Sorry, missed 4 security fixes, of wich one is critical enough for a rebuild, so a -2.mga6 is building

Keywords: (none) => feedback

So the security fixes I added is for kvm and the mvifiex driver, nothing else
so as long as it still installs and boots properly, it should be all good to go

description: |
  This kernel update is based on the upstream 5.2.16 and fixes atleast
  the following security issues:

  There is heap-based buffer overflow in the marvell wifi chip driver that
  allows local users to cause a denial of service(system crash) or possibly
  execute arbitrary code (CVE-2019-14814, CVE-2019-14815, CVE-2019-14816).

  An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM
  hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates on
  an MMIO ring buffer 'struct kvm_coalesced_mmio' object, wherein write
  indices 'ring->first' and 'ring->last' value could be supplied by a host
  user-space process. An unprivileged host user or process with access to
  '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the host kernel, resulting
  in a denial of service or potentially escalating privileges on the system
  (CVE-2019-14821).

  A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost
  functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer
  descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass
  descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway,
  could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the host
  (CVE-2019-14835).

  WireGuard has been updated to 0.0.20190913.

  For other uptstream fixes in this update, see the referenced changelogs.
