CVE-2019-19530: There was a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c driver (bnc#1158410).

CVE-2019-19536: There was an info-leak bug that can be caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/net/can/usb/peak_usb/pcan_usb_pro.c driver (bnc#1158394).

CVE-2019-14901: A heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel in Marvell WiFi chip driver. The vulnerability allowed 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 (bnc#1157042).

CVE-2019-19077: A memory leak in the bnxt_re_create_srq() function in drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/ib_verbs.c in the Linux kernel allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering copy to udata failures (bnc#1157171).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.
