Description:

   This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.180-94_107 fixes several issues.

   The following security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2020-0429: In l2tp_session_delete and related functions of
     l2tp_core.c, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after
     free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with system
     execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for
     exploitation. (bsc#1176724)
   - CVE-2020-14381: Fixed a use-after-free in the fast user mutex (futex)
     wait operation, which could have lead to memory corruption and possibly
     privilege escalation (bsc#1176011).
   - CVE-2020-0431: In kbd_keycode of keyboard.c, there is a possible out of
     bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local
     escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.
     User interaction is not needed for exploitation. (bsc#1176722)
   - CVE-2020-25212: A TOCTOU mismatch in the NFS client code could be used
     by local attackers to corrupt memory or possibly have unspecified other
     impact because a size check is in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c instead of
     fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c (bsc#1176381).
   - CVE-2020-14386: Fixed a memory corruption which could have lead to an
     attacker gaining root privileges from unprivileged processes. The
     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and
     integrity (bsc#1176069).
