DESCRIPTION
* CVE-2019-19533: Information leak in Technotrend/Hauppauge USB DEC driver.
A missing zeroing of memory when doing transfers in Technotrend /
Hauppauge USB DEC driver could lead to an information leak. A local
attacker could use this flaw to gain information about running kernel
and facilitate an attack.
Orabug: 31351119
* CVE-2019-15214: Use-after-free when connecting ALSA cards.
A race condition when connecting an ALSA sound device could result in
prematurely freeing associated data structures. A malicious device might
exploit this to cause a denial-of-service or memory corruption.
Orabug: 31351891
* CVE-2019-19536: Information leak when initializing PCAN-USB device.
When loading a PCAN-USB driver, kernel passes an uninitialized buffer
to the device. This could leak privileged kernel memory to the device
and allow a malicious device to escalate privilege.
Orabug: 31351250
* CVE-2017-16538: Denial-of-service in DVB-USB subsystem.
A missing warm-start check and incorrect attach timing allows local
users to cause a denial of service (general protection fault and system
crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB
device.
Orabug: 31352061
* CVE-2019-19534: Information leak using PEAK PCAN-USB/USB Pro interfaces for CAN 2.0b/CAN-FD.
A missing zeroing of heap buffer passed to user space in PEAK
PCAN-USB/USB Pro interfaces for CAN 2.0b/CAN-FD driver could lead to an
information leak. A local attacker could use this flaw to leak
information about running kernel and facilitate an attack.
Orabug: 31351141
* Incorrect error handling when creating a file on read-only filesystem.
A logic error in the path name lookup mechanism could lead to a wrong
