How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-25_25-default to version 1-1.3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-25_25-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-25_25-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel 4.14.x, 4.15.x, 4.16.x, 4.17.x, and 4.18.x before 4.18.13, faulty computation of numeric bounds in the BPF verifier permits out-of-bounds memory accesses because adjust_scalar_min_max_vals in kernel/bpf/verifier.c mishandles 32-bit right shifts.
