    "The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple
    vulnerabilities:
    
      - It was found that the fix for CVE-2016-9576 was
        incomplete: the Linux kernel's sg implementation did not
        properly restrict write operations in situations where
        the KERNEL_DS option is set. A local attacker to read or
        write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a
        denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging write
        access to a /dev/sg device. (CVE-2016-10088)
    
      - When creating audit records for parameters to executed
        children processes, an attacker can convince the Linux
        kernel audit subsystem can create corrupt records which
        may allow an attacker to misrepresent or evade logging
        of executing commands. (CVE-2016-6136)
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of
        seq_file where a local attacker could manipulate memory
        in the put() function pointer. This could lead to memory
        corruption and possible privileged escalation.
        (CVE-2016-7910)
    
      - It was found that the blk_rq_map_user_iov() function in
        the Linux kernel's block device implementation did not
        properly restrict the type of iterator, which could
        allow a local attacker to read or write to arbitrary
        kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service
        (use-after-free) by leveraging write access to a /dev/sg
        device. (CVE-2016-9576)
    
      - A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the
        Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel processed
        pending L2CAP configuration responses from a client. On
        systems with the stack protection feature enabled in the
        kernel (CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y, which is enabled on
        all architectures other than s390x and ppc64[le]), an
        unauthenticated attacker able to initiate a connection
        to a system via Bluetooth could use this flaw to crash
        the system. Due to the nature of the stack protection
        feature, code execution cannot be fully ruled out,
        although we believe it is unlikely. On systems without
        the stack protection feature (ppc64[le]; the Bluetooth
        modules are not built on s390x), an unauthenticated
        attacker able to initiate a connection to a system via
        Bluetooth could use this flaw to remotely execute
        arbitrary code on the system with ring 0 (kernel)
        privileges. (CVE-2017-1000251)
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel loaded ELF
        executables. Provided that an application was built as
        Position Independent Executable (PIE), the loader could
        allow part of that application's data segment to map
        over the memory area reserved for its stack, potentially
        resulting in memory corruption. An unprivileged local
        user with access to SUID (or otherwise privileged) PIE
        binary could use this flaw to escalate their privileges
        on the system. (CVE-2017-1000253)
    
      - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux
        kernel's Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)
        implementation freed SKB (socket buffer) resources for a
        DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet when the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO option
        is set on the socket. A local, unprivileged user could
        use this flaw to alter the kernel memory, allowing them
        to escalate their privileges on the system.
        (CVE-2017-6074)

    "Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
    may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information
    leaks.
    
    CVE-2012-6704, CVE-2016-9793
    
    Eric Dumazet found that a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability
    could set a socket's buffer size to be negative, leading to a denial
    of service or other security impact. Additionally, in kernel versions
    prior to 3.5, any user could do this if sysctl net.core.rmem_max was
    changed to a very large value.
    
    CVE-2015-1350 / #770492
    
    Ben Harris reported that local users could remove set-capability
    attributes from any file visible to them, allowing a denial of
    service.
    
    CVE-2015-8962
    
    Calvin Owens fouund that removing a SCSI device while it was being
    accessed through the SCSI generic (sg) driver led to a double- free,
    possibly causing a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
    privilege escalation. This could be exploited by local users with
    permision to access a SCSI device node.
    
    CVE-2015-8963
    
    Sasha Levin reported that hot-unplugging a CPU resulted in a
    use-after-free by the performance events (perf) subsystem, possibly
    causing a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or privilege
    escalation. This could by exploited by any local user.
    
    CVE-2015-8964
    
    It was found that the terminal/serial (tty) subsystem did not reliably
    reset the terminal buffer state when the terminal line discipline was
    changed. This could allow a local user with access to a terminal
    device to read sensitive information from kernel memory.
    
    CVE-2016-7097
    
    Jan Kara found that changing the POSIX ACL of a file never cleared its
    set-group-ID flag, which should be done if the user changing it is not
    a member of the group-owner. In some cases, this would allow the
    user-owner of an executable to gain the privileges of the group-owner.
    
    CVE-2016-7910
    
    Vegard Nossum discovered that a memory allocation failure while
    handling a read of /proc/diskstats or /proc/partitions could lead to a
    use-after-free, possibly causing a denial of service (crash or memory
    corruption) or privilege escalation.
    
    CVE-2016-7911
    
    Dmitry Vyukov reported that a race between ioprio_get() and
    ioprio_set() system calls could result in a use-after-free, possibly
    causing a denial of service (crash) or leaking sensitive information.
    
    CVE-2016-7915
    
    Benjamin Tissoires found that HID devices could trigger an out-of-
    bounds memory access in the HID core. A physically present user could
    possibly use this for denial of service (crash) or to leak sensitive
    information.
    
    CVE-2016-8399
    
    Qidan He reported that the IPv4 ping socket implementation did not
    validate the length of packets to be sent. A user with permisson to
    use ping sockets could cause an out-of-bounds read, possibly resulting
    in a denial of service or information leak. However, on Debian systems
    no users have permission to create ping sockets by default.
    
    CVE-2016-8633
    
    Eyal Itkin reported that the IP-over-Firewire driver (firewire-net)
    did not validate the offset or length in link-layer fragmentation
    headers. This allowed a remote system connected by Firewire to write
    to memory after a packet buffer, leading to a denial of service
    (crash) or remote code execution.
    
    CVE-2016-8645
    
    Marco Grassi reported that if a socket filter (BPF program) attached
    to a TCP socket truncates or removes the TCP header, this could cause
    a denial of service (crash). This was exploitable by any local user.
    
    CVE-2016-8655
    
    Philip Pettersson found that the implementation of packet sockets
    (AF_PACKET family) had a race condition between enabling a transmit
    ring buffer and changing the version of buffers used, which could
    result in a use-after-free. A local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN
    capability could exploit this for privilege escalation.
    
    CVE-2016-9178
    
    Al Viro found that a failure to read data from user memory might lead
    to a information leak on the x86 architecture (amd64 or i386).
    
    CVE-2016-9555
    
    Andrey Konovalov reported that the SCTP implementation does not
    validate 'out of the blue' packet chunk lengths early enough. A remote
    system able could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or
    other security impact for systems using SCTP.
    
    CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-10088
    
    Dmitry Vyukov reported that using splice() with the SCSI generic
    driver led to kernel memory corruption. Local users with permision to
    access a SCSI device node could exploit this for privilege escalation.
    
    CVE-2016-9756
    
    Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM for the x86 architecture (amd64 or
    i386) did not correctly handle the failure of certain instructions
    that require software emulation on older processors. This could be
    exploited by guest systems to leak sensitive information or for denial
    of service (log spam).
    
    CVE-2016-9794
    
    Baozeng Ding reported a race condition in the ALSA (sound) subsystem
    that could result in a use-after-free. Local users with access to a
    PCM sound device could exploit this for denial of service (crash or
    memory corruption) or other security impact.
    
    For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
    3.2.84-1. This version also includes bug fixes from upstream version
    3.2.84 and updates the PREEMPT_RT featureset to version 3.2.84-rt122.
    Finally, this version adds the option to mitigate security issues in
    the performance events (perf) subsystem by disabling use by
    unprivileged users. This can be done by setting sysctl
    kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3.
    
    For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version
    3.16.39-1 which will be included in the next point release (8.6).
    
    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

    score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
    vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
    
    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    
    Security Fix(es) :
    
    * It was found that the packet_set_ring() function of the Linux
    kernel's networking implementation did not properly validate certain
    block-size data. A local attacker with CAP_NET_RAW capability could
    use this flaw to trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in the crash of
    the system. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot
    be fully ruled out. (CVE-2017-7308, Important)
    
    * Mounting a crafted EXT4 image read-only leads to an attacker
    controlled memory corruption and SLAB-Out-of-Bounds reads.
    (CVE-2016-10208, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of seq_file
    where a local attacker could manipulate memory in the put() function
    pointer. This could lead to memory corruption and possible privileged
    escalation. (CVE-2016-7910, Moderate)
    
    * A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. An unprivileged local
    user could trigger oops in shash_async_export() by attempting to force
    the in-kernel hashing algorithms into decrypting an empty data set.
    (CVE-2016-8646, Moderate)
    
    * It was reported that with Linux kernel, earlier than version
    v4.10-rc8, an application may trigger a BUG_ON in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf
    if the socket tx buffer is full, a thread is waiting on it to queue
    more data, and meanwhile another thread peels off the association
    being used by the first thread. (CVE-2017-5986, Moderate)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Igor Redko (Virtuozzo kernel team) for
    reporting CVE-2016-8646.

    "An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
    
    Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
    impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
    score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
    vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
    
    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    
    Security Fix(es) :
    
    * A race condition flaw was found in the N_HLDC Linux kernel driver
    when accessing n_hdlc.tbuf list that can lead to double free. A local,
    unprivileged user able to set the HDLC line discipline on the tty
    device could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2017-2636, Important)
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of seq_file
    where a local attacker could manipulate memory in the put() function
    pointer. This could lead to memory corruption and possible privileged
    escalation. (CVE-2016-7910, Moderate)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Alexander Popov for reporting
    CVE-2017-2636.
    
    Bug Fix(es) :
    
    * Previously, Chelsio firmware included an incorrectly-formatted
    firmware bin file. As a consequence, the firmware could not be
    flashed. This update provides a firmware bin file that is formatted
    correctly. As a result, Chelsio firmware can now be flashed
    successfully. (BZ#1433865)
    
    * When multiple simultaneous processes attempted to read from the
    /proc/stat file, spinlock overhead was generated on Non-Uniform Memory
    Access (NUMA) systems. Consequently, a large amount of CPU was
    consumed. With this update, the underlying source code has been fixed
    to avoid taking spinlock when the interrupt line does not exist. As a
    result, the spinlock overhead is now generated less often, and
    multiple simultaneous processes can now read /proc/stat without
    consuming a large amount of CPU. (BZ#1428106)

    preceding description block directly from the corresponding Red Hat
    security advisory. Virtuozzo provides no description for VZLSA
    advisories. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format
    it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.");

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel was updated to 3.12.69 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2015-8962: Double free vulnerability in the sg_common_write function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call (bnc#1010501). - CVE-2015-8963: Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging incorrect handling of an swevent data structure during a CPU unplug operation (bnc#1010502). - CVE-2015-8964: The tty_set_termios_ldisc function in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a tty data structure (bnc#1010507). - CVE-2016-10088: The sg implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allowed local users to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576 (bnc#1017710). - CVE-2016-7910: Use-after-free vulnerability in the disk_seqf_stop function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop operation even if the corresponding start operation had failed (bnc#1010716). - CVE-2016-7911: Race condition in the get_task_ioprio function in block/ioprio.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted ioprio_get system call (bnc#1010711). - CVE-2016-7913: The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors involving omission of the firmware name from a certain data structure (bnc#1010478). - CVE-2016-7914: The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel did not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application that uses associative-array data structures, as demonstrated by the keyutils test suite (bnc#1010475). - CVE-2016-8399: An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel networking subsystem could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This issue is rated as Moderate because it first requires compromising a privileged process and current compiler optimizations restrict access to the vulnerable code. Product: Android. Versions: Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18. Android ID: A-31349935 (bnc#1014746). - CVE-2016-8633: drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux kernel, in certain unusual hardware configurations, allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets (bnc#1008833). - CVE-2016-8645: The TCP stack in the Linux kernel mishandled skb truncation, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted application that made sendto system calls, related to net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c and net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c (bnc#1009969). - CVE-2016-9083: drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass integer overflow checks, and cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact, by leveraging access to a vfio PCI device file for a VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctl call, aka a

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - Use-after-free vulnerability in the disk_seqf_stop function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.1 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop operation even if the corresponding start operation had failed.(CVE-2016-7910) - Race condition in the get_task_ioprio function in block/ioprio.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted ioprio_get system call.(CVE-2016-7911) - The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 does not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application that uses associative-array data structures, as demonstrated by the keyutils test suite.(CVE-2016-7914) - The IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel before 4.3.3 mishandles options data, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system call.(CVE-2016-3841) - Race condition in the environ_read function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.4 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a /proc/*/environ file during a process-setup time interval in which environment-variable copying is incomplete.(CVE-2016-7916) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    NASL idVIRTUOZZO_VZA-2016-104.NASL
    descriptionAccording to the versions of the parallels-server-bm-release / vzkernel / etc packages installed, the Virtuozzo installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - Stack overflow via ecryptfs and /proc/$pid/environ. It was found that stacking a file system over procfs in the Linux kernel could lead to a kernel stack overflow due to deep nesting, as demonstrated by mounting ecryptfs over procfs and creating a recursion by mapping /proc/environ. An unprivileged, local user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. - Use after free in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue. A use after free vulnerability was found in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue and other tcp_* functions. This condition could allow an attacker to send an incorrect selective acknowledgment to existing connections, possibly resetting a connection. - block: fix use-after-free in seq file. Use-after-free vulnerability in the disk_seqf_stop function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.1 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop operation even if the corresponding start operation had failed. - block: fix use-after-free in sys_ioprio_get(). Race condition in the get_task_ioprio function in block/ioprio.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted ioprio_get system call. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Virtuozzo security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2015-8970: crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux kernel did not verify that a setkey operation has been performed on an AF_ALG socket before an accept system call is processed, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted application that did not supply a key, related to the lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c (bnc#1008374). - CVE-2017-5551: Clear S_ISGID on tmpfs when setting posix ACLs (bsc#1021258). - CVE-2016-7097: The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allowed local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on execute permissions (bnc#995968). - CVE-2016-10088: The sg implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allowed local users to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576 (bnc#1017710). - CVE-2004-0230: TCP, when using a large Window Size, made it easier for remote attackers to guess sequence numbers and cause a denial of service (connection loss) to persistent TCP connections by repeatedly injecting a TCP RST packet, especially in protocols that use long-lived connections, such as BGP (bnc#969340). - CVE-2016-8632: The tipc_msg_build function in net/tipc/msg.c in the Linux kernel did not validate the relationship between the minimum fragment length and the maximum packet size, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (bnc#1008831). - CVE-2016-8399: An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel networking subsystem could have enabled a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel bnc#1014746). - CVE-2016-9793: The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel mishandled negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a crafted setsockopt system call with the (1) SO_SNDBUFFORCE or (2) SO_RCVBUFFORCE option (bnc#1013531). - CVE-2012-6704: The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel mishandled negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a crafted setsockopt system call with the (1) SO_SNDBUF or (2) SO_RCVBUF option (bnc#1013542). - CVE-2016-9756: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize Code Segment (CS) in certain error cases, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application (bnc#1013038). - CVE-2016-3841: The IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel mishandled options data, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system call (bnc#992566). - CVE-2016-9685: Multiple memory leaks in error paths in fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted XFS filesystem operations (bnc#1012832). - CVE-2015-1350: The VFS subsystem in the Linux kernel provided an incomplete set of requirements for setattr operations that underspecifies removing extended privilege attributes, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (capability stripping) via a failed invocation of a system call, as demonstrated by using chown to remove a capability from the ping or Wireshark dumpcap program (bnc#914939). - CVE-2015-8962: Double free vulnerability in the sg_common_write function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call (bnc#1010501). - CVE-2016-9555: The sctp_sf_ootb function in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Linux kernel lacked chunk-length checking for the first chunk, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds slab access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted SCTP data (bnc#1011685). - CVE-2016-7910: Use-after-free vulnerability in the disk_seqf_stop function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop operation even if the corresponding start operation had failed (bnc#1010716). - CVE-2016-7911: Race condition in the get_task_ioprio function in block/ioprio.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted ioprio_get system call (bnc#1010711). - CVE-2015-8964: The tty_set_termios_ldisc function in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a tty data structure (bnc#1010507). - CVE-2016-7916: Race condition in the environ_read function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a /proc/*/environ file during a process-setup time interval in which environment-variable copying is incomplete (bnc#1010467). - CVE-2016-8646: The hash_accept function in crypto/algif_hash.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by attempting to trigger use of in-kernel hash algorithms for a socket that has received zero bytes of data (bnc#1010150). - CVE-2016-8633: drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux kernel in certain unusual hardware configurations allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets (bnc#1008833). - CVE-2016-7042: The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in the Linux, when the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) stack protector is enabled, used an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout data, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and panic) by reading the /proc/keys file (bnc#1004517). - CVE-2015-8956: The rfcomm_sock_bind function in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth RFCOMM socket (bnc#1003925). - CVE-2016-7117: Use-after-free vulnerability in the __sys_recvmmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that is mishandled during error processing (bnc#1003077). - CVE-2016-0823: The pagemap_open function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive physical-address information by reading a pagemap file (bnc#994759). - CVE-2016-7425: The arcmsr_iop_message_xfer function in drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c in the Linux kernel did not restrict a certain length field, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via an ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code (bnc#999932). - CVE-2016-6828: The tcp_check_send_head function in include/net/tcp.h in the Linux kernel did not properly maintain certain SACK state after a failed data copy, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted SACK option (bnc#994296). The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.
