DEBIAN-CVE-2019-19067

Four memory leaks in the acphwinit function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpuacp.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.8 allow attackers to cause a denial of service memory consumption by triggering mfdaddhotplugdevices or pmgenpdadddevice failures, aka CID-57be09c6e874. NOTE: third parties dispute...

CVE-2019-19067

Summary (CVE-2019-19067) Four memory leaks in the acp_hw_init() function of amdgpu/acp.c in the Linux kernel (before 5.3.8) can cause memory consumption and denial of service when mfd_add_hotplug_devices() or pm_genpd_add_device() fail. The issue is reported as exploitable by a local attacker wit...
