The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: * kernel: locking issue in drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c can lead to an use-after-free * kernel: performance counters race condition use-after-free * kernel: ICMP rate limiting can be used for DNS poisoning attack For more details about the security issue, including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page listed in the References section.
