CVE-2019-16230: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 4.7. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_display.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: A third-party software maintainer states that the work queue allocation is happening during device initialization, which for a graphics card occurs during boot. It is not attacker controllable and OOM at that time is highly unlikely

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: version 5.2.14 only
