  bugfixes.

  The following security bugs were fixed:

  - CVE-2017-18551: There was an out of bounds write in the function
  i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated (bnc#1146163).

  - CVE-2018-20976: A use after free exists, related to xfs_fs_fill_super
  failure (bnc#1146285).

  - CVE-2018-21008: A use-after-free can be caused by the function
  rsi_mac80211_detach in the file
  drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_mac80211.c (bnc#1149591).

  - CVE-2019-14814: A heap overflow in mwifiex_set_uap_rates() function of
  Marvell was fixed.  (bnc#1146512).

  - CVE-2019-14815: A heap overflow in mwifiex_set_wmm_params() function of
  Marvell Wifi Driver was fixed. (bnc#1146514).

  - CVE-2019-14816: A heap overflow in mwifiex_update_vs_ie() function of
  Marvell Wifi Driver was fixed.  (bnc#1146516).

  - CVE-2019-14835: A vhost/vhost_net kernel buffer overflow could lead to
  guest to host kernel escape during live migration (bnc#1150112).

  - CVE-2019-15030: In the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform, a local
  user can read vector registers of other users' processes via a Facility
  Unavailable exception. To exploit the venerability, a local user starts
  a transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin)
  and then accesses vector registers. At some point, the vector registers
  will be corrupted with the values from a different local Linux process
  because of a missing arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c check (bnc#1149713).

  - CVE-2019-15031: In the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform, a local
  user can read vector registers of other users' processes via an
  interrupt. To exploit the venerability, a local user starts a
  transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin)
  and then accesses vector registers. At some point, the vector registers
  will be corrupted with the values from a different local Linux process,
  because MSR_TM_ACTIVE is misused in arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c
  (bnc#1149713).

  - CVE-2019-15090: In the qedi_dbg_* family of functions, there was an
  out-of-bounds read (bnc#1146399).

  - CVE-2019-15098: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/usb.c had a NULL pointer
  dereference via an incomplete address in an endpoint descriptor
  (bnc#1146378).

  - CVE-2019-15117: parse_audio_mixer_unit in sound/usb/mixer.c in the Linux
  kernel mishandled a short descriptor, leading to out-of-bounds memory
  access (bnc#1145920).

  - CVE-2019-15118: check_input_term in sound/usb/mixer.c in the Linux
  kernel mishandled recursion, leading to kernel stack exhaustion
  (bnc#1145922).

  - CVE-2019-1 ...
