Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rxe: Return CQE error if invalid lkey was supplied RXE is missing update of WQE status in LOCAL_WRITE failures. This caused
the following kernel panic if someone sent an atomic operation with an
explicitly wrong lkey. [leonro@vm ~]$ mkt test

Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Zheng Wang discovered a use-after-free in the Renesas Ethernet AVB driver in the Linux kernel during device removal. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
