The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
Security Fix(es):
Kernel: KVM: error in exception handling leads to wrong debug stack value (CVE-2018-1087)
Kernel: error in exception handling leads to DoS (CVE-2018-8897)
Kernel: ipsec: xfrm: use-after-free leading to potential privilege escalation (CVE-2017-16939)
kernel: Out-of-bounds write via userland offsets in ebt_entry struct in netfilter/ebtables.c (CVE-2018-1068)
kernel: ptrace() incorrect error handling leads to corruption and DoS (CVE-2018-1000199)
kernel: guest kernel crash during core dump on POWER9 host (CVE-2018-1091)
