Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.

Software Description:
– linux: Linux kernel

Details:

Paulo Bonzini discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation in the
Linux kernel could improperly let a nested (level 2) guest access the
resources of a parent (level 1) guest in certain situations. An attacker
could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-2732)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your livepatches to the following
versions:
