The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux

Security Fix(es) :
* A race condition flaw was found in the N_HLDC Linux kernel driver
when accessing n_hdlc.tbuf list that can lead to double free. A local,
unprivileged user able to set the HDLC line discipline on the tty
device could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the system.
