Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18810)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the "komeda_wb_connector_add()" function in drivers/gpu/drm/arm/display/komeda/komeda_wb_connector.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.8 allows a local user to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering "drm_writeback_connector_init()" failures.
2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19075)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the "ca8210_probe()" function in drivers/net/ieee802154/ca8210.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.8 allows a local user to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering "ca8210_get_platform_data()" failures.
3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19083)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the "clock_source_create()" functions under drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc in the Linux kernel before 5.3.8 allow a local user to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).
This vulnerability affects the following functions:
- dce112_clock_source_create() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dce112/dce112_resource.c
- dce100_clock_source_create() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dce100/dce100_resource.c
- dcn10_clock_source_create() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dcn10/dcn10_resource.c
- dcn20_clock_source_create() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dcn20/dcn20_resource.c
- dce120_clock_source_create() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dce120/dce120_resource.c
- dce110_clock_source_create() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dce110/dce110_resource.c
