Title: Linux kernel regression
Summary: USN 4115-1 introduced a regression in the Linux kernel.
USN 4115-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux 4.15 kernel for Ubuntu
18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Unfortunately, as part of the update,
a regression was introduced that caused a kernel crash when handling
fragmented packets in some situations. This update addresses the issue.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

CVE-2019-15221 [MEDIUM] CWE-119 kernel: Null pointer dereference in the sound/usb/line6/pcm.c
kernel: Null pointer dereference in the sound/usb/line6/pcm.c
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.17. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the sound/usb/line6/pcm.c driver.
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the LINE6 drivers in the Linux kernel allocated buffers for USB packets. This flaw allows an attacker with physical access to 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.
Mitigation: To mitigate this issue, prevent module snd-usb-line6 from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
