It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-20054 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-20054/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-20054/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-20054","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-20054/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-20054","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2019-20054","GHSA-jgf2-2xcw-5gxx","UBUNTU-CVE-2019-20054"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel allows local attackers to cause a system crash via the proc filesystem.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"},{"product":"8300_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"8700_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"a400_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"active_iq_unified_manager","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"cloud_backup","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"data_availability_services","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"e-series_santricity_os_controller","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"fas\\/aff_baseboard_management_controller","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"h610s_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"solidfire_\\\u0026_hci_management_node","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"solidfire_baseboard_management_controller","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"steelstore_cloud_integrated_storage","vendor":"netapp"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel before 5.0.6, there is a NULL pointer dereference in drop_sysctl_table() in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c, related to put_links, aka CID-23da9588037e.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-20054","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel","netapp:active_iq_unified_manager","netapp:cloud_backup","netapp:data_availability_services","netapp:e-series_santricity_os_controller","netapp:h610s_firmware","netapp:solidfire_\\\u0026_hci_management_node","netapp:steelstore_cloud_integrated_storage"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Server-side request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-20055"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-20053"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-12-28","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel allows local attackers to cause a system crash via the proc filesystem.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-20054/"}
