CVE-2018-5848

In the function wmi_set_ie(), the length validation code does not handle unsigned integer overflow properly. As a result, a large value of the 'ie_len' argument can cause a buffer overflow in all Android releases from CAF (Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android) using the Linux Kernel.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
