the USN-4301-1 advisory.
It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel, when paravirtual TLB flushes are
enabled in guests, the hypervisor in some situations could miss deferred TLB flushes or otherwise
mishandle them. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose sensitive information (read memory from
another guest VM). (CVE-2019-3016)
Paulo Bonzini discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation in the Linux kernel could improperly let a
nested (level 2) guest access the resources of a parent (level 1) guest in certain situations. An attacker
could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-2732)
It was discovered that the RPMSG character device interface in the Linux kernel did not properly
deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial
of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19053)
It was discovered that the Marvell Wi-Fi device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate
memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of service
(kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19056)
It was discovered that the Intel(R) Wi-Fi device driver in the Linux kernel device driver in the Linux
kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use
this to cause a denial of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19058, CVE-2019-19059)
It was discovered that the Brocade BFA Fibre Channel device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly
deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial
of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19066)
It was discovered that the Realtek RTL8xxx USB Wi-Fi device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly
deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial
of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19068)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
