Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Race condition
EUVDB-ID: #VU31080
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20836
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20. There is a race condition in smp_task_timedout() and smp_task_done() in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c, leading to a use-after-free.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Use-after-free
EUVDB-ID: #VU24172
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15917
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when hci_uart_register_dev() fails in hci_uart_set_proto() in drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c. A remote attacker with physical proximity to the system can send specially crafted Bluetoth data and execute arbitrary code.
