Note from the SUSE Security Team
This issue affects the x86_64 Linux kernel on all our SUSE Linux and openSUSE products and we are currently preparing fixed packages.Note from the SUSE Security Team on the kernel-default package
SUSE will no longer fix all CVEs in the Linux Kernel anymore, but declare some bug classes as won't fix. Please refer to TID 21496 for more details.Note from the SUSE Security Team on the xen package
This issue likely only affects the XEN hypervisor itself, unless otherwise stated. The userland utilities in -tools and libraries in -libs are shipped together with the xen hypervisor as they are built from one source and do not contain hypervisor specific fixes.
