    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2016-10208 Sergej Schumilo and Ralf Spenneberg discovered that a crafted ext4 filesystem could trigger memory corruption when it is mounted. A user that can provide a device or filesystem image to be mounted could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2017-8824 Mohamed Ghannam discovered that the DCCP implementation did not correctly manage resources when a socket is disconnected and reconnected, potentially leading to a use-after-free. A local user could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install dccp false CVE-2017-8831 Pengfei Wang discovered that the saa7164 video capture driver re-reads data from a PCI device after validating it. A physically present user able to attach a specially designed PCI device could use this for privilege escalation. CVE-2017-12190 Vitaly Mayatskikh discovered that the block layer did not correctly count page references for raw I/O from user-space. This can be exploited by a guest VM with access to a host SCSI device for denial of service (memory exhaustion) or potentially for privilege escalation. CVE-2017-13080 A vulnerability was found in the WPA2 protocol that could lead to reinstallation of the same Group Temporal Key (GTK), which substantially reduces the security of wifi encryption.
