* kernel: use-after-free in __blk_add_trace in kernel/trace/blktrace.c
(CVE-2019-19768)

* Kernel: NetLabel: null pointer dereference while receiving CIPSO packet
with null category may cause kernel panic (CVE-2020-10711)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.

4. Solution:
