CVE-2019-19081
A memory leak in the nfp_flower_spawn_vnic_reprs() function in drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/flower/main.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-8ce39eb5a67a.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.26%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
