Summary
Updated kernel packages fixes security and other bugs
Details

This kernel update is based on upstream 4.9.40 and fixes at least the following security issues:

Linux kernel built with the VirtIO GPU driver(CONFIGDRMVIRTIOGPU) support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while creating a virtio gpu object in virtiogpuobjectcreate(). A user/process could use this flaw to leak host kernel memory potentially resulting in Dos (CVE-2017-10810).

It also contains followup fixes to the Stack Clash (CVE-2017-1000370, CVE-2017-1000371) security issues resolved in kernels released at end of June, 2017.

Other Mageia kernel specific fixes in this updates: - enable support for NFS41 and NFS42 (mga#21182) - ALSA: hda/realtek - New codecs support for ALC215/ALC285/ALC289 - ALSA: hda/realtek - New codec device ID for ALC1220 - platform/x86: asus-nb-wmi: Add wapf4 quirk for the X302UA (mga#18756)
