    descriptionThis update is now available for all supported architectures. For reference the original advisory text follows. Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2015-8839 A race condition was found in the ext4 filesystem implementation. A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (filesystem corruption). CVE-2018-14610, CVE-2018-14611, CVE-2018-14612, CVE-2018-14613 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported that crafted Btrfs volumes could trigger a crash (Oops) and/or out-of-bounds memory access. An attacker able to mount such a volume could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2019-5108 Mitchell Frank of Cisco discovered that when the IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) stack was used in AP mode with roaming, it would trigger roaming for a newly associated station before the station was authenticated. An attacker within range of the AP could use this to cause a denial of service, either by filling up a switching table or by redirecting traffic away from other stations. CVE-2019-19319 Jungyeon discovered that a crafted filesystem can cause the ext4 implementation to deallocate or reallocate journal blocks. A user permitted to mount filesystems could use this to cause a denial of service (crash), or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2019-19447 It was discovered that the ext4 filesystem driver did not safely handle unlinking of an inode that, due to filesystem corruption, already has a link count of 0. An attacker able to mount arbitrary ext4 volumes could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2019-19768 Tristan Madani reported a race condition in the blktrace debug facility that could result in a use-after-free. A local user able to trigger removal of block devices could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or for privilege escalation. CVE-2019-20636 The syzbot tool found that the input subsystem did not fully validate keycode changes, which could result in a heap out-of-bounds write. A local user permitted to access the device node for an input or VT device could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or for privilege escalation. CVE-2020-0009 Jann Horn reported that the Android ashmem driver did not prevent read-only files from being memory-mapped and then remapped as read-write. However, Android drivers are not enabled in Debian kernel configurations. CVE-2020-0543 Researchers at VU Amsterdam discovered that on some Intel CPUs supporting the RDRAND and RDSEED instructions, part of a random value generated by these instructions may be used in a later speculative execution on any core of the same physical CPU. Depending on how these instructions are used by applications, a local user or VM guest could use this to obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys from other users or VMs. This vulnerability can be mitigated by a microcode update, either as part of system firmware (BIOS) or through the intel-microcode package in Debian
