• CVE-2020-14353: Fixed an issue where keys - for keyctl prevent creating a different user's keyrings (bsc#1174993).
• CVE-2020-14381: Fixed requeue paths such that filp was valid when dropping the references (bsc#1176011).
• CVE-2020-27068: Fixed an out-of-bounds read due to a missing bounds check in the nl80211_policy policy of nl80211.c (bnc#1180086).
• CVE-2020-27777: Fixed a privilege escalation in the Run-Time Abstraction Services (RTAS) interface, affecting guests running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (bnc#1179107).
• CVE-2020-27786: Fixed an out-of-bounds write in the MIDI implementation (bnc#1179601).
• CVE-2020-29660: Fixed a locking inconsistency in the tty subsystem that may have allowed a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID (bnc#1179745).
• CVE-2020-29661: Fixed a locking issue in the tty subsystem that allowed a use-after-free attack against TIOCSPGRP (bsc#1179745).
• CVE-2020-28974: Fixed a slab-out-of-bounds read in fbcon which could have been used by local attackers to read privileged information or potentially crash the kernel (bsc#1178589).
• CVE-2020-28915: Fixed a buffer over-read in the fbcon code which could have been used by local attackers to read kernel memory (bsc#1178886).
• CVE-2020-25669: Fixed a use-after-free read in sunkbd_reinit() (bsc#1178182).
• CVE-2020-25285: A race condition between hugetlb sysctl handlers in mm/hugetlb.c could be used by local attackers to corrupt memory, cause a NULL pointer dereference, or possibly have unspecified other impact (bnc#1176485 ).
• CVE-2020-15437: Fixed a null pointer dereference which could have allowed local users to cause a denial of service (bsc#1179140).
