| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-12-08 | CVE-2016-8655 | Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.12 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW capability to change a socket version, related to the packet_set_ring and packet_setsockopt functions. | 7.8 |
| 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." | 7.0 |
| 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. | 7.8 |
| 2016-10-03 | CVE-2016-5180 | Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in multiple products Heap-based buffer overflow in the ares_create_query function in c-ares 1.x before 1.12.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a hostname with an escaped trailing dot. | 9.8 |
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2016-1576 | The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly restrict the mount namespace, which allows local users to gain privileges by mounting an overlayfs filesystem on top of a FUSE filesystem, and then executing a crafted setuid program. | 7.8 |
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2016-1575 | Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in multiple products The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly maintain POSIX ACL xattr data, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging a group-writable setgid directory. | 7.8 |
