Bug description:
[Impact]
The initial set of Ubuntu kernel updates to address CVE-2019-0155 are
not complete for 64-bit x86 kernels (amd64). The 32-bit x86 kernel
(i386) updates are complete. It may be possible for an attacker to
bypass the mitigations on 64-bit systems.
The following upstream patch is needed:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ea0b163b13ffc52818c079adb00d55e227a6da6f
[Test Case]
Upstream has ran the proposed fix through their regression test suite.
We don't have a reproducer for CVE-2019-0155 so the test case is
simply to ensure that desktop graphics continue to work.
[Regression Potential]
Low, the fix is simple, tested, and, AAUI, the affected code path
should only be legitimately used by the test suite.
