CVE-2019-18813

Published: 7 November 2019

A memory leak in the dwc3_pci_probe() function in drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-pci.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering platform_device_add_properties() failures, aka CID-9bbfceea12a8.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that the DesignWare USB3 controller driver in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in some error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).
