Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Accessing, Modifying or Executing Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's configuration that allows an attacker to either directly access an executable file, for example through shell access; or in a possible worst case allows an attacker to upload a file and then execute it. Web servers, ftp servers, and message oriented middleware systems which have many integration points are particularly vulnerable, because both the programmers and the administrators must be in synch regarding the interfaces and the correct privileges for each interface.
  • Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files, when the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high. The attack can be directed at a client system, such as causing buffer overrun through loading seemingly benign image files, as in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 where specially crafted JPEG files could cause a buffer overrun once loaded into the browser. Another example targets clients reading pdf files. In this case the attacker simply appends javascript to the end of a legitimate url for a pdf (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/danger-danger-danger/) http://path/to/pdf/file.pdf#whatever_name_you_want=javascript:your_code_here The client assumes that they are reading a pdf, but the attacker has modified the resource and loaded executable javascript into the client's browser process. The attack can also target server processes. The attacker edits the resource or configuration file, for example a web.xml file used to configure security permissions for a J2EE app server, adding role name "public" grants all users with the public role the ability to use the administration functionality. The server trusts its configuration file to be correct, but when they are manipulated, the attacker gains full control.
  • Blue Boxing
    This type of attack against older telephone switches and trunks has been around for decades. A tone is sent by an adversary to impersonate a supervisor signal which has the effect of rerouting or usurping command of the line. While the US infrastructure proper may not contain widespread vulnerabilities to this type of attack, many companies are connected globally through call centers and business process outsourcing. These international systems may be operated in countries which have not upgraded Telco infrastructure and so are vulnerable to Blue boxing. Blue boxing is a result of failure on the part of the system to enforce strong authorization for administrative functions. While the infrastructure is different than standard current applications like web applications, there are historical lessons to be learned to upgrade the access control for administrative functions.
  • Restful Privilege Elevation
    Rest uses standard HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permissions methods, but these are not necessarily correlated generally with back end programs. Strict interpretation of HTTP get methods means that these HTTP Get services should not be used to delete information on the server, but there is no access control mechanism to back up this logic. This means that unless the services are properly ACL'd and the application's service implementation are following these guidelines then an HTTP request can easily execute a delete or update on the server side. The attacker identifies a HTTP Get URL such as http://victimsite/updateOrder, which calls out to a program to update orders on a database or other resource. The URL is not idempotent so the request can be submitted multiple times by the attacker, additionally, the attacker may be able to exploit the URL published as a Get method that actually performs updates (instead of merely retrieving data). This may result in malicious or inadvertent altering of data on the server.
  • Target Programs with Elevated Privileges
    This attack targets programs running with elevated privileges. The attacker would try to leverage a bug in the running program and get arbitrary code to execute with elevated privileges. For instance an attacker would look for programs that write to the system directories or registry keys (such as HKLM, which stores a number of critical Windows environment variables). These programs are typically running with elevated privileges and have usually not been designed with security in mind. Such programs are excellent exploit targets because they yield lots of power when they break. The malicious user try to execute its code at the same level as a privileged system call.

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - The powermate_probe function in drivers/input/misc/powermate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted endpoints value in a USB device descriptor.(CVE-2016-2186) - The snd_compr_tstamp function in sound/core/compress_offload.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not properly initialize a timestamp data structure, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application, aka Android internal bug 28770164 and Qualcomm internal bug CR568717.(CVE-2014-9892) - A memory leak in the cx23888_ir_probe() function in drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23888-ir.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering kfifo_alloc() failures, aka CID-a7b2df76b42b.(CVE-2019-19054) - A memory leak in the adis_update_scan_mode() function in drivers/iio/imu/adis_buffer.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-ab612b1daf41.(CVE-2019-19060) - A memory leak in the adis_update_scan_mode_burst() function in drivers/iio/imu/adis_buffer.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-9c0530e898f3.(CVE-2019-19061) - A memory leak in the crypto_report() function in crypto/crypto_user_base.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering crypto_report_alg() failures, aka CID-ffdde5932042.(CVE-2019-19062) - A memory leak in the ccp_run_sha_cmd() function in drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-ops.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-128c66429247.(CVE-2019-18808) - In ashmem_ioctl of ashmem.c, there is an out-of-bounds write due to insufficient locking when accessing asma. This could lead to a local elevation of privilege enabling code execution as a privileged process with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-66954097.(CVE-2017-13216) - A certain backport in the TCP Fast Open implementation for the Linux kernel before 3.18 does not properly maintain a count value, which allow local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via the Fast Open feature, as demonstrated by visiting the chrome://flags/#enable-tcp-fast-open URL when using certain 3.10.x through 3.16.x kernel builds, including longterm-maintenance releases and ckt (aka Canonical Kernel Team) builds.(CVE-2015-3332) - The rtnl_fill_link_ifmap function in net/core/rtnetlink.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a Netlink message.(CVE-2016-4486) - The ip6gre_err function in net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c in the Linux kernel allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors involving GRE flags in an IPv6 packet, which trigger an out-of-bounds access.(CVE-2017-5897) - In the Linux kernel before version 4.12, Kerberos 5 tickets decoded when using the RXRPC keys incorrectly assumes the size of a field. This could lead to the size-remaining variable wrapping and the data pointer going over the end of the buffer. This could possibly lead to memory corruption and possible privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-7482) - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel where an attacker may be able to have an uncontrolled read to kernel-memory from within a vm guest. A race condition between connect() and close() function may allow an attacker using the AF_VSOCK protocol to gather a 4 byte information leak or possibly intercept or corrupt AF_VSOCK messages destined to other clients.(CVE-2018-14625) - drivers/net/usb/asix_devices.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16647) - A memory leak in the ql_alloc_large_buffers() function in drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering pci_dma_mapping_error() failures, aka CID-1acb8f2a7a9f.(CVE-2019-18806) - An issue was discovered in the fd_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.7. The floppy driver will copy a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM ioctl. An attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the obtained kernel pointer to discover the location of kernel code and data and bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR.(CVE-2018-7755) - The usbvision driver in the Linux kernel package 3.10.0-123.20.1.el7 through 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via a nonzero bInterfaceNumber value in a USB device descriptor.(CVE-2015-7833) - A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network.(CVE-2019-3846) - drivers/net/wireless/marvell/libertas/if_sdio.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-16232) - drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-16234) - drivers/net/fjes/fjes_main.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-16231) - Insufficient access control in the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software driver before version 21.10 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access.(CVE-2019-0136) - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead to memory corruption and possibly other consequences.(CVE-2019-10126) - The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key length and does not prevent an attacker from influencing the key length negotiation. This allows practical brute-force attacks (aka

  - In ashmem_ioctl of ashmem.c, there is an out-of-bounds
    write due to insufficient locking when accessing asma.
    This could lead to a local elevation of privilege
    enabling code execution as a privileged process with no
    additional execution privileges needed. User
    interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product:
    Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID:
    A-66954097.(CVE-2017-13216)

  - A certain backport in the TCP Fast Open implementation
    for the Linux kernel before 3.18 does not properly
    maintain a count value, which allow local users to
    cause a denial of service (system crash) via the Fast
    Open feature, as demonstrated by visiting the
    chrome://flags/#enable-tcp-fast-open URL when using
    certain 3.10.x through 3.16.x kernel builds, including
    longterm-maintenance releases and ckt (aka Canonical
    Kernel Team) builds.(CVE-2015-3332)

  - The rtnl_fill_link_ifmap function in

    does not initialize a certain data structure, which
    allows local users to obtain sensitive information from
    kernel stack memory by reading a Netlink
    message.(CVE-2016-4486)

  - The ip6gre_err function in net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c in the
    Linux kernel allows remote attackers to have
    unspecified impact via vectors involving GRE flags in
    an IPv6 packet, which trigger an out-of-bounds
    access.(CVE-2017-5897)

  - In the Linux kernel before version 4.12, Kerberos 5
    tickets decoded when using the RXRPC keys incorrectly
    assumes the size of a field. This could lead to the
    size-remaining variable wrapping and the data pointer
    going over the end of the buffer. This could possibly
    lead to memory corruption and possible privilege
    escalation.(CVE-2017-7482)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel where an attacker
    may be able to have an uncontrolled read to
    kernel-memory from within a vm guest. A race condition
    between connect() and close() function may allow an
    attacker using the AF_VSOCK protocol to gather a 4 byte
    information leak or possibly intercept or corrupt
    AF_VSOCK messages destined to other
    clients.(CVE-2018-14625)

  - drivers/net/usb/asix_devices.c in the Linux kernel
    through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of
    service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or

  - An issue was discovered in the fd_locked_ioctl function
    in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through
    4.15.7. The floppy driver will copy a kernel pointer to
    user memory in response to the FDGETPRM ioctl. An
    attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the
    obtained kernel pointer to discover the location of
    kernel code and data and bypass kernel security
    protections such as KASLR.(CVE-2018-7755)

  - The usbvision driver in the Linux kernel package
    3.10.0-123.20.1.el7 through 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7 in Red
    Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.1 allows physically
    proximate attackers to cause a denial of service
    (panic) via a nonzero bInterfaceNumber value in a USB
    device descriptor.(CVE-2015-7833)

  - A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and
    possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex
    kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless
    network.(CVE-2019-3846)

  - drivers/net/wireless/marvell/libertas/if_sdio.c in the

    dereference.(CVE-2019-16234)

  - drivers/net/fjes/fjes_main.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14
    does not check the alloc_workqueue return value,
    leading to a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-16231)

  - Insufficient access control in the Intel(R)
    PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software driver before version
    21.10 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially
    enable denial of service via adjacent
    access.(CVE-2019-0136)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based
    buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function
    in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead
    to memory corruption and possibly other
    consequences.(CVE-2019-10126)

  - The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including
    version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key
    length and does not prevent an attacker from
    influencing the key length negotiation. This allows
    practical brute-force attacks (aka 'KNOB') that can
    decrypt traffic and inject arbitrary ciphertext without
    the victim noticing.(CVE-2019-9506)

  - An issue was discovered in net/wireless/nl80211.c in
    the Linux kernel through 5.2.17. It does not check the
    length of variable elements in a beacon head, leading
    to a buffer overflow.(CVE-2019-16746)

  - In the hidp_process_report in bluetooth, there is an
    integer overflow. This could lead to an out of bounds
    write with no additional execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID:
    A-65853588 References: Upstream kernel.(CVE-2018-9363)

  - An issue was discovered in write_tpt_entry in
    drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/mem.c in the Linux kernel
    through 5.3.2. The cxgb4 driver is directly calling
    dma_map_single (a DMA function) from a stack variable.
    This could allow an attacker to trigger a Denial of
    Service, exploitable if this driver is used on an
    architecture for which this stack/DMA interaction has
    security relevance.(CVE-2019-17075)

  - rtl_p2p_noa_ie in
    drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in the Linux
    kernel through 5.3.6 lacks a certain upper-bound check,
    leading to a buffer overflow.(CVE-2019-17666)

  - arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c in the Linux kernel before
    3.13 on ARM platforms, as used in Android before
    2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not
    prevent executable DMA mappings, which might allow
    local users to gain privileges via a crafted
    application, aka Android internal bug 28803642 and
    Qualcomm internal bug CR642735.(CVE-2014-9888)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c
    in the Linux kernel before 4.14.15. There is an out of
    bounds write in the function
    i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated.(CVE-2017-18551)

  - The rds_ib_xmit function in net/rds/ib_send.c in the
    Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation
    in the Linux kernel 3.7.4 and earlier allows local
    users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON and kernel
    panic) by establishing an RDS connection with the
    source IP address equal to the IPoIB interface's own IP
    address, as demonstrated by rds-ping.(CVE-2012-2372)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.3.2,
    cfg80211_mgd_wext_giwessid in net/wireless/wext-sme.c
    does not reject a long SSID IE, leading to a Buffer
    Overflow.(CVE-2019-17133)

  - A memory leak in the bfad_im_get_stats() function in
    drivers/scsi/bfa/bfad_attr.c in the Linux kernel
    through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of
    service (memory consumption) by triggering
    bfa_port_get_stats() failures, aka
    CID-0e62395da2bd.(CVE-2019-19066)

  - The kernel in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 7
    (2013) devices allows attackers to gain privileges via

  - arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0
    allows local users to bypass the 'strict page
    permissions' protection mechanism and modify the
    system-call table, and consequently gain privileges, by
    leveraging write access.(CVE-2015-8967)

  - arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c in the Linux kernel
    before 4.1 on arm64 platforms allows local users to
    gain privileges or cause a denial of service (invalid
    pointer dereference) via vectors involving events that
    are mishandled during a span of multiple HW
    PMUs.(CVE-2015-8955)

  - The __clear_user function in
    arch/arm64/lib/clear_user.S in the Linux kernel before
    3.17.4 on the ARM64 platform allows local users to
    cause a denial of service (system crash) by reading one
    byte beyond a /dev/zero page boundary.(CVE-2014-7843)

  - The x86/fpu (Floating Point Unit) subsystem in the
    Linux kernel before 4.13.5, when a processor supports
    the xsave feature but not the xsaves feature, does not
    correctly handle attempts to set reserved bits in the
    xstate header via the ptrace() or rt_sigreturn() system
    call, allowing local users to read the FPU registers of
    other processes on the system, related to
    arch/x86/kernel/fpu/regset.c and
    arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c.(CVE-2017-15537)

  - The Linux kernel before 3.11 on ARM platforms, as used
    in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013)
    devices, does not properly consider user-space access
    to the TPIDRURW register, which allows local users to
    gain privileges via a crafted application, aka Android
    internal bug 28749743 and Qualcomm internal bug
    CR561044.(CVE-2014-9870)

  - ** DISPUTED ** Race condition in the
    store_int_with_restart() function in
    arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c in the Linux kernel
    through 4.15.7 allows local users to cause a denial of
    service (panic) by leveraging root access to write to
    the check_interval file in a
    /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck
    directory. NOTE: a third party has indicated that this
    report is not security relevant.(CVE-2018-7995)

  - arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S in the Linux kernel through
    3.15.1 on 32-bit x86 platforms, when syscall auditing
    is enabled and the sep CPU feature flag is set, allows
    local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS and
    system crash) via an invalid syscall number, as
    demonstrated by number 1000.(CVE-2014-4508)

  - arch/x86/kernel/tls.c in the Thread Local Storage (TLS)
    implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1
    allows local users to bypass the espfix protection
    mechanism, and consequently makes it easier for local
    users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism, via a
    crafted application that makes a set_thread_area system
    call and later reads a 16-bit value.(CVE-2014-8133)

  - arch/mips/include/asm/thread_info.h in the Linux kernel
    before 3.14.8 on the MIPS platform does not configure
    _TIF_SECCOMP checks on the fast system-call path, which
    allows local users to bypass intended PR_SET_SECCOMP
    restrictions by executing a crafted application without
    invoking a trace or audit subsystem.(CVE-2014-4157)

  - Integer signedness error in the oz_hcd_get_desc_cnf
    function in drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c in the
    OZWPAN driver in the Linux kernel through 4.0.5 allows

    packet.(CVE-2015-4001)

  - drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozusbsvc1.c in the OZWPAN driver
    in the Linux kernel through 4.0.5 does not ensure that
    certain length values are sufficiently large, which
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (system crash or large loop) or possibly execute
    arbitrary code via a crafted packet, related to the (1)
    oz_usb_rx and (2) oz_usb_handle_ep_data
    functions.(CVE-2015-4002)

  - The oz_usb_handle_ep_data function in
    drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozusbsvc1.c in the OZWPAN driver
    in the Linux kernel through 4.0.5 allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero
    error and system crash) via a crafted
    packet.(CVE-2015-4003)

  - The OZWPAN driver in the Linux kernel through 4.0.5
    relies on an untrusted length field during packet
    parsing, which allows remote attackers to obtain
    sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a
    denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash)
    via a crafted packet.(CVE-2015-4004)

  - Race condition in the sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function in
    drivers/s390/char/sclp_ctl.c in the Linux kernel before
    4.6 allows local users to obtain sensitive information
    from kernel memory by changing a certain length value,
    aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability.(CVE-2016-6130)

  - The print_binder_transaction_ilocked function in
    drivers/android/binder.c in the Linux kernel 4.14.90
    allows local users to obtain sensitive address
    information by reading '*from *code *flags' lines in a

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.1.4, a buffer overflow
    occurs when checking userspace params in
    drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. The maximum size
    for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the userspace
    API. However, the code allows larger values such as
    23.(CVE-2015-9289)

  - The saa7164_bus_get function in
    drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-bus.c in the Linux
    kernel through 4.11.5 allows local users to cause a
    denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or
    possibly have unspecified other impact by changing a
    certain sequence-number value, aka a 'double fetch'
    vulnerability.(CVE-2017-8831)

"According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the
EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is
affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A buffer overflow was discovered in tpacket_rcv()
    function in the Linux kernel since v4.6-rc1 through
    v4.13. A number of socket-related syscalls can be made
    to set up a configuration when each packet received by
    a network interface can cause writing up to 10 bytes to
    a kernel memory outside of a kernel buffer. This can
    cause unspecified kernel data corruption effects,
    including damage of in-memory and on-disk XFS
    data.(CVE-2017-14497i1/4%0

  - The qmi_wwan_bind function in
    drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c in the Linux kernel through
    4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service
    (divide-by-zero error and system crash) or possibly
    have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB
    device.(CVE-2017-16650i1/4%0

  - A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux
    kernel's SCTP implementation handled sctp_accept()
    during the processing of heartbeat timeout events. A
    remote attacker could use this flaw to prevent further
    connections to be accepted by the SCTP server running
    on the system, resulting in a denial of
    service.(CVE-2015-8767i1/4%0

  - A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux
    kernel's KVM subsystem handled PIT (Programmable
    Interval Timer) emulation. A guest user who has access
    to the PIT I/O ports could use this flaw to crash the
    host.(CVE-2014-3611i1/4%0

  - The Linux kernel is vulnerable to a memory leak in the
    drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c:hwsim_new_radio_n
    l() function. An attacker could exploit this to cause a
    potential denial of service.(CVE-2018-8087i1/4%0

  - An integer underflow flaw was found in the way the
    Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol
    (SCTP) implementation processed certain COOKIE_ECHO
    packets. By sending a specially crafted SCTP packet, a
    remote attacker could use this flaw to prevent
    legitimate connections to a particular SCTP server
    socket to be made.(CVE-2014-4667i1/4%0

  - The cx231xx_usb_probe function in
    drivers/media/usb/cx231xx/cx231xx-cards.c in the Linux
    kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a
    denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system
    crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
    crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16536i1/4%0

  - The snd_usb_create_streams function in sound/usb/card.c
    in the Linux kernel, before 4.13.6, allows local users
    to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and
    system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact
    via a crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16529i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's random number
    generator API. A null pointer dereference in the
    rngapi_reset function may result in denial of service,
    crashing the system.(CVE-2017-15116i1/4%0

  - The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in
    net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel, through
    4.14.4, does not restrict observations of Netlink
    messages to a single net namespace, when CONFIG_NLMON
    is enabled. This allows local users to obtain sensitive
    information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability
    to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on
    the system.(CVE-2017-17449i1/4%0

  - arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c in the Linux kernel
    before 4.1 on arm64 platforms allows local users to
    gain privileges or cause a denial of service (invalid
    pointer dereference) via vectors involving events that
    are mishandled during a span of multiple HW
    PMUs.(CVE-2015-8955i1/4%0

  - The aac_compat_ioctl function in
    drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c in the Linux kernel before
    3.11.8 does not require the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability,
    which allows local users to bypass intended access
    restrictions via a crafted ioctl call.(CVE-2013-6383i1/4%0

  - Linux kernel before version 4.16-rc7 is vulnerable to a
    null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit() function
    in net/dccp/output.c in that allows a local user to
    cause a denial of service by a number of certain
    crafted system calls.(CVE-2018-1130i1/4%0

  - The Linux kernel is vulerable to a use-after-free flaw
    when Transformation User configuration
    interface(CONFIG_XFRM_USER) compile-time configuration
    were enabled. This vulnerability occurs while closing a
    xfrm netlink socket in xfrm_dump_policy_done. A
    user/process could abuse this flaw to potentially
    escalate their privileges on a
    system.(CVE-2017-16939i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in
    function rds_inc_info_copy of file net/rds/recv.c. The
    last field 'flags' of object 'minfo' is not
    initialized. This can leak data previously at the flags
    location to userspace.(CVE-2016-5244i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the kernel's ACPI interpreter when
    it does not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel
    stack dump. This allows local users to obtain sensitive
    information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR
    protection mechanism.(CVE-2017-13693i1/4%0

  - It was found that kernel/events/core.c in the Linux
    kernel mishandles counter grouping, which allows local
    users to gain privileges via a crafted application,
    related to the perf_pmu_register and perf_event_open
    functions.(CVE-2015-9004i1/4%0

  - The xfs_bmap_extents_to_btree function in
    fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c in the Linux kernel through
    4.16.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service
    (xfs_bmapi_write NULL pointer dereference) via a
    crafted xfs image.(CVE-2018-10323i1/4%0

  - The lrw_crypt() function in 'crypto/lrw.c' in the Linux
    kernel before 4.5 allows local users to cause a system
    crash and a denial of service by the NULL pointer
    dereference via accept(2) system call for AF_ALG socket
    without calling setkey() first to set a cipher
    key.(CVE-2015-8970i1/4%0

  - The IPv6 fragmentation implementation in the Linux
    kernel does not consider that the nexthdr field may be
    associated with an invalid option, which allows local
    users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read
    and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact via
    crafted socket and send system calls. Due to the nature
    of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled
    out, although we believe it is
    unlikely.(CVE-2017-9074i1/4%0
