A flaw was reported in kernel TCP subsystem while calculating a packet round trip time, when a sysctl parameter (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcpminrttwlen) when is set wrongly. This causes an integer over flaw which can lead to a Denial Of Service (DOS) attack.

A memory leak in the cryptoreportstat() function in crypto/cryptouserstat.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering cryptoreportstatalg() failures, aka CID-c03b04dcdba1.
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.19. The XFRM subsystem has a use-after-free, related to an xfrmstatefini panic, aka CID-dbb2483b2a46.
A memory leak in the fastrpcdmabufattach() function in drivers/misc/fastrpc.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering dmagetsgtable() failures, aka CID-fc739a058d99.
In the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted btrfs filesystem image and performing some operations can cause slab-out-of-bounds write access in btrfsmapblock in fs/btrfs/volumes.c, because a value of 1 for the number of data stripes is mishandled.
Out-of-bounds write in the BIOS firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

In the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted btrfs filesystem image, performing some operations, and then making a syncfs system call can lead to a use-after-free in mutexlock in kernel/locking/mutex.c. This is related to mutexcanspinonowner in kernel/locking/mutex.c, btrfsqgroupfreemeta in fs/btrfs/qgroup.c, and btrfsinsertdelayeditems in fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c.
A flaw possibility of race condition and incorrect initialization of the process id was found in the Linux kernel child/parent process identification handling while filtering signal handlers. A local attacker is able to abuse this flaw to bypass checks to send any signal to a privileged process.
In the Linux kernel 5.3.11, mounting a crafted btrfs image twice can cause an rwsemdownwriteslowpath use-after-free because (in rwsemcanspinonowner in kernel/locking/rwsem.c) rwsemownerflags returns an already freed pointer,
