(CVE-2018-12233)

Wen Xu discovered that the XFS filesystem implementation in the Linux
kernel did not properly handle an error condition with a corrupted xfs
image. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious xfs image
that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2018-13094)

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle setgid
file creation when performed by a non-member of the group. A local
attacker could use this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2018-13405)

Silvio Cesare discovered that the generic VESA frame buffer driver in
the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-13406)

Daniel Jiang discovered that a race condition existed in the ipv4 ping
socket implementation in the Linux kernel. A local privileged attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2017-2671)

It was discovered that an information leak existed in the generic SCSI
driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to expose
sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2018-1000204)

It was discovered that a memory leak existed in the Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS) implementation in the Linux kernel. A physically proximate
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory
exhaustion). (CVE-2018-10021).
