SUSE-SU-2019:0761-1

Description of the patch:

This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.175-94_79 fixes one issue.

The following security issue was fixed:

• CVE-2019-9213: Expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacked a check for the mmap minimum address, which made it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task (bsc#1128378).
