Summary
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
Security Fix(es):

* hw: TSX Transaction Asynchronous Abort (TAA) (CVE-2019-11135)
* kernel: nfs: use-after-free in svc_process_common() (CVE-2018-16884)
* hw: Intel GPU blitter manipulation can allow for arbitrary kernel memory
write (CVE-2019-0155)
* Kernel: vhost_net: infinite loop while receiving packets leads to DoS
(CVE-2019-3900)
* Kernel: page cache side channel attacks (CVE-2019-5489)
* hardware: bluetooth: BR/EDR encryption key negotiation attacks (KNOB)
(CVE-2019-9506)
* kernel: Heap overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function in
drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c (CVE-2019-10126)
* kernel: heap overflow in mwifiex_update_vs_ie() function of Marvell WiFi
driver (CVE-2019-14816)
* Kernel: KVM: OOB memory access via mmio ring buffer (CVE-2019-14821)
* kernel: heap overflow in marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c (CVE-2019-14901)
* hw: Intel GPU Denial Of Service while accessing MMIO in lower power state
(CVE-2019-0154)
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.
Bug Fix(es):
* Backport TCP follow-up for small buffers (BZ#1739184)
* TCP performance regression after CVE-2019-11478 bug fix (BZ#1743170)
* RHEL8.0 - bnx2x link down, caused by transmit timeouts during load test
(Marvell/Cavium/QLogic) (L3:) (BZ#1743548)
* block: blk-mq improvement (BZ#1780567)
* RHEL8.0 - Regression to RHEL7.6 by changing force_latency found during
RHEL8.0 validation for SAP HANA on POWER (BZ#1781111)
* blk-mq: overwirte performance drops on real MQ device (BZ#1782183)
* RHEL8: creating vport takes lot of memory i.e 2GB per vport which leads
to drain out system memory quickly. (BZ#1782705)
