kernel: null pointer dereference in drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.c driver

CVE-2019-15219 [MEDIUM] CWE-476 kernel: null pointer dereference in drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.c driver
kernel: null pointer dereference in drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.c driver
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.c driver.
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the USB2VGA dongles driver in the Linux kernel handled failed initialization. This flaw allows an attacker able to insert USB2VGA dongles into the system to crash the system.
Statement: This issue is rated as having Low impact because of the physical access needed to trigger this issue. Also, failed initialization with the core USB subsystem is also a rare event to hit.
Mitigation: To mitigate this issue, prevent module sisusbvga from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.
