Description:
 A memory leak in the ath10k_usb_hif_tx_sg() function in
 drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/usb.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11
 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by
 triggering usb_submit_urb() failures, aka CID-b8d17e7d93d2.
Ubuntu-Description:
 It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless 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).
