"Qian Zhang discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in the
tipc_msg_build() function in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could
use to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code with administrative privileges. (CVE-2016-8632)

Dmitry Vyukov discovered that a race condition existed in the timerfd
subsystem of the Linux kernel when handling might_cancel queuing. A
local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-10661)

It was discovered that the Flash-Friendly File System (f2fs)
implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate
superblock metadata. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial
of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2017-10662, CVE-2017-10663)

Anthony Perard discovered that the Xen virtual block driver did not
properly initialize some data structures before passing them to user
space. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose
sensitive information from the host OS or other guest VMs.
(CVE-2017-10911)

It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the
POSIX message queue implementation in the Linux kernel. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-11176)

Dave Chinner discovered that the XFS filesystem did not enforce that
the realtime inode flag was settable only on filesystems on a realtime
device. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2017-14340).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
