+<define-tag description>LTS new package</define-tag>
+<define-tag moreinfo>
+<p>Linux 4.19 has been packaged for Debian 9 as linux-4.19. This
+provides a supported upgrade path for systems that currently use
+kernel packages from the "stretch-backports" suite.</p>
+
+<p>There is no need to upgrade systems using Linux 4.9, as that kernel
+version will also continue to be supported in the LTS period.</p>
+
+<p>This backport does not include the following binary packages:</p>
+
+<blockquote>hyperv-daemons libbpf-dev libbpf4.19 libcpupower-dev libcpupower1
+liblockdep-dev liblockdep4.19 linux-compiler-gcc-6-arm
+linux-compiler-gcc-6-x86 linux-cpupower linux-libc-dev lockdep
+usbip</blockquote>
+
+<p>Older versions of most of those are built from the linux source
+package in Debian 9.</p>
+
+<p>The kernel images and modules will not be signed for use on systems
+with Secure Boot enabled, as there is no support for this in Debian 9.</p>
+
+<p>Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
+may lead to a denial of service or information leak.</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2019-18814">CVE-2019-18814</a>
+
+ <p>Navid Emamdoost reported a potential use-after-free in the
+ AppArmor security module, in the case that audit rule
+ initialisation fails. The security impact of this is unclear.</p></li>
+
+<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2019-18885">CVE-2019-18885</a>
+
+ <p>The <q>bobfuzzer</q> team discovered that crafted Btrfs volumes could
+ trigger a crash (oops). An attacker able to mount such a volume
+ could use this to cause a denial of service.</p></li>
+
+<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2019-20810">CVE-2019-20810</a>
+
+ <p>A potential memory leak was discovered in the go7007 media driver.
+ The security impact of this is unclear.</p></li>
+
+<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-10766">CVE-2020-10766</a>
+
+ <p>Anthony Steinhauser reported a flaw in the mitigation for
+ Speculative Store Bypass (<a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2018-3639">CVE-2018-3639</a>) on x86 CPUs. A local
+ user could use this to temporarily disable SSB mitigation in other
+ users' tasks. If those other tasks run sandboxed code, this would
+ allow that code to read sensitive information in the same process
+ but outside the sandbox.</p></li>
+
+<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-10767">CVE-2020-10767</a>
+
+ <p>Anthony Steinhauser reported a flaw in the mitigation for Spectre
+ variant 2 (<a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-5715">CVE-2017-5715</a>) on x86 CPUs. Depending on which other
+ mitigations the CPU supports, the kernel might not use IBPB to
+ mitigate Spectre variant 2 in user-space. A local user could use
+ this to read sensitive information from other users' processes.</p></li>
+
+<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-10768">CVE-2020-10768</a>
+
+ <p>Anthony Steinhauser reported a flaw in the mitigation for Spectre
+ variant 2 (<a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-5715">CVE-2017-5715</a>) on x86 CPUs. After a task force disabled indirect branch speculation through prctl(), it could
+ still re-enable it later, so it was not possible to override a
+ program that explicitly enabled it.</p></li>
+
+<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-12655">CVE-2020-12655</a>
+
+ <p>Zheng Bin reported that crafted XFS volumes could trigger a system
+ hang. An attacker able to mount such a volume could use this to
+ cause a denial of service.</p></li>
+
+<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-12771">CVE-2020-12771</a>
+
+ <p>Zhiqiang Liu reported a bug in the bcache block driver that could
+ lead to a system hang. The security impact of this is unclear.</p></li>
+
+<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-13974">CVE-2020-13974</a>
+
+ <p>Kyungtae Kim reported a potential integer overflow in the vt
+ (virtual terminal) driver. The security impact of this is
+ unclear.</p></li>
+
+<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-15393">CVE-2020-15393</a>
+
+ <p>Kyungtae Kim reported a memory leak in the usbtest driver. The
+ security impact of this is unclear.</p></li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>For Debian 9 <q>Stretch</q>, these problems have been fixed in version
+4.19.132-1~deb9u1. This update additionally fixes Debian bugs
