Synopsis: Important: kernel security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2019:2863-1
Issue Date:        2019-09-23
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2019-14835
--

Security Fix(es):

* A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost
functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer
descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass
descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway,
could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the host.
