CVE-2019-19060: A memory leak in the adis_update_scan_mode() function in drivers/iio/imu/adis_buffer.c in the Linux kernel...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2019-19060 is a Linux kernel memory leak that can let an attacker consume memory and cause denial of service on affected systems. The public record places the flaw before Linux 5.3.9. Business urgency depends on whether vulnerable kernels and the relevant IIO ADIS IMU driver code are present. Likely exposure is systems running Linux kernels before 5.3.9, including vendor-packaged kernels covered by Ubuntu, SUSE, and NetApp advisories. Practical exposure may depend on whether the affected industrial I/O ADIS IMU driver path is built, loaded, or reachable. Treat this as a routine-to-priority availability fix, not an emergency based on the supplied evidence. Escalate if vulnerable kernels run on operationally critical systems, appliances, or embedded devices where denial of service would disrupt business operations. Mitigation focus: Update to a vendor kernel containing the fix for CVE-2019-19060.; Check Ubuntu, SUSE, NetApp, or your distribution advisory for fixed package versions.; If updates are delayed, review whether the affected ADIS IIO driver is needed..
