A memory leak in the fsl_lpspi_probe() function in drivers/spi/spi-fsl-lpspi.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering pm_runtime_get_sync() failures, aka CID-057b8945f78f. NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of this because an attacker cannot realistically control these failures at probe time

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-003791 advisory.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4300-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel, when paravirtual TLB flushes are     enabled in guests, the hypervisor in some situations could miss deferred TLB flushes or otherwise     mishandle them. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose sensitive information (read memory from     another guest VM). (CVE-2019-3016)

    Paulo Bonzini discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation in the Linux kernel could improperly let a     nested (level 2) guest access the resources of a parent (level 1) guest in certain situations. An attacker     could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-2732)

    It was discovered that the Afatech AF9005 DVB-T USB device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial     of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-18809)

    It was discovered that the Intel(R) XL710 Ethernet Controller device driver in the Linux kernel did not     properly deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause     a denial of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19043)

    It was discovered that the RPMSG character device interface in the Linux kernel did not properly     deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial     of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19053)

    It was discovered that the Marvell Wi-Fi device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate     memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of service     (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19056)

    It was discovered that the Intel(R) Wi-Fi device driver in the Linux kernel device driver in the Linux     kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use     this to cause a denial of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19058, CVE-2019-19059)

    It was discovered that the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) driver in the Linux kernel device driver in     the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could     possibly use this to cause a denial of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19064)

    It was discovered that the Brocade BFA Fibre Channel device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial     of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19066)

    It was discovered that the Realtek RTL8xxx USB Wi-Fi device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial     of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19068)
