3. Description:
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: out of bounds write in function i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated in
drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c (CVE-2017-18551)
* kernel: race condition in smp_task_timedout() and smp_task_done() in
drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c leads to use-after-free (CVE-2018-20836)
* kernel: out of bounds write in i2c driver leads to local escalation of
privilege (CVE-2019-9454)
* kernel: Denial Of Service in the __ipmi_bmc_register() function in
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c (CVE-2019-19046)
* kernel: mounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image, performing some
operations, and unmounting can lead to a use-after-free in ext4_put_super
in fs/ext4/super.c (CVE-2019-19447)
* kernel: out-of-bounds write via crafted keycode table (CVE-2019-20636)
* kernel: sg_write function lacks an sg_remove_request call in a certain
failure case (CVE-2020-12770)
