CVE-2019-20811
Published: 3 June 2020
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.6. In rx_queue_add_kobject() and netdev_queue_add_kobject() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, a reference count is mishandled, aka CID-a3e23f719f5c.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
Yue Haibing discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle reference counting in sysfs for network devices in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.
