Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2019-11-27 15:22:39 UTC 
Two memory leaks in the sja1105_static_config_upload() function in drivers/net/dsa/sja1105/sja1105_spi.c in the Linux kernel attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering static_config_buf_prepare_for_upload() or sja1105_inhibit_tx() failures.
