DESCRIPTION

* Denial-of-service when using Geschwister Schneider UG interfaces.

A missing free when closing USB Geschwister Schneider net device could
lead to a memory leak. A local attacker could use this flaw to exhaust
kernel memory and cause a denial-of-service.


* Denial-of-service when using videobuf2 core framework.

A check error when using videobuf2 core framework could lead to an out
of bound access. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a
denial-of-service.


* Denial-of-service when using context mount options.

A missing check in error path when mounting filesystem with specific
context mount options while SELinux is enabled could lead to a double
free. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.


* Denial-of-service when using independent BSS feature of mac80211.

An error in allocation size when using IBSS could lead to an out of
bound access. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a
denial-of-service.


* Denial-of-service when closing USB gadget FS file.

A logic error when releasing a USB Gadget filesystem file could lead to
a general protection fault or an use-after-free. A local attacker could
use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.


* Denial-of-service when setting alarm timer.

An overflow when setting alarm timer leads to alarm expiring immediately
in a loop, causing a high cpu load. A local attacker could use this flaw
to cause a denial-of-service.
