RedHat: RHSA-2019-1959:01 Important: kernel security, bug fix,
Summary
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: insufficient input validation in kernel mode driver in Intel i915
graphics leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2019-11085)
* kernel: DMA attack using peripheral devices (Thunderclap) (BZ#1690716)
* kernel: infinite loop in update_blocked_averages() in kernel/sched/fair.c
leading to denial of service (CVE-2018-20784)
* kernel: a NULL pointer dereference in
drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c leading to DoS (CVE-2019-11810)
* kernel: use-after-free in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c,
ipmi_si_mem_io.c, ipmi_si_port_io.c (CVE-2019-11811)
