"An update for kpatch-patch is now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

This is a kernel live patch module which can be loaded by the kpatch
command line utility to modify the code of a running kernel.

Security Fix(es) :

* A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost
functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the
buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to
pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is
underway, could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the
host. (CVE-2019-14835)

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.");
