This will cause a BUG and denial of     service.(CVE-2019-15807)A vulnerability was found in     Linux kernel's, versions up to 3.10, implementation of     overlayfs. An attacker with local access can create a     denial of service situation via NULL pointer     dereference in ovl_posix_acl_create function in     fs/overlayfs/dir.c. This can allow attackers with     ability to create directories on overlayfs to crash the     kernel creating a denial of service     (DOS).(CVE-2019-10140)In the Linux kernel, a certain     net/ipv4/tcp_output.c change, which was properly     incorporated into 4.16.12, was incorrectly backported     to the earlier longterm kernels, introducing a new     vulnerability that was potentially more severe than the     issue that was intended to be fixed by backporting.
    Specifically, by adding to a write queue between     disconnection and re-connection, a local attacker can     trigger multiple use-after-free conditions. This can     result in a kernel crash, or potentially in privilege     escalation.(CVE-2019-15239)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)drivers     et/wireless/ath/ath10k/usb.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.2.8 has a NULL pointer dereference via an     incomplete address in an endpoint     descriptor.(CVE-2019-15099)drivers     et/wireless/ath/ath6kl/usb.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.2.9 has a NULL pointer dereference via an     incomplete address in an endpoint     descriptor.(CVE-2019-15098)A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation of UART.
