    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2019-2182 Hanjun Guo and Lei Li reported a race condition in the arm64 virtual memory management code, which could lead to an information disclosure, denial of service (crash), or possibly privilege escalation. CVE-2019-5108 Mitchell Frank of Cisco discovered that when the IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) stack was used in AP mode with roaming, it would trigger roaming for a newly associated station before the station was authenticated. An attacker within range of the AP could use this to cause a denial of service, either by filling up a switching table or by redirecting traffic away from other stations. CVE-2019-19319 Jungyeon discovered that a crafted filesystem can cause the ext4 implementation to deallocate or reallocate journal blocks. A user permitted to mount filesystems could use this to cause a denial of service (crash), or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2019-19462 The syzbot tool found a missing error check in the
