The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: * kernel: Local buffer overflow in ctnetlink_parse_tuple_filter in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c * kernel: SCSI target write to any block on ILO backstore * kernel: locking issue in drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c can lead to an use-after-free * kernel: malicious USB devices can lead to multiple out-of-bounds write * kernel: out-of-bounds reads in pinctrl subsystem. * kernel: use-after-free in i915_ppgtt_close in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c * kernel: performance counters race condition use-after-free * kernel: Geneve/IPsec traffic may be unencrypted between two Geneve endpoints * kernel: use-after-free in read in vt_do_kdgkb_ioctl * kernel: ICMP rate limiting can be used for DNS poisoning attack * kernel: increase slab leak leads to DoS 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.
