"M. Vefa Bicakci and Andy Lutomirski discovered that the kernel did not
properly set up all arguments to an error handler callback used when
running as a paravirtualized guest. An unprivileged attacker in a
paravirtualized guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service
(guest VM crash). (CVE-2018-14678)

It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel on
ARM 64bit processors did not properly handle some ioctls. An attacker
with the privilege to create KVM-based virtual machines could use this
to cause a denial of service (host system crash) or execute arbitrary
code in the host. (CVE-2018-18021)

Mathias Payer and Hui Peng discovered a use-after-free vulnerability
in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) subsystem. A
physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2018-19824)

Shlomi Oberman, Yuli Shapiro, and Ran Menscher discovered an
information leak in the Bluetooth implementation of the Linux kernel.
An attacker within Bluetooth range could use this to expose sensitive
information (kernel memory). (CVE-2019-3459, CVE-2019-3460)

Jann Horn discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel
contained a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM
with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service
(guest VM crash). (CVE-2019-6974)

Jim Mattson and Felix Wilhelm discovered a use-after-free
vulnerability in the KVM subsystem of the Linux kernel, when using
nested virtual machines. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this
to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code in the host system. (CVE-2019-7221)

Felix Wilhelm discovered that an information leak vulnerability
existed in the KVM subsystem of the Linux kernel, when nested
virtualization is used. A local attacker could use this to expose
sensitive information (host system memory to a guest VM).
(CVE-2019-7222)

Jann Horn discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel
was insufficiently hardened against Spectre V1 attacks. A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
(CVE-2019-7308)

It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the
user- space API for crypto (af_alg) implementation in the Linux
kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-8912)

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate
memory when handling certain errors while reading files. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (excessive memory
consumption). (CVE-2019-8980)

Jann Horn discovered that the mmap implementation in the Linux kernel
did not properly check for the mmap minimum address in some
situations. A local attacker could use this to assist exploiting a
kernel NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. (CVE-2019-9213).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
