An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4147-1 advisory.

  - Insufficient access control in the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software driver before version 21.10 may     allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access. (CVE-2019-0136)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation of UART, all versions kernel 3.x.x before     4.18.0 and kernel 5.x.x. An attacker with local access and write permissions to the Bluetooth hardware     could use this flaw to issue a specially crafted ioctl function call and cause the system to crash.
    (CVE-2019-10207)

  - In parse_hid_report_descriptor in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.1, a     malicious USB device can send an HID report that triggers an out-of-bounds write during generation of     debugging messages. (CVE-2019-13631)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/scsi/qedi/qedi_dbg.c in the Linux kernel before 5.1.12. In the     qedi_dbg_* family of functions, there is an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2019-15090)

  - parse_audio_mixer_unit in sound/usb/mixer.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9 mishandles a short     descriptor, leading to out-of-bounds memory access. (CVE-2019-15117)

  - check_input_term in sound/usb/mixer.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9 mishandles recursion, leading to     kernel stack exhaustion. (CVE-2019-15118)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c driver because drivers/media/radio/radio-raremono.c     does not properly allocate memory. (CVE-2019-15211)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a double-free caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/usb/misc/rio500.c driver. (CVE-2019-15212)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_usb.c driver. (CVE-2019-15215)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.3. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a     malicious USB device in the drivers/media/usb/zr364xx/zr364xx.c driver. (CVE-2019-15217)

  - 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/media/usb/siano/smsusb.c driver. (CVE-2019-15218)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.1. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/p54usb.c driver. (CVE-2019-15220)

  - 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. (CVE-2019-15221)

  - 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 sound/usb/line6/driver.c driver. (CVE-2019-15223)

  - An issue was discovered in xfs_setattr_nonsize in fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9. XFS     partially wedges when a chgrp fails on account of being out of disk quota. xfs_setattr_nonsize is failing     to unlock the ILOCK after the xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve call fails. This is primarily a local DoS attack     vector, but it might result as well in remote DoS if the XFS filesystem is exported for instance via NFS.
    (CVE-2019-15538)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.3. An out of bounds access exists in the function     hclge_tm_schd_mode_vnet_base_cfg in the file drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns3/hns3pf/hclge_tm.c.
    (CVE-2019-15925)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.3. Out of bounds access exists in the functions     ath6kl_wmi_pstream_timeout_event_rx and ath6kl_wmi_cac_event_rx in the file     drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/wmi.c. (CVE-2019-15926)

  - The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key     length and does not prevent an attacker from influencing the key length negotiation. This allows practical     brute-force attacks (aka KNOB) that can decrypt traffic and inject arbitrary ciphertext without the     victim noticing. (CVE-2019-9506)
