CVE-2019-19046: Fedoraproject Fedora

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 2.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A memory leak in the __ipmi_bmc_register() function in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering ida_simple_get() failure, aka CID-4aa7afb0ee20. NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of this because an attacker cannot realistically control this failure at probe time

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 30 only; version 31 only
• Linux Linux Kernel: up to and including 5.3.11
• Opensuse Leap: version 15.1 only
