NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-vanilla package and not the kernel-vanilla package as distributed by SLES.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c driver because drivers/media/radio/radio-raremono.c does not properly allocate memory.
