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.

    CVE-2020-0305     In cdev_get of char_dev.c, there is a possible use-after-free due to a race condition. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-10Android ID: A-153467744     CVE-2020-10732     A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of Userspace core dumps. This flaw allows an     attacker with a local account to crash a trivial program and exfiltrate private kernel data.
    CVE-2020-10751     A flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook implementation before version 5.7, where it     incorrectly assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink message. The hook would incorrectly     only validate the first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the rest of the messages within the     skb with the granted permission without further processing.
    CVE-2020-10773     A stack information leak flaw was found in s390/s390x in the Linux kernels memory manager functionality,     where it incorrectly writes to the /proc/sys/vm/cmm_timeout file. This flaw allows a local user to see the     kernel data.

    CVE-2020-10942     In the Linux kernel before 5.5.8, get_raw_socket in drivers/vhost/net.c lacks validation of an sk_family     field, which might allow attackers to trigger kernel stack corruption via crafted system calls.
    CVE-2020-11565
    ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.2. mpol_parse_str in mm/mempolicy.c     has a stack-based out-of-bounds write because an empty nodelist is mishandled during mount option parsing,     aka CID-aa9f7d5172fa. NOTE: Someone in the security community disagrees that this is a vulnerability     because the issue is a bug in parsing mount options which can only be specified by a privileged user, so     triggering the bug does not grant any powers not already held..
    CVE-2020-11668     In the Linux kernel before 5.6.1, drivers/media/usb/gspca/xirlink_cit.c (aka the Xirlink camera USB     driver) mishandles invalid descriptors, aka CID-a246b4d54770.
    CVE-2020-12465     An array overflow was discovered in mt76_add_fragment in drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/dma.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.5.10, aka CID-b102f0c522cf. An oversized packet with too many rx fragments can     corrupt memory of adjacent pages.
    CVE-2020-12655     An issue was discovered in xfs_agf_verify in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c in the Linux kernel through 5.6.10.
    Attackers may trigger a sync of excessive duration via an XFS v5 image with crafted metadata, aka     CID-d0c7feaf8767.
    CVE-2020-12659     An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.7. xdp_umem_reg in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c has an out-     of-bounds write (by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability) because of a lack of headroom validation.
    CVE-2020-12770     An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.11. sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in a     certain failure case, aka CID-83c6f2390040.
    CVE-2020-12826     A signal access-control issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.5, aka CID-7395ea4e65c2.
    Because exec_id in include/linux/sched.h is only 32 bits, an integer overflow can interfere with a     do_notify_parent protection mechanism. A child process can send an arbitrary signal to a parent process in     a different security domain. Exploitation limitations include the amount of elapsed time before an integer     overflow occurs, and the lack of scenarios where signals to a parent process present a substantial     operational threat.

    CVE-2020-25641     A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of biovecs in versions before 5.9-rc7. A zero-length     biovec request issued by the block subsystem could cause the kernel to enter an infinite loop, causing a     denial of service. This flaw allows a local attacker with basic privileges to issue requests to a block     device, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability.
    CVE-2020-8647     There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vc_do_resize function in     drivers/tty/vt/vt.c.
    CVE-2020-8648     There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the n_tty_receive_buf_common     function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c.
    CVE-2020-8649     There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vgacon_invert_region     function in drivers/video/console/vgacon.c.
