   An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.180-94_150 fixes several issues.

   The following security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2021-0935: In ip6_xmit of ip6_output.c, there is a possible out of
     bounds write 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#1192032)
   - CVE-2021-28688: The fix for XSA-365 includes initialization of pointers     such that subsequent cleanup code wouldn't use uninitialized or stale
     values. This initialization went too far and may under certain
     conditions also overwrite pointers which are in need of cleaning up. The
     lack of cleanup would result in leaking persistent grants. The leak in
     turn would prevent fully cleaning up after a respective guest has died,
     leaving around zombie domains. (bsc#1183646)
