   An update that fixes three vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.143-94_47 fixes several issues.

   The following security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2019-9213: Expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacked a check for the mmap
     minimum address, which made it easier for attackers to exploit kernel
     NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a
     capability check for the wrong task (bsc#1128378).
   - CVE-2019-7221: Fixed a user-after-free vulnerability in the KVM
     hypervisor related to the emulation of a preemption timer, allowing an
     guest user/process to crash the host kernel. (bsc#1124734).
   - CVE-2019-6974: kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c mishandled
     reference counting because of a race condition, leading to a
     use-after-free (bsc#1124729).
