3. Description:
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: metadata validator in XFS may cause an inode with a valid,
user-creatable extended attribute to be flagged as corrupt (CVE-2020-14385)
* kernel: The flow_dissector feature allows device tracking
(CVE-2019-18282)
* kernel: Buffer over-read in crypto_authenc_extractkeys() when a payload
longer than 4 bytes is not aligned. (CVE-2020-10769)
* kernel: buffer uses out of index in ext3/4 filesystem (CVE-2020-14314)
* kernel: umask not applied on filesystem without ACL support
(CVE-2020-24394)
* kernel: TOCTOU mismatch in the NFS client code (CVE-2020-25212)
* kernel: improper input validation in ppp_cp_parse_cr function leads to
memory corruption and read overflow (CVE-2020-25643)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.
