Important: kernel security update (Amazon Linux 2)

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2019-9213: A flaw was found in mmap in the Linux kernel allowing the process to map a null page. This allows attackers to abuse this mechanism to turn null pointer dereferences into workable exploits. 1686136: CVE-2019-9213 kernel: lack of check for mmap minimum address in expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c leads to NULL pointer dereferences exploit on non-SMAP platforms CVE-2019-8980: A kernel memory leak was found in the kernel_read_file() function in the fs/exec.c file in the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a memory leak and thus a denial of service (DoS). 1679972: CVE-2019-8980 kernel: memory leak in the kernel_read_file function in fs/exec.c allows to cause a denial of service
