This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware
Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 18.10 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Jason Wang discovered that the vhost net driver in the Linux kernel
contained an out of bounds write vulnerability. An attacker in a guest
virtual machine could use this to cause a denial of service (host system
crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code in the host kernel.
(CVE-2018-16880)

Jann Horn discovered that the userfaultd implementation in the Linux kernel
did not properly restrict access to certain ioctls. A local attacker could
use this possibly to modify files. (CVE-2018-18397)

Jann Horn discovered a race condition in the fork() system call in the
Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to gain access to services
that cache authorizations. (CVE-2019-6133)
