description-logoDescription

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): kernel: information exposure in drivers/char/random.c and kernel/time/timer.c (CVE-2020-16166) 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. Bug Fix(es): Backport upstream OVS performance patch fix (BZ#1879935) Sleeping or scheduling after sched_cpu_dying() led to "scheduling while atomic" and BUG at kernel/cpu.c:907!
