Title:RHSA-2020:1524: kernel security update (Important)
Description:The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

Security Fix(es):

  • kernel: rtl_p2p_noa_ie in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in the Linux kernel lacks a certain upper-bound check, leading to a buffer overflow (CVE-2019-17666)

  • kernel: offset2lib allows for the stack guard page to be jumped over (CVE-2017-1000371)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
