Chuhong Yuan discovered that go7007 USB audio device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in some failure conditions. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service memory exhaustion. CVE-2019-20810 Fan Yang discovered that the mremap...

Amazon Linux 2 : kernel (ALAS-2020-1480)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.192-147.314. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1480 advisory. 2024-06-19: CVE-2020-14356 was added to this advisory. The Serial Attached SCSI SAS implementation in the Linux...

Important: kernel

Issue Overview: The Serial Attached SCSI SAS implementation in the Linux kernel mishandles a mutex within libsas. This allows local users to cause a denial of service deadlock by triggering certain error-handling code. CVE-2017-18232 The xfsbmapextentstobtree function in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfsbmap.c i...

CVE-2019-0155

A flaw was found in the Intel graphics hardware GPU, where a local attacker with the ability to issue commands to the GPU could inadvertently lead to memory corruption and possible privilege escalation. The attacker could use the GPU blitter to perform privilege MMIO operations, not limited to th...

CVE-2020-14416

A use-after-free flaw was found in slcanwritewakeup in drivers/net/can/slcan.c in the serial CAN module slcan.
