"Stephan van Schaik, Alyssa Milburn, Sebastian Osterlund, Pietro
Frigo, Kaveh Razavi, Herbert Bos, Cristiano Giuffrida, Giorgi
Maisuradze, Moritz Lipp, Michael Schwarz, Daniel Gruss, and Jo Van
Bulck discovered that Intel processors using Transactional
Synchronization Extensions (TSX) could expose memory contents
previously stored in microarchitectural buffers to a malicious process
that is executing on the same CPU core. A local attacker could use
this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2019-11135)

It was discovered that the Intel i915 graphics chipsets allowed
userspace to modify page table entries via writes to MMIO from the
Blitter Command Streamer and expose kernel memory information. A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly
elevate privileges. (CVE-2019-0155)

Deepak Gupta discovered that on certain Intel processors, the Linux
kernel did not properly perform invalidation on page table updates by
virtual guest operating systems. A local attacker in a guest VM could
use this to cause a denial of service (host system crash).
(CVE-2018-12207)

It was discovered that the Intel i915 graphics chipsets could cause a
system hang when userspace performed a read from GT memory mapped
input output (MMIO) when the product is in certain low power states. A
local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2019-0154)

Hui Peng discovered that the Atheros AR6004 USB Wi-Fi device driver
for the Linux kernel did not properly validate endpoint descriptors
returned by the device. A physically proximate attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2019-15098)

It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the 802.11 Wi-Fi
configuration interface for the Linux kernel when handling beacon
settings. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-16746)

Ori Nimron discovered that the AX25 network protocol implementation in
the Linux kernel did not properly perform permissions checks. A local
attacker could use this to create a raw socket. (CVE-2019-17052)

Ori Nimron discovered that the IEEE 802.15.4 Low-Rate Wireless network
protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform
permissions checks. A local attacker could use this to create a raw
socket. (CVE-2019-17053)

Ori Nimron discovered that the Appletalk network protocol
implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform
permissions checks. A local attacker could use this to create a raw
socket. (CVE-2019-17054)

Ori Nimron discovered that the modular ISDN network protocol
implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform
permissions checks. A local attacker could use this to create a raw
socket. (CVE-2019-17055)

Ori Nimron discovered that the Near field Communication (NFC) network
protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform
permissions checks. A local attacker could use this to create a raw
socket. (CVE-2019-17056)

Nico Waisman discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the Realtek
Wi-Fi driver for the Linux kernel when handling Notice of Absence
frames. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2019-17666)

Maddie Stone discovered that the Binder IPC Driver implementation in
the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-2215).
