The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the i2400m_op_rfkill_sw_toggle() function in drivers/net/wimax/i2400m/op-rfkill.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-6f3ef5c25cc7. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.
7) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19056)
CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the "mwifiex_pcie_alloc_cmdrsp_buf()" function in "drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c" file. A remote attacker on the local network can cause a denial of service condition (memory consumption) by triggering "mwifiex_map_pci_memory()" failures.
8) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19066)
CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within __feat_register_sp() in net/dccp/feat.c, which may cause denial of service, aka CID-1d3ff0950e2b. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.
12) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-5108)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel prior to mainline 5.3. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by triggering AP to send IAPP location updates for stations before the required authentication process has completed. This could lead to different denial-of-service scenarios, either by causing CAM table attacks, or by leading to traffic flapping if faking already existing clients in other nearby APs of the same wireless infrastructure. An attacker can forge Authentication and Association Request packets to trigger this vulnerability.
