Ran stress tests as usual.  teapot running at 2200 fps.  Ran stellarium - which identified some of the brighter stars and planets in the twilight sky.  celestia works, libreoffice writer, kmahjongg, vlc connected to free-to-air HD TV, bluetooth sound, vlc with video files, wifi printing from LO,the Gimp for simple image manipulations.....  No obvious problems.

Two machines updated to all updates in all updates_testing repos.
kernel 4.14.56-1 installed cleanly, rebooted, tested OK:

1)  64 bit OK on my workstation: i7-2600K, Nvidia GTX750 (GM107) using proprietary driver GeForce 420 and later, with CUDA & OpenCL detected OK in BOINC, LVM on LUKS on SSD, VirtualBox running MSW7, Plasma5.12 etc, video in Firefox,,, 

2) 64 bit on laptop Thinkpad T60, CPU core2Duo T5600, ati RV515/M54 X1400, wifi AR5418, LVM on LUKS on SSD. Resume from suspend and hibernation *) OK except wifi need to be reconnected manually :/  (regression)
(Quirk: like earlier kernel updates it need to be rebooted one extra time to work properly, or else it returns to suspend when being waked up and always need a second wake up every wake up until rebooted.)

*) using Fn+F4 and Fn+F12 respectively - Somehow the Plasma battery icon have gone missing and logout menu do not contain suspend nor hibernate any longer!

  This kernel update is based on the upstream 4.14.56 and fixes atleast
  the following security issues:

  kernel KVM before versions kernel 4.16, kernel 4.16-rc7, kernel 4.17-rc1,
  kernel 4.17-rc2 and kernel 4.17-rc3 is vulnerable to a flaw in the way the
  Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled exceptions delivered after a stack
  switch operation via Mov SS or Pop SS instructions. During the stack switch
  operation, the processor did not deliver interrupts and exceptions, rather
  they are delivered once the first instruction after the stack switch is
  executed. An unprivileged KVM guest user could use this flaw to crash the
  guest or, potentially, escalate their privileges in the guest
  (CVE-2018-1087).
 
  Linux kernel vhost since version 4.8 does not properly initialize memory in
  messages passed between virtual guests and the host operating system in the
  vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This can allow local privileged
  users to read some kernel memory contents when reading from the
  /dev/vhost-net device file (CVE-2018-1118).

  In some circumstances, some operating systems or hypervisors may not expect
  or properly handle an Intel architecture hardware debug exception. The error
  appears to be due to developer interpretation of existing documentation for
  certain Intel architecture interrupt/exception instructions, namely MOV SS
  and POP SS. An authenticated attacker may be able to read sensitive data in
  memory or control low-level operating system functions (CVE-2018-8897).

  Linux kernel is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow in the 
  fs/ext4/xattr.c:ext4_xattr_set_entry() function. An attacker could exploit
  this by operating on a mounted crafted ext4 image (CVE-2018-10840).

  A flaw was found in Linux kernel ext4 File System. A use-after-free in
  ext4_ext_remove_space() when mounting and operating a crafted ext4 image
  (CVE-2018-10876).

  Linux kernel ext4 filesystem is vulnerable to an out-of-bound access in the
  ext4_ext_drop_refs() function when operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem
  image (CVE-2018-10877).

  A flaw was found in Linux kernel ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause a
  use-after-free in ext4_xattr_set_entry function and so a denial of service
  or possibly unspecified other impact by when renaming a file in a crafted
  ext4 filesystem image (CVE-2018-10879).

  A flaw was found in Linux kernel ext4 filesystem code. A stack-out-of-bounds
  write in ext4_update_inline_data() is possible when mounting and writing to
  a crafted ext4 image. An attacker could use this to cause  a system crash
  and a denial of service (CVE-2018-10880).

  A flaw was found in Linux kernel ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an
  out-of-bound access in ext4_get_group_info function and so a denial of
  service and a system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted ext4
  filesystem image (CVE-2018-10881).

  A flaw was found in Linux kernel ext4 File System. An out-of-bound write
  when unmounting a crafted ext4 image in fs/jbd2/transaction.c. An attacker
  could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) (CVE-2018-10882).

  A flaw was found in Linux kernel ext4 File System. An out-of-bound write in
  jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() that kernel cannot handle when mounting and
  operating a crafted ext4 image. An attacker could use this to cause a
  denial of service (system crash) (CVE-2018-10883).

  In the Linux kernel 4.13 through 4.16.11, ext4_read_inline_data() in
  fs/ext4/inline.c performs a memcpy with an untrusted length value in certain
  circumstances involving a crafted filesystem that stores the system.data
  extended attribute value in a dedicated inode (CVE-2018-11412).

  The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through
  4.17.4 allows local users to create files with an unintended group
  ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and
  is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the
  non-member can trigger creation of a plain file whose group ownership is
  that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger
  creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is
  that group. The non-member can escalate privileges by making the plain
  file executable and SGID (CVE-2018-13405).

  Other changes in this update:

  * WireGuard has been updated to 0.0.20180708.
  * enable Mellanox5 support (mga#23263)
  * enable SMARTPQI support (mga#23305)
  * ext4: check for allocation block validity with block group locked,
    fixes possible data corruption under heavy load
  * Add PCI ID for Cannon Lake PCH-LP and Ice Lake LP AHCI
