Description:
 A memory leak in the af9005_identify_state() function in
 drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/af9005.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.9 allows
 attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka
 CID-2289adbfa559.
Ubuntu-Description:
 It was discovered that the Afatech AF9005 DVB-T USB device driver in the
 Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain error
 conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
 service (kernel memory exhaustion).
Notes:
