CVE-2019-19045
A memory leak in the mlx5_fpga_conn_create_cq() function in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/fpga/conn.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mlx5_vector2eqn()…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.56%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
