  • hw: Machine Check Error on Page Size Change (IFU) (CVE-2018-12207)

  • hw: TSX Transaction Asynchronous Abort (TAA) (CVE-2019-11135)

  • Kernel: vhost_net: infinite loop while receiving packets leads to DoS (CVE-2019-3900)

  • hw: Intel GPU Denial Of Service while accessing MMIO in lower power state (CVE-2019-0154)

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.

Bug Fix(es) :

  • [Intel 6.10 Bug] With mWait/C-states disabled, HT on, ibrs enabled, performance impact observed on user space benchmark (BZ#1560787)

  • kernel-2.6.32-573.60.2.el6 hangs/resets during boot in efi_enter_virtual_mode() on Xeon v2 E7-2870 (BZ#1645724)

  • Slab leak: skbuff_head_cache slab object still allocated after mcast processes are stopped and ‘fragments dropped after timeout’ errors are shown (BZ#1752536)
