Summary
Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2019-19965: In the Linux kernel through 5.4.6, there is a NULL pointer dereference in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_discover.c because of mishandling of port disconnection during discovery, related to a PHY down race condition, aka CID-f70267f379b5. CVE-2019-19332: An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request to get CPUID features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service. CVE-2019-19062: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The crypto_report function mishandles resource cleanup on error. A local attacker able to induce the error conditions could use this flaw to crash the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
