This kernel update is based on the upstream 5.3.13 and fixes atleast the

Insufficient access control in a subsystem for Intel (R) processor graphics
may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of
privilege via local access (CVE-2019-0155).
TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing speculative
execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable
information disclosure via a side channel with local access

potentially enable denial of service of the host system via local access
(CVE-2018-12207).
