Hi, Jan-san, Siemens team,

There was some query to Siemens about the need of CVE-2020-25284 backporting.

- CVE-2020-25284 is in rbd ( Ceph block device ). 
- it is only fixed for v4.19 and later stable kernels
- Siemens has this built as a module in their 4.4-rt x86 config, but not their 4.19 one

So the question from the Kernel Team is whether Siemens needs its backporting to 4.4-rt or not.

Please take a look about the discussion at the IRC meeting yesterday.

Best regards,
