NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-4.19 package and not the linux-4.19 package as distributed by Debian.

A memory leak in the cx23888_ir_probe() function in drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23888-ir.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering kfifo_alloc() failures, aka CID-a7b2df76b42b.
