RedHat: RHSA-2019-2866:01 Important: kernel security update
Summary
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
Security Fix(es):
* A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost
functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer
descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass
descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway,
could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the host.
(CVE-2019-14835)
