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.
In the Linux kernel, picknextrtentity() may return a type confused entry, not detected by the BUGON condition, as the confused entry will not be NULL, but listhead.The buggy error condition would lead to a type confused entry with the list head,which would then be used as a type confused schedrtentity,causing memory corruption.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of dropping sysctl entries. A local attacker who has access to load modules on the system can trigger a condition during module load failure and panic the system.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mwifiex driver implementation when connecting to other WiFi devices in "Test Mode." A kernel memory leak can occur if an error condition is met during the parameter negotiation. This issue can lead to a denial of service if multiple error conditions meeting the repeated connection attempts are attempted.

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.
NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory leak when a CMAC key is used and associated with a CMAC algorithm in the ntp.keys file in ntpd. By sending specially-crafted packets, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to consume all available memory resources.
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,
