CVE-2019-15099

El archivo drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/usb.c en el kernel de Linux versiones hasta 5.2.8, presenta una desreferencia del puntero NULL por medio de una dirección incompleta en un descriptor de endpoint.

A null pointer dereference flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's implementation of the ath10k USB device driver. The vulnerability requires the attacker to plug in a specially crafted hardware device that present endpoint descriptors that normal ath10k devices do not recognize. System availability is the highest threat with this vulnerability.

It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless USB device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate device metadata. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Virtual Video Test Driver in the Linux kernel. An attacker with write access to /dev/video0 on a system with the vivid module loaded could possibly use this to gain administrative privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
