Summary

This kernel-linus update is based on the upstream 5.3.13 and fixes atleast the following security issues:
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).
A Spectre SWAPGS gadget was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of system interrupts. An attacker with local access could use this information to reveal private data through a Spectre like side channel (CVE-2019-1125).
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Bluetooth implementation of UART. An attacker with local access and write permissions to the Bluetooth hardware could use this flaw to issue a specially crafted ioctl function call and cause the system to crash (CVE-2019-10207).
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 ...
