The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: * kernel: net: bluetooth: type confusion while processing AMP packets * kernel: net: bluetooth: information leak when processing certain AMP packets * kernel: metadata validator in XFS may cause an inode with a valid, user-creatable extended attribute to be flagged as corrupt * kernel: memory corruption in net/packet/af_packet.c leads to elevation of privilege * kernel: kernel: buffer over write in vgacon_scroll 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. Bug Fix: * [mlx5] stale ethtool steering rules remain after moving back to legacy mode * 50% cpu in masked_flow_update with pop to pod TCP_RR * take into account GSO and fragmented packets in execute_check_pkt_len action * RHEL8.1 - scsi: ibmvfc: Avoid loss of all paths during SVC node reboot * RHEL8.3 Pre-Beta - smc: SMC connections hang with later-level implementations * Incorrect pinning of IRQ threads on isolated CPUs by drivers that use cpumask_local_spread * [RHEL8] Fixes for DEADLINE scheduler class * RHEL8.1 - s390/pci: Fix unexpected write combine on resource * dm multipath: fix spurious failures during IO completion [EIOP-8345] * IO on virtio-scsi hangs when running cpu hotplug test * store_rps_map doesn"t accept an empty bitmask, which is required for disabling RPS on a queue * Memory registration cache data corruption possible, fix requires backporting * fix another case of wait list corruption for PSM/sdma * [RHEL-8] Segmentation fault when fi_bw -e msg -v -T 1 -p quot;verbsquot; * fix mounting and inode number handling on s390x * failure to enter nohz_full mode for non SCHED_FIFO tasks * Secure boot key is not loaded with kernel-4.18.0-232.el8.x86_64 / shim-x64-15-15 * [RHEL-8.3] Kdump failed to start when secure boot enabled: kexec_file_load failed: Required key not available * [RHEL-8.3] Kdump/kexec kernel panicked on EFI boot: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI * Sleeping or scheduling after sched_cpu_dying led to quot;scheduling while atomicquot; and BUG at kernel/cpu.c:907! * [conntrack] udp packet reverse NAT occasionally fail when race condition request combination with the DNAT load balancing rules * [Regression] RHEL8.3 Beta - Do not initiate shutdown for EPOW_SHUTDOWN_ON_UPS event
