DESCRIPTION
* CVE-2019-11085: Privilege escalation in Intel i915 pass-through devices.
Incorrect address validation for an Intel i915 device passed through to
a virtual machine could result in an out-of-bounds memory access. A
privileged user in the VM could use this flaw to crash the host or
potentially leak the memory contents of the host or other VMs on the
system.
* CVE-2019-11810: Denial-of-service in LSI Logic MegaRAID probing.
A logic error in the LSI Logic MegaRAID device probing could result in a
NULL pointer dereference and kernel crash under specific conditions.
* CVE-2019-11811: Privilege escalation in IPMI module unload.
Incorrect error handling could result in an invalid pointer dereference
on reads of /proc/ioports after unloading the IPMI driver. A local user
could use this flaw to crash the system, disclose sensitive memory
contents or potentially escalate privileges.
* CVE-2018-20784: Denial-of-service in task scheduling.
A logic in the kernel task scheduler could result in an infinite loop
under high load conditions. A local, unprivileged user could use this
flaw to cause a denial of service.
