"The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-4225-2 advisory.

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before
    4.18.0, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the station attempts a connection
    negotiation during the handling of the remote devices country settings. This could allow the remote device
    to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14895)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel, version kernel-2.6.32, in
    Marvell WiFi chip driver. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service (system crash) or, possibly
    execute arbitrary code, when the lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA connects to an AP.
    (CVE-2019-14896)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the Linux kernel, version kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip
    driver. An attacker is able to cause a denial of service (system crash) or, possibly execute arbitrary
    code, when a STA works in IBSS mode (allows connecting stations together without the use of an AP) and
    connects to another STA. (CVE-2019-14897)

  - A heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in Marvell
    WiFi chip driver. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a
    denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. The highest threat with this vulnerability is with the
    availability of the system. If code execution occurs, the code will run with the permissions of root. This
    will affect both confidentiality and integrity of files on the system. (CVE-2019-14901)

  - drivers/net/fjes/fjes_main.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue return value,
    leading to a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2019-16231)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.4.1 on powerpc allows Information Exposure because the Spectre-RSB mitigation is
    not in place for all applicable CPUs, aka CID-39e72bf96f58. This is related to
    arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S and arch/powerpc/kernel/security.c. (CVE-2019-18660)

  - A memory leak in the dwc3_pci_probe() function in drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-pci.c in the Linux kernel through
    5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering
    platform_device_add_properties() failures, aka CID-9bbfceea12a8. (CVE-2019-18813)

  - A memory leak in the mlx5_fpga_conn_create_cq() function in
    drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/fpga/conn.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.11 allows attackers to
    cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mlx5_vector2eqn() failures, aka
    CID-c8c2a057fdc7. (CVE-2019-19045)

  - A memory leak in the i2400m_op_rfkill_sw_toggle() function in drivers/net/wimax/i2400m/op-rfkill.c in the
    Linux kernel before 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka
    CID-6f3ef5c25cc7. (CVE-2019-19051)

  - A memory leak in the gs_can_open() function in drivers/net/can/usb/gs_usb.c in the Linux kernel before
    5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering usb_submit_urb()
    failures, aka CID-fb5be6a7b486. (CVE-2019-19052)

  - A memory leak in the nl80211_get_ftm_responder_stats() function in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux
    kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering
    nl80211hdr_put() failures, aka CID-1399c59fa929. NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of this because
    it occurs on a code path where a successful allocation has already occurred (CVE-2019-19055)

  - A memory leak in the predicate_parse() function in kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c in the Linux kernel
    through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-96c5c6e6a5b6.
    (CVE-2019-19072)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.12, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB
    device in the drivers/input/ff-memless.c driver, aka CID-fa3a5a1880c9. (CVE-2019-19524)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.11, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB
    device in the drivers/net/can/usb/mcba_usb.c driver, aka CID-4d6636498c41. (CVE-2019-19529)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.11, there is an info-leak bug that can be caused by a malicious USB device
    in the drivers/net/can/usb/peak_usb/pcan_usb_core.c driver, aka CID-f7a1337f0d29. (CVE-2019-19534)
