpoints are     those on memory accessed by the MOV to SS or POP to SS     instruction itself.) Note that debug exceptions are not     inhibited by the interrupt enable (EFLAGS.IF) system     flag (SDM Vol. 3A; section 2.3). If the instruction     following the MOV to SS or POP to SS instruction is an     instruction like SYSCALL, SYSENTER, INT 3, etc. that     transfers control to the operating system at CPL is     complete. OS kernels may not expect this order of events     and may therefore experience unexpected behavior when it     occurs (bsc#1090368).

  - CVE-2018-8781: The udl_fb_mmap function in     drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c had an integer-overflow     vulnerability allowing local users with access to the     udldrmfb driver to obtain full read and write     permissions on kernel physical pages, resulting in a     code execution in kernel space (bsc#1090646).

  - bsc#1083125: Fixed kgraft: small race in reversion code

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2018-4096 advisory.

    - x86/kernel/traps.c: fix trace_die_notifier return value (Kris Van Hees)   {CVE-2018-8897}
    - x86/entry/64: Dont use IST entry for #BP stack (Andy Lutomirski)   {CVE-2018-8897}

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host is running Mac OS X 10.11.6 or Mac OS X 10.12.6 and is missing a security update. It is therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2018-4219 advisory.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 10.13.x prior to 10.13.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.

A statement in the System Programming Guide of the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual (SDM) was mishandled in the development of some or all operating-system kernels, resulting in unexpected behavior for #DB exceptions that are deferred by MOV SS or POP SS, as demonstrated by (for example) privilege escalation in Windows, macOS, some Xen configurations, or FreeBSD, or a Linux kernel crash. The MOV to SS and POP SS instructions inhibit interrupts (including NMIs), data breakpoints, and single step trap exceptions until the instruction boundary following the next instruction (SDM Vol. 3A; section 6.8.3). (The inhibited data breakpoints are those on memory accessed by the MOV to SS or POP to SS instruction itself.) Note that debug exceptions are not inhibited by the interrupt enable (EFLAGS.IF) system flag (SDM Vol. 3A; section 2.3). If the instruction following the MOV to SS or POP to SS instruction is an instruction like SYSCALL, SYSENTER, INT 3, etc. that transfers control to the operating system at CPL < 3, the debug exception is delivered after the transfer to CPL < 3 is complete. OS kernels may not expect this order of events and may therefore experience unexpected behavior when it occurs.
