Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU19946
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1125
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information and elevate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists when certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively access memory. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and elevate privileges on the system.
This issue is a variant of the Spectre Variant 1 speculative execution side channel vulnerability that leverages SWAPGS instructions to bypass KPTI/KVA mitigations.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU23563
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 2.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9500
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the "brcmf_wowl_nd_results()" function in "drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c" file. A remote attacker on the local network can trigger heap-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
