DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2019-1125: Information leak in kernel entry code when swapping GS.

A local attacker could speculatively access percpu data using a user
defined GS and leak information about running kernel to facilitate an
attack.


* CVE-2019-9500: Denial-of-service in Broadcom IEEE802.11n Wake-On-LAN.

Missing range checks when validating an SSID from firmware could result
in a heap overflow and kernel crash.  A remote attacker could use this
flaw to crash a system that used compromised firmware.
