The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. (CVE-2020-25641)

  - A flaw was found in the HDLC_PPP module of the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9-rc7. Memory corruption     and a read overflow is caused by improper input validation in the ppp_cp_parse_cr function which can cause     the system to crash or cause a denial of service.
