Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

CVE-2018-13093, CVE-2018-13094

Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported several NULL pointer dereference flaws that may be triggered when mounting and operating a crafted XFS volume. An attacker able to mount arbitrary XFS volumes could use this to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-20976

It was discovered that the XFS file-system implementation did not correctly handle some mount failure conditions, which could lead to a use-after-free. The security impact of this is unclear.

CVE-2018-21008

It was discovered that the rsi wifi driver did not correctly handle some failure conditions, which could lead to a use-after- free. The security impact of this is unclear.

CVE-2019-0136

It was discovered that the wifi soft-MAC implementation (mac80211) did not properly authenticate Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS) messages.
A nearby attacker could use this for denial of service (loss of wifi connectivity).

CVE-2019-2215

The syzkaller tool discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the Android binder driver. A local user on a system with this driver enabled could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. However, this driver is not enabled on Debian packaged kernels.

CVE-2019-10220

Various developers and researchers found that if a crafted file- system or malicious file server presented a directory with filenames including a '/' character, this could confuse and possibly defeat security checks in applications that read the directory.

The kernel will now return an error when reading such a directory, rather than passing the invalid filenames on to user-space.

CVE-2019-14615

It was discovered that Intel 9th and 10th generation GPUs did not clear user-visible state during a context switch, which resulted in information leaks between GPU tasks. This has been mitigated in the i915 driver.

The affected chips (gen9 and gen10) are listed at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_graphics_proces sing_units#Gen9>.

CVE-2019-19068: A memory leak in the rtl8xxxu_submit_int_urb() function in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering usb_submit_urb() failures, aka CID-a2cdd07488e6 (bnc#1157307).

CVE-2019-19062: A memory leak in the crypto_report() function in crypto/crypto_user_base.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering crypto_report_alg() failures, aka CID-ffdde5932042 (bnc#1157333).

CVE-2019-19227: In the AppleTalk subsystem, there is a potential NULL pointer dereference because register_snap_client may return NULL. 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 (bnc#1157678).

CVE-2019-11135: Aborting an asynchronous TSX operation on Intel CPUs with Transactional Memory support could be used to facilitate sidechannel information leaks out of microarchitectural buffers, similar to the previously described 'Microarchitectural Data Sampling' attack.

The Linux kernel was supplemented with the option to disable TSX operation altogether (requiring CPU Microcode updates on older systems) and better flushing of microarchitectural buffers (VERW).
