- Summary
- Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerability
- Details
-
This update is based on upstream 5.4.10 and fixes at least the following security issues:
ext4_empty_dir in fs/ext4/namei.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.12 allows a NULL pointer dereference because ext4_read_dirblock(inode,0,DIRENT_HTREE) can be zero. (CVE-2019-19037)
It also fixes various potential security issues related to buffer overflows, double frees, NUll pointer dereferences, improper / missing input validations and so on.

- Revert 'drm/amdgpu: Set no-retry as default.', fixing amdgpu hang on Raven Ridge gpus (mga#25882)

- updates to the arm64 defconfigs:
- Enable some EFI stuff on arm64 (mga#26003)
- Enable a lot of missing things on arm64 kernels (including ACPI and Amazon network driver)
