CVE-2019-18809

Una pérdida de memoria en la función af9005_identify_state() en el archivo drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/af9005.c en el kernel de Linux versiones hasta 5.3.9, permite a atacantes causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria), también se conoce como CID-2289adbfa559.

A flaw was found in the Afatech 9005 DVB-T receiver driver in the Linux kernel. An attacker, with physical access to the system, could cause the system to crash following a resource cleanup. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel, when paravirtual TLB flushes are enabled in guests, the hypervisor in some situations could miss deferred TLB flushes or otherwise mishandle them. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose sensitive information. Paulo Bonzini discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation in the Linux kernel could improperly let a nested guest access the resources of a parent guest in certain situations. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.
