    It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the 802.11 Wi-Fi configuration interface for the Linux
    kernel when handling beacon settings. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
    crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-16746)

    Nicolas Waisman discovered that the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel did not properly validate SSID
    lengths. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2019-17133)

    It was discovered that the ADIS16400 IIO IMU Driver for the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate
    memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory
    exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19060)

    It was discovered that the Intel OPA Gen1 Infiniband Driver for the Linux kernel did not properly
    deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of
    service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19065)

    It was discovered that the Cascoda CA8210 SPI 802.15.4 wireless controller driver for the Linux kernel did
    not properly deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a
    denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19075)

    Nicolas Waisman discovered that the Chelsio T4/T5 RDMA Driver for the Linux kernel performed DMA from a
    kernel stack. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
