Suse just released a new kernel-default-4.4.131-94.29-1 package for SLES 12SP3 with some kernel security fixes. If you use XFS, don't install it! I installed it and the system wouldn't mount an existing XFS filesystem. Our friendly Suse engineer (thanks, Roberto!) told me that it's a regression in the kernel. A *NEW* XFS filesystem created under this kernel mounted under both 4.4.131 and the older 4.4.126. The biggest fix with this kernel is that now we have a file for speculative store bypass. If you cat it (/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_store_bypass) you get "Not Affected". So I don't think waiting for the fix will significantly harm anyone's system security... If anyone cares, our ticket is SR101165092091 Ted Rodriguez-Bell Wells Fargo Mainframe and Midrange Services [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
