function allows local denial of service (CVE-2017-18208)
* 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)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
