CVEs: CVE-2019-0155

Systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 can now use Ksplice to
patch against the latest Red Hat Security Advisory, RHSA-2019:3872.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running RHEL 7 install
these updates.

On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,
these updates will be installed automatically and you do not need to
take any action.

Alternatively, you can install these updates by running:

DESCRIPTION

* Improved fix for CVE-2019-0155: Privilege escalation in Intel i915 graphics driver.

Missing zeroing of data used to disallow rogue i915 instructions could
make i915 driver vulnerable to CVE-2019-0155 on 64 bits systems.
