CVE-2019-15924 [MEDIUM] CWE-476 kernel: null pointer dereference in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_main.c
kernel: null pointer dereference in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_main.c
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.11. fm10k_init_module in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_main.c has a NULL pointer dereference because there is no -ENOMEM upon an alloc_workqueue failure.
A flaw was found in the way the fm10k driver in the Linux kernel reacted to memory-related errors during driver initialization. This flaw allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service and crash the system.
Statement: This issue is rated as having Low impact because of the low memory conditions needed to trigger this issue.
Mitigation: To mitigate this issue, prevent module fm10k from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel modul
