CVE-2019-15291 [MEDIUM] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly clear data
structures on context switches for certain Intel graphics processors. A
local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
(CVE-2019-14615)
It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless USB device driver in
the Linux kernel did not properly validate device metadata. A physically
proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2019-15099)
It was discovered that the HSA Linux kernel driver for AMD GPU devices did
not properly check for errors in certain situations, leading to a NULL
pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a

kernel: memory leak in sof_set_get_large_ctrl_data() function in sound/soc/sof/ipc.c
A memory leak in the sof_set_get_large_ctrl_data() function in sound/soc/sof/ipc.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering sof_get_ctrl_copy_params() failures, aka CID-45c1380358b1.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s
sof_set_get_large_ctrl_data function, in the way it handled memory cleanup in a specific error path. A local attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.
Mitigation: As the snd-sof module will be auto-loaded when required, its use can be disabled by preventing the module from loading with the following instructions:
# echo "install snd-sof /bin/true" >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-snd-sof.conf
