drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/usb.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.8 has a NULL pointer dereference via an incomplete address in an endpoint descriptor.
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.
Mitigation: As the ath10k module will be auto-loaded when required, its use can be disabled by preventing the module from loading using the following instructions.

CVE-2019-15099 kernel: a NULL pointer dereference in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/usb.c leads to a crash
A flaw in the Linux kernels implementation of the ath10k USB device driver could allow an attacker with the ability to plug in custom-crafted hardware to create a null pointer dereference via an incomplete address in an endpoint descriptor.
This will crash the system.
