Last modified: 2019-06-04 07:52:43 UTC
CVE-2019-12615 An issue was discovered in get_vdev_port_node_info in arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.6. There is an unchecked kstrdup_const of node_info->vdev_port.name, which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).

This issue affects SPARC CPUs and therefore is not relevant for SUSE/openSUSE as we do not support this architecture. Closing bug as invalid.
