DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-11-10 CVE-2016-5195 Race Condition vulnerability in multiple products
Race condition in mm/gup.c in the Linux kernel 2.x through 4.x before 4.8.3 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging incorrect handling of a copy-on-write (COW) feature to write to a read-only memory mapping, as exploited in the wild in October 2016, aka "Dirty COW."

2016-10-16 CVE-2016-7425 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
The arcmsr_iop_message_xfer function in drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 does not restrict a certain length field, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via an ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code.

2016-09-20 CVE-2015-8919 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
The lha_read_file_extended_header function in archive_read_support_format_lha.c in libarchive before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap) via a crafted (1) lzh or (2) lha file.

2016-09-07 CVE-2016-6262 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in multiple products
idn in libidn before 1.33 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive memory information by reading a zero byte as input, which triggers an out-of-bounds read, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-8948.

2016-09-07 CVE-2016-6261 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in multiple products
The idna_to_ascii_4i function in lib/idna.c in libidn before 1.33 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via 64 bytes of input.

2016-09-07 CVE-2016-6855 Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in multiple products
Eye of GNOME (aka eog) 3.16.5, 3.17.x, 3.18.x before 3.18.3, 3.19.x, and 3.20.x before 3.20.4, when used with glib before 2.44.1, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) via vectors involving passing invalid UTF-8 to GMarkup.

7.5
2016-08-13 CVE-2016-5384 Double Free vulnerability in multiple products
fontconfig before 2.12.1 does not validate offsets, which allows local users to trigger arbitrary free calls and consequently conduct double free attacks and execute arbitrary code via a crafted cache file.
7.8
2016-08-10 CVE-2016-5421 Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products
Use-after-free vulnerability in libcurl before 7.50.1 allows attackers to control which connection is used or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
