CVE-2019-19069 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. A memory leak in the fastrpc_dma_buf_attach() function in drivers/misc/fastrpc.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering dma_get_sgtable() failures, aka CID-fc739a058d99.. EPSS estimates a 3.42% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
