  - Insufficient control flow in certain data structures for some Intel(R) Processors with Intel(R) Processor
    Graphics may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
    (CVE-2019-14615)

  - In the Linux kernel 4.14 longterm through 4.14.165 and 4.19 longterm through 4.19.96 (and 5.x before 5.2),
    there is a use-after-free (write) in the i915_ppgtt_close function in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c,
    aka CID-7dc40713618c. This is related to i915_gem_context_destroy_ioctl in
    drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_context.c. (CVE-2020-7053)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
