The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.131 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were 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, 'spec_store_bypass_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/spec_store_bypass file, containing:

  • 'Vulnerable'
