This will lead to     denial of service in net/appletalk/aarp.c and     net/appletalk/ddp.c, as demonstrated by     unregister_snap_client, aka     CID-9804501fa122.(CVE-2019-19227)A memory leak in the     adis_update_scan_mode() function in     drivers/iio/imu/adis_buffer.c in the Linux kernel     before 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption), aka     CID-ab612b1daf41.(CVE-2019-19060)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.11, there is an info-leak bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     driverset/can/usb/peak_usb/pcan_usb_core.c driver, aka     CID-f7a1337f0d29.(CVE-2019-19534)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.11, there is a use-after-free bug that can     be caused by a malicious USB device in the     driverset/can/usb/mcba_usb.c driver, aka     CID-4d6636498c41.(CVE-2019-19529)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.9, there is a use-after-free bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     driversfc/pn533/usb.c driver, aka     CID-6af3aa57a098.(CVE-2019-19526)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.6, there is a use-after-free bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     driverset/ieee802154/atusb.c driver, aka     CID-7fd25e6fc035.(CVE-2019-19525)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.9, there are multiple out-of-bounds write     bugs that can be caused by a malicious USB device in     the Linux kernel HID drivers, aka CID-d9d4b1e46d95.
    This affects drivers/hid/hid-axff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-dr.c, drivers/hid/hid-emsff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-gaff.c, drivers/hid/hid-holtekff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-lg2ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lg3ff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-lg4ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-logitech-hidpp.c,     drivers/hid/hid-microsoft.c, drivers/hid/hid-sony.c,     drivers/hid/hid-tmff.c, and     drivers/hid/hid-zpff.c.(CVE-2019-19532)In the Linux     kernel before 5.2.10, there is a use-after-free bug     that can be caused by a malicious USB device in the     drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c driver, aka     CID-9c09b214f30e.(CVE-2019-19527)** DISPUTED ** The     Linux kernel through 5.0.7, when CONFIG_IA32_AOUT is     enabled and ia32_aout is loaded, allows local users to     bypass ASLR on setuid a.out programs (if any exist)     because install_exec_creds() is called too late in     load_aout_binary() in fs/binfmt_aout.c, and thus the     ptrace_may_access() check has a race condition when     reading /proc/pid/stat. NOTE: the software maintainer     disputes that this is a vulnerability because ASLR for     a.out format executables has never been     supported.(CVE-2019-11191)In the Linux kernel before     5.3.12, there is a use-after-free bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     drivers/input/ff-memless.c driver, aka     CID-fa3a5a1880c9.(CVE-2019-19524)driverset/wireless/mar     vell/libertas/if_sdio.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does     not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to     a NULL pointer     dereference.(CVE-2019-16232)driverset/fjes/fjes_main.c     in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the     alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer     dereference.(CVE-2019-16231)** DISPUTED **     drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_interrupt.c in the Linux     kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue return     value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: The     security community disputes this issues as not being     serious enough to be deserving a CVE     id.(CVE-2019-16229)Linux kernel CIFS implementation,     version 4.9.0 is vulnerable to a relative paths     injection in directory entry lists.(CVE-2019-10220)A     heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel, all     versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in Marvell WiFi     chip driver. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker     to cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of     service, or execute arbitrary code. The highest threat     with this vulnerability is with the availability of the     system. If code execution occurs, the code will run     with the permissions of root. This will affect both     confidentiality and integrity of files on the     system.(CVE-2019-14901)The Linux kernel before 5.4.2     mishandles ext4_expand_extra_isize, as demonstrated by     use-after-free errors in __ext4_expand_extra_isize and     ext4_xattr_set_entry, related to fs/ext4/inode.c and     fs/ext4/super.c, aka CID-4ea99936a163.(CVE-2019-19767)A     heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux     kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in     Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the     station attempts a connection negotiation during the     handling of the remote devices country settings. This     could allow the remote device to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code.(CVE-2019-14895)Linux Kernel could allow a local     authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information,     caused by a Transaction Asynchronous Abort (TAA) h/w     issue in KVM. By sending a specially-crafted request,     an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain     sensitive information, and use this information to     launch further attacks against the affected     system.(CVE-2019-19338)TSX Asynchronous Abort condition     on some CPUs utilizing speculative execution may allow     an authenticated user to potentially enable information     disclosure via a side channel with local     access.(CVE-2019-11135)An out-of-bounds memory write     issue was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13     through 5.4, in the way the Linux kernel's KVM     hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID'     ioctl(2) request to get CPUID features emulated by the     KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the     '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the     system, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2019-19332)kernel/sched/fair.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.3.9, when cpu.cfs_quota_us is     used (e.g., with Kubernetes), allows attackers to cause     a denial of service against non-cpu-bound applications     by generating a workload that triggers unwanted slice     expiration, aka CID-de53fd7aedb1. (In other words,     although this slice expiration would typically be seen     with benign workloads, it is possible that an attacker     could calculate how many stray requests are required to     force an entire Kubernetes cluster into a     low-performance state caused by slice expiration, and     ensure that a DDoS attack sent that number of stray     requests. An attack does not affect the stability of     the kernel it only causes mismanagement of application     execution.)(CVE-2019-19922)A stack-based buffer     overflow was found in the Linux kernel, version     kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. An attacker     is able to cause a denial of service (system crash) or,     possibly execute arbitrary code, when a STA works in     IBSS mode (allows connecting stations together without     the use of an AP) and connects to another     STA.(CVE-2019-14897)A heap-based buffer overflow     vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel, version     kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. A remote     attacker could cause a denial of service (system crash)     or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when the     lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA     connects to an AP.(CVE-2019-14896)In the Linux kernel     through 5.4.6, there are information leaks of     uninitialized memory to a USB device in the     driverset/can/usb/kvaser_usb/kvaser_usb_leaf.c driver,     aka CID-da2311a6385c.(CVE-2019-19947)In the Linux     kernel before 5.1, there is a memory leak in
    __feat_register_sp() in net/dccp/feat.c, which may     cause denial of service, aka     CID-1d3ff0950e2b.(CVE-2019-20096)mwifiex_tm_cmd in     driverset/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.1.6 has some error-handling cases     that did not free allocated hostcmd memory, aka     CID-003b686ace82. This will cause a memory leak and     denial of service.(CVE-2019-20095)An exploitable     denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the Linux     kernel prior to mainline 5.3. An attacker could exploit     this vulnerability by triggering AP to send IAPP     location updates for stations before the required     authentication process has completed. This could lead     to different denial-of-service scenarios, either by     causing CAM table attacks, or by leading to traffic     flapping if faking already existing clients in other     nearby APs of the same wireless infrastructure. An     attacker can forge Authentication and Association     Request packets to trigger this     vulnerability.(CVE-2019-5108)In a Linux KVM guest that     has PV TLB enabled, a process in the guest kernel may     be able to read memory locations from another process     in the same guest. This problem is limit to the host     running linux kernel 4.10 with a guest running linux     kernel 4.16 or later. The problem mainly affects AMD     processors but Intel CPUs cannot be ruled     out.(CVE-2019-3016)fsamei.c in the Linux kernel before     5.5 has a may_create_in_sticky use-after-free, which     allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS)     or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory, aka CID-d0cb50185ae9. One attack vector may be     an open system call for a UNIX domain socket, if the     socket is being moved to a new parent directory and its     old parent directory is being     removed.(CVE-2020-8428)There is a use-after-free     vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the     n_tty_receive_buf_common function in     drivers/tty_tty.c.(CVE-2020-8648)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.5.6. set_fdc     in drivers/block/floppy.c leads to a wait_til_ready     out-of-bounds read because the FDC index is not checked     for errors before assigning it, aka     CID-2e90ca68b0d2.(CVE-2020-9383)There is a     use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel     through 5.5.2 in the vgacon_invert_region function in     drivers/video/console/vgacon.c.(CVE-2020-8649)There is     a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel     through 5.5.2 in the vc_do_resize function in     drivers/tty/vt/vt.c.(CVE-2020-8647)In the Linux kernel     5.0.21, mounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image,     performing some operations, and unmounting can lead to     a use-after-free in ext4_put_super in fs/ext4/super.c,     related to dump_orphan_list in     fs/ext4/super.c.(CVE-2019-19447)A flaw was discovered     in the way that the KVM hypervisor handled instruction     emulation for an L2 guest when nested virtualisation is     enabled. Under some circumstances, an L2 guest may     trick the L0 guest into accessing sensitive L1     resources that should be inaccessible to the L2     guest.(CVE-2020-2732)In the Linux kernel before 5.3.11,     sound/core/timer.c has a use-after-free caused by     erroneous code refactoring, aka CID-e7af6307a8a5. This     is related to snd_timer_open and     snd_timer_close_locked. The timeri variable was     originally intended to be for a newly created timer     instance, but was used for a different purpose after     refactoring.(CVE-2019-19807)In the Linux kernel     5.4.0-rc2, there is a use-after-free (read) in the
    __blk_add_trace function in kernel/trace/blktrace.c     (which is used to fill out a blk_io_trace structure and     place it in a per-cpu sub-buffer).(CVE-2019-19768)In     the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted f2fs     filesystem image can cause a NULL pointer dereference     in f2fs_recover_fsync_data in fs/f2fs/recovery.c. This     is related to F2FS_P_SB in     fs/f2fs/f2fs.h.(CVE-2019-19815)** DISPUTED **
    __btrfs_free_extent in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c in the     Linux kernel through 5.3.12 calls btrfs_print_leaf in a     certain ENOENT case, which allows local users to obtain     potentially sensitive information about register values     via the dmesg program. NOTE: The BTRFS development team     disputes this issues as not being a vulnerability     because '1) The kernel provide facilities to restrict     access to dmesg - dmesg_restrict=1 sysctl option. So     it's really up to the system administrator to judge     whether dmesg access shall be disallowed or not. 2)     WARN/WARN_ON are widely used macros in the linux     kernel. If this CVE is considered valid this would mean     there are literally thousands CVE lurking in the kernel
    - something which clearly is not the     case.'(CVE-2019-19039)ext4_empty_dir in fs/ext4amei.c     in the Linux kernel through 5.3.12 allows a NULL     pointer dereference because     ext4_read_dirblock(inode,0,DIRENT_HTREE) can be     zero.(CVE-2019-19037)btrfs_root_node in     fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.12     allows a NULL pointer dereference because     rcu_dereference(root->node) can be     zero.(CVE-2019-19036)In the Linux kernel 4.19.83, there     is a use-after-free (read) in the debugfs_remove     function in fs/debugfs/inode.c (which is used to remove     a file or directory in debugfs that was previously     created with a call to another debugfs function such as     debugfs_create_file).(CVE-2019-19770)An issue was     discovered in slc_bump in driverset/can/slcan.c in the     Linux kernel through 5.6.2. It allows attackers to read     uninitialized can_frame data, potentially containing     sensitive information from kernel stack memory, if the     configuration lacks CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL, aka     CID-b9258a2cece4.(CVE-2020-11494)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.2.

When an encrypted tunnel is created between     two hosts, the kernel isn't correctly routing tunneled     data over the encrypted link rather sending the data     unencrypted. This would allow anyone in between the two     endpoints to read the traffic unencrypted. The main     threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-1749)An issue was discovered     in the stv06xx subsystem in the Linux kernel before     5.6.1. drivers/media/usb/gspca/stv06xx/stv06xx.c and     drivers/media/usb/gspca/stv06xx/stv06xx_pb0100.c     mishandle invalid descriptors, as demonstrated by a     NULL pointer dereference, aka     CID-485b06aadb93.(CVE-2020-11609)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.1.
    drivers/media/usb/gspca/ov519.c allows NULL pointer     dereferences in ov511_mode_init_regs and     ov518_mode_init_regs when there are zero endpoints, aka     CID-998912346c0d.(CVE-2020-11608)In the Linux kernel     before 5.4.12, drivers/input/input.c has out-of-bounds     writes via a crafted keycode table, as demonstrated by     input_set_keycode, aka     CID-cb222aed03d7.(CVE-2019-20636)In the Linux kernel     before 5.6.1, drivers/media/usb/gspca/xirlink_cit.c     (aka the Xirlink camera USB driver) mishandles invalid     descriptors, aka CID-a246b4d54770.(CVE-2020-11668)An     issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.2.

This flaw     allows an attacker with local access to crash the     system.(CVE-2020-10720)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel's implementation of the invert video code on VGA     consoles when a local attacker attempts to resize the     console, calling an ioctl VT_RESIZE, which causes an     out-of-bounds write to occur. This flaw allows a local     user with access to the VGA console to crash the     system, potentially escalating their privileges on the     system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-14331)An out-of-bounds (OOB)     memory access flaw was found in ttm_put_pages in     drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc.c in the Linux     kernel's graphics module. Incrementing the page pointer     for huge pages was not in sync with the reference     counter, and this could lead to an out-of-bounds access     or a denial of service. This flaw allows a local     attacker with special user privileges (or root) to     cause memory exploitation.(CVE-2019-19927)

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the     Linux kernel's Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could     occur when the station attempts a connection     negotiation during the handling of the remote devices     country settings. This could allow the remote device to     cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2019-14895)

  - A flaw was found in the fix for CVE-2019-11135, the way     Intel CPUs handle speculative execution of instructions     when a TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA) error occurs. When     a guest is running on a host CPU affected by the TAA     flaw (TAA_NO=0), but is not affected by the MDS issue     (MDS_NO=1), the guest was to clear the affected buffers     by using a VERW instruction mechanism. But when the     MDS_NO=1 bit was exported to the guests, the guests did     not use the VERW mechanism to clear the affected     buffers. This issue affects guests running on Cascade     Lake CPUs and requires that host has 'TSX' enabled.
    Confidentiality of data is the highest threat     associated with this vulnerability.(CVE-2019-19338)

  - A flaw was found in the way Intel CPUs handle     speculative execution of instructions when the TSX     Asynchronous Abort (TAA) error occurs. A local     authenticated attacker with the ability to monitor     execution times could infer the TSX memory state by     comparing abort execution times. This could allow     information disclosure via this observed side-channel     for any TSX transaction being executed while an     attacker is able to observe abort timing. Intel's     Transactional Synchronisation Extensions (TSX) are set     of instructions which enable transactional memory     support to improve performance of the multi-threaded     applications, in the lock-protected critical sections.
    The CPU executes instructions in the critical-sections     as transactions, while ensuring their atomic state.
    When such transaction execution is unsuccessful, the     processor cannot ensure atomic updates to the     transaction memory, so the processor rolls back or     aborts such transaction execution. While TSX     Asynchronous Abort (TAA) is pending, CPU may continue     to read data from architectural buffers and pass it to     the dependent speculative operations. This may cause     information leakage via speculative side-channel means,     which is quite similar to the Microarchitectural Data     Sampling (MDS) issue.(CVE-2019-11135)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the     way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled the     'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request to get CPUID     features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user or     process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device could use     this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2019-19332)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's scheduler, where     it can allow attackers to cause a denial of service     against non-CPU-bound applications by generating a     workload that triggers unwanted scheduling slice     expiration. A local attacker who can trigger a specific     workload type could abuse this technique to trigger a     system to be seen as degraded, and possibly trigger     workload-rebalance in systems that use the     slice-expiration metric as a measure of system     health.(CVE-2019-19922)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the Linux     kernel's Marvell WiFi chip driver. An attacker is able     to cause a denial of service (system crash) or,     possibly execute arbitrary code, when a STA works in     IBSS mode (allows connecting stations together without     the use of an AP) and connects to another     STA.(CVE-2019-14897)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in     the Linux kernel's Marvell WiFi chip driver. A remote     attacker could cause a denial of service (system crash)     or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when the     lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA     connects to an AP.(CVE-2019-14896)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions     through 5.4.6, containing information leaks of     uninitialized memory to a USB device. The latest     findings show that the uninitialized memory allocation     was not leading to an information leak, but was     allocating the memory assigned with data on the next     line and hence causing no violation..(CVE-2019-19947)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). A     local attacker with access to the system can create     DCCP sockets to cause a memory leak and repeat this     operation to exhaust all memory and panic the     system.(CVE-2019-20096)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mwifiex driver     implementation when connecting to other WiFi devices in     'Test Mode.' A kernel memory leak can occur if an error     condition is met during the parameter negotiation. This     issue can lead to a denial of service if multiple error     conditions meeting the repeated connection attempts are     attempted.(CVE-2019-20095)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the WiFi station handoff code. An attacker within     the radio range could use this flaw to deny a valid     device from joining the access point.(CVE-2019-5108)

  - A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM     hypervisor handled deferred TLB flush requests from     guest. A race condition may occur between the guest     issuing a deferred TLB flush request to KVM, and then     KVM handling and acknowledging it. This may result in     invalid address translations from TLB being used to     access guest memory, leading to a potential information     leakage issue. An attacker may use this flaw to access     guest memory locations that it should not have access     to.(CVE-2019-3016)

  - fs/namei.c in the Linux kernel before 5.5 has a     may_create_in_sticky use-after-free, which allows local     users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) or possibly     obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka     CID-d0cb50185ae9. One attack vector may be an open     system call for a UNIX domain socket, if the socket is     being moved to a new parent directory and its old     parent directory is being removed.(CVE-2020-8428)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux     kernel through 5.5.2 in the n_tty_receive_buf_common     function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c.(CVE-2020-8648)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.5.6. set_fdc in drivers/block/floppy.c leads to a     wait_til_ready out-of-bounds read because the FDC index     is not checked for errors before assigning it, aka     CID-2e90ca68b0d2.(CVE-2020-9383)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux     kernel through 5.5.2 in the vgacon_invert_region     function in     drivers/video/console/vgacon.c.(CVE-2020-8649)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux     kernel through 5.5.2 in the vc_do_resize function in     drivers/tty/vt/vt.c.(CVE-2020-8647)

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):In the Linux kernel     4.19.83, there is a use-after-free (read) in the     debugfs_remove function in fs/debugfs/inode.c (which is     used to remove a file or directory in debugfs that was     previously created with a call to another debugfs     function such as     debugfs_create_file).(CVE-2019-19770)mwifiex_tm_cmd in     driverset/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.1.6 has some error-handling cases     that did not free allocated hostcmd memory, aka     CID-003b686ace82. This will cause a memory leak and     denial of service.(CVE-2019-20095)TSX Asynchronous     Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing speculative     execution may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable information disclosure via a side     channel with local access.(CVE-2019-11135)A memory leak     in the crypto_report() function in     crypto/crypto_user_base.c in the Linux kernel through     5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption) by triggering crypto_report_alg()     failures, aka CID-ffdde5932042.(CVE-2019-19062)In the     Linux kernel before 5.1.6, there is a use-after-free in     serial_ir_init_module() in     drivers/media/rc/serial_ir.c.(CVE-2019-19543)In the     Linux kernel through 5.4.6, there is a NULL pointer     dereference in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_discover.c     because of mishandling of port disconnection during     discovery, related to a PHY down race condition, aka     CID-f70267f379b5.(CVE-2019-19965)In the Linux kernel     before 5.1.6, there is a use-after-free in cpia2_exit()     in drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_v4l.c that will cause     denial of service, aka     CID-dea37a972655.(CVE-2019-19966)An issue was     discovered in drivers/xen/balloon.c in the Linux kernel     before 5.2.3, as used in Xen through 4.12.x, allowing     guest OS users to cause a denial of service because of     unrestricted resource consumption during the mapping of     guest memory, aka CID-6ef36ab967c7.(CVE-2019-17351)A     memory leak in the crypto_reportstat() function in     drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_utils.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (memory consumption) by triggering     copy_form_user() failures, aka     CID-e0b0cb938864.(CVE-2019-19048)kernel/sched/fair.c in     the Linux kernel before 5.3.9, when cpu.cfs_quota_us is     used (e.g., with Kubernetes), allows attackers to cause     a denial of service against non-cpu-bound applications     by generating a workload that triggers unwanted slice     expiration, aka CID-de53fd7aedb1. (In other words,     although this slice expiration would typically be seen     with benign workloads, it is possible that an attacker     could calculate how many stray requests are required to     force an entire Kubernetes cluster into a     low-performance state caused by slice expiration, and     ensure that a DDoS attack sent that number of stray     requests. An attack does not affect the stability of     the kernel it only causes mismanagement of application     execution.)(CVE-2019-19922)An out-of-bounds memory     write issue was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13     through 5.4, in the way the Linux kernel's KVM     hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID'     ioctl(2) request to get CPUID features emulated by the     KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the     '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the     system, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2019-19332)A flaw was found in the fix for     CVE-2019-11135, the way Intel CPUs handle speculative     execution of instructions when a TSX Asynchronous Abort     (TAA) error occurs. When a guest is running on a host     CPU affected by the TAA flaw (TAA_NO=0), but is not     affected by the MDS issue (MDS_NO=1), the guest was to     clear the affected buffers by using a VERW instruction     mechanism. But when the MDS_NO=1 bit was exported to     the guests, the guests did not use the VERW mechanism     to clear the affected buffers. This issue affects     guests running on Cascade Lake CPUs and requires that     host has 'TSX' enabled. Confidentiality of data is the     highest threat associated with this     vulnerability.(CVE-2019-19338)In the Linux kernel     5.0.0-rc7 (as distributed in ubuntu/linux.git on     kernel.ubuntu.com), mounting a crafted f2fs filesystem     image and performing some operations can lead to     slab-out-of-bounds read access in ttm_put_pages in     drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc.c.
