NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-devel-azure package and not the kernel-devel-azure package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

Memory leaks in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering wait_for_completion_timeout() failures. This affects the htc_config_pipe_credits() function, the htc_setup_complete() function, and the htc_connect_service() function, aka CID-853acf7caf10.
