This may create a kernel panic or memory corruption leading to privilege escalation.(CVE-2016-10229i1/4%0 - Buffer overflow in the exitcode_proc_write function in arch/um/kernel/exitcode.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging root privileges for a write operation.(CVE-2013-4512i1/4%0 - It was found that unsharing a mount namespace could allow a user to see data beneath their restricted namespace.(CVE-2014-9717i1/4%0 - A divide-by-zero flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel built with KVM virtualization support(CONFIG_KVM). The flaw occurs in the KVM module's Programmable Interval Timer(PIT) emulation, when PIT counters for channel 1 or 2 are set to zero(0) and a privileged user inside the guest attempts to read these counters. A privileged guest user with access to PIT I/O ports could exploit this issue to crash the host kernel (denial of service).(CVE-2015-7513i1/4%0 - The ims_pcu_parse_cdc_data function in drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a USB device without both a master and a slave interface.(CVE-2016-3689i1/4%0 - Stack-based buffer overflow in the brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap() function in 'drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80 211.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.7.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long SSID Information Element in a command to a Netlink socket.(CVE-2016-8658i1/4%0 - drivers/hid/hid-sony.c in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11, when CONFIG_HID_SONY is enabled, allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a crafted device.(CVE-2013-2890i1/4%0 - An issue where a provided address with access_ok() is not checked was discovered in i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13. A local attacker can craft a malicious IOCTL function call to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory, resulting in a Denial of Service or privilege escalation.(CVE-2018-20669i1/4%0 - It was found that the permission checks performed by the Linux kernel when a netlink message was received were not sufficient. A local, unprivileged user could potentially bypass these restrictions by passing a netlink socket as stdout or stderr to a more privileged process and altering the output of this process.(CVE-2014-0181i1/4%0 - An issue was discovered in the XFS filesystem in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp. This can lead to a system crash and a denial of service.(CVE-2018-13094i1/4%0 - The irda_setsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel, through 4.16, allows local users to cause a denial of service (due to a use-after-free of the ias_object and a system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging an AF_IRDA socket.(CVE-2018-6555i1/4%0 - The x86/fpu (Floating Point Unit) subsystem in the Linux kernel, 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. This allows 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-2017-15537i1/4%0 - The fst_get_iface function in drivers/net/wan/farsync.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11.7 does not properly initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an SIOCWANDEV ioctl call.(CVE-2014-1444i1/4%0 - In the Linux kernel, through 4.15.4, the floppy driver reveals the addresses of kernel functions and global variables using printk calls within the function show_floppy in drivers/block/floppy.c. An attacker can read this information from dmesg and use the addresses to find the locations of kernel code and data and bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR.(CVE-2018-7273i1/4%0 - A flaw in 'arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c' in the Linux kernel 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-2015-8967i1/4%0 - 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-2014-9870i1/4%0 - A NULL pointer dereference security flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the vcpu_scan_ioapic() function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c. This allows local users with certain privileges to cause a denial of service via a crafted system call to the KVM subsystem.(CVE-2018-19407i1/4%0 - It was found that current implementation of kl5kusb105 driver failed to detect short transfers when attempting to read the line state and logged the content of the uninitialized heap transfer buffer.(CVE-2017-5549i1/4%0 Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory.
