DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-05-23 CVE-2016-4794 Use-after-free vulnerability in mm/percpu.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted use of the mmap and bpf system calls.

2016-05-23 CVE-2016-4565 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products
The InfiniBand (aka IB) stack in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 incorrectly relies on the write system call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a uAPI interface.

2016-05-23 CVE-2016-4558 The BPF subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 mishandles reference counts, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application on (1) a system with more than 32 Gb of memory, related to the program reference count or (2) a 1 Tb system, related to the map reference count.

2016-05-23 CVE-2016-4485 Information Exposure vulnerability in multiple products
The llc_cmsg_rcv function in net/llc/af_llc.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a message.

2016-05-22 CVE-2015-8867 Cryptographic Issues vulnerability in multiple products
The openssl_random_pseudo_bytes function in ext/openssl/openssl.c in PHP before 5.4.44, 5.5.x before 5.5.28, and 5.6.x before 5.6.12 incorrectly relies on the deprecated RAND_pseudo_bytes function, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via unspecified vectors.

2016-05-17 CVE-2016-3705 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
The (1) xmlParserEntityCheck and (2) xmlParseAttValueComplex functions in parser.c in libxml2 2.9.3 do not properly keep track of the recursion depth, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and application crash) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references.

2016-05-17 CVE-2016-3627 Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability in multiple products
The xmlStringGetNodeList function in tree.c in libxml2 2.9.3 and earlier, when used in recovery mode, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion, stack consumption, and application crash) via a crafted XML document.

2016-05-14 CVE-2016-1669 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
The Zone::New function in zone.cc in Google V8 before 5.0.71.47, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102, does not properly determine when to expand certain memory allocations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.

2016-05-13 CVE-2016-1578 Use After Free Denial of Service vulnerability in Ubuntu oxide-qt Package
Use-after-free vulnerability in Oxide allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, related to responding synchronously to permission requests.

2016-05-11 CVE-2016-3710 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
The VGA module in QEMU improperly performs bounds checking on banked access to video memory, which allows local guest OS administrators to execute arbitrary code on the host by changing access modes after setting the bank register, aka the "Dark Portal" issue.
