DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2018-1000026: Denial-of-service when receiving invalid packet on
bnx2x network card.

A missing input validation when receiving invalid packet on bnx2x
network card could lead to network outage. A remote attacker could use
this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.

Orabug: 28094432

* CVE-2021-3564: Use-after-free when initializing bluetooth HCI device.

A flaw in the bluetooth Host Controller Interface handling could result
in a use-after-free if a device fails initialization. A malicious local
device or user might exploit this to cause a denial-of-service.

* CVE-2019-19813: Invalid memory accesses during btrfs filesystem sync.

A failure to properly validate certain metadata in a btrfs filesystem
image can lead to out-of-bounds writes and use-after-free issues. Using
a specially crafted btrfs image, a local attacker could potentially
exploit these flaws to escalate privilege or cause other unexpected
behavior, including a denial-of-service.

Orabug: 31864610

* CVE-2019-10207: NULL pointer dereference in Bluetooth TTY operations.

A missing check in some Bluetooth drivers could lead to a NULL
