Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Linux Kernel up to 5.3.9 (Operating System). This affects the function dwc3_pci_probe of the file drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-pci.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a resource consumption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-400. The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource, thereby enabling an actor to influence the amount of resources consumed, eventually leading to the exhaustion of available resources. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

A memory leak in the dwc3_pci_probe() function in drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-pci.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering platform_device_add_properties() failures, aka CID-9bbfceea12a8.

The weakness was disclosed 11/07/2019. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2019-18813 since 11/07/2019. The exploitability is told to be easy.
