<description>
The SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 kernel was updated to 3.12.39 to
receive various security and bugfixes.

Following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2015-0777: The XEN usb backend could leak information to the guest
  system due to copying uninitialized memory.

- CVE-2015-2150: Xen and the Linux kernel did not properly restrict access
  to PCI command registers, which might have allowed local guest users to
  cause a denial of service (non-maskable interrupt and host crash) by
  disabling the (1) memory or (2) I/O decoding for a PCI Express device
  and then accessing the device, which triggers an Unsupported Request
  (UR) response.
