It appears they do. Here's what the patch description says:
"openSUSE-2018-1 - Security update for kernel-firmware

So with intel this doesn't help and must not be installed?
For Intel the update is "ucode-intel".
it is just part of the fix, the kernel update is needed to implement it.
Thanks Marcus!
So with installing Kernel 4.4.104-39-default and ucode-intel installed with latest zypper up on OS 42.3 I have done what I should?
Sorry for stupid question... these things are far beyond of my horizon of knowledge...
Variant 3 aka Meltdown is fixed with the update due to "PTI" being enabled and deployed. Variant 1 of Spectre has a lot of fixes applied to the kernel, so should be mostly fixed for the kernel. Variant 2 of Spectre needs the ucode-intel package, and is partially fixed, as we only mitigated Haswell-X, Broadwell-X and Skylake-X with the ucode and kernel update so far.
