  - In the AppleTalk subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.1, there is a potential NULL pointer dereference
    because register_snap_client may return NULL. This will lead to denial of service in net/appletalk/aarp.c
    and net/appletalk/ddp.c, as demonstrated by unregister_snap_client, aka CID-9804501fa122. (CVE-2019-19227)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
