Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lttng-modules package and not the lttng-modules package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel KVM hypervisor before 4.18 emulated instructions such as sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current privilege(CPL) level while emulating unprivileged instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges inside guest.
