The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: * kernel: ipvlan: out-of-bounds write caused by unclear skb-cb * kernel: cls_flower: out-of-bounds write in fl_set_geneve_opt * kernel: KVM: x86/mmu: race condition in direct_page_fault * kernel: speculative pointer dereference in do_prlimit in kernel/sys.c * kernel: Spectre v2 SMT mitigations problem 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.
