DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2018-02-13 CVE-2018-6954 Link Following vulnerability in multiple products
systemd-tmpfiles in systemd through 237 mishandles symlinks present in non-terminal path components, which allows local users to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via vectors involving creation of a directory and a file under that directory, and later replacing that directory with a symlink.

2018-02-09 CVE-2016-10712 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
In PHP before 5.5.32, 5.6.x before 5.6.18, and 7.x before 7.0.3, all of the return values of stream_get_meta_data can be controlled if the input can be controlled (e.g., during file uploads).

2018-02-02 CVE-2017-14180 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
Apport 2.13 through 2.20.7 does not properly handle crashes originating from a PID namespace allowing local users to create certain files as root which an attacker could leverage to perform a denial of service via resource exhaustion or possibly gain root privileges, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-14179.

2018-02-02 CVE-2017-14179 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
Apport before 2.13 does not properly handle crashes originating from a PID namespace allowing local users to create certain files as root which an attacker could leverage to perform a denial of service via resource exhaustion, possibly gain root privileges, or escape from containers.

2018-02-02 CVE-2017-14177 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
Apport through 2.20.7 does not properly handle core dumps from setuid binaries allowing local users to create certain files as root which an attacker could leverage to perform a denial of service via resource exhaustion or possibly gain root privileges.

2018-01-31 CVE-2018-1000001 Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in multiple products
In glibc 2.26 and earlier there is confusion in the usage of getcwd() by realpath() which can be used to write before the destination buffer leading to a buffer underflow and potential code execution.

2018-01-29 CVE-2017-18079 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because the port->exists value can change after it is validated.
