DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-11-16 CVE-2015-8963 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging incorrect handling of an swevent data structure during a CPU unplug operation.
local
high complexity
linux CWE-416
7.0
2016-11-16 CVE-2015-8962 Double Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Double free vulnerability in the sg_common_write function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-415
7.3
2016-10-16 CVE-2016-8660 Data Processing Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The XFS subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (fdatasync failure and system hang) by using the vfs syscall group in the trinity program, related to a "page lock order bug in the XFS seek hole/data implementation."
local
low complexity
linux CWE-19
4.9
2016-10-16 CVE-2016-8658 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Stack-based buffer overflow in the brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap function in drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long SSID Information Element in a command to a Netlink socket.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-119
5.6
2016-10-16 CVE-2016-7097 Improper Authorization vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allows local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on execute permissions.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-285
4.4
2016-10-16 CVE-2016-7042 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2, when the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) stack protector is enabled, uses an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and panic) by reading the /proc/keys file.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-119
4.9
2016-10-16 CVE-2016-6828 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The tcp_check_send_head function in include/net/tcp.h in the Linux kernel before 4.7.5 does not properly maintain certain SACK state after a failed data copy, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted SACK option.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-416
5.5
2016-10-16 CVE-2016-6327 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
drivers/infiniband/ulp/srpt/ib_srpt.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) by using an ABORT_TASK command to abort a device write operation.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-476
5.5
2016-10-16 CVE-2015-8953 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
fs/overlayfs/copy_up.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.6 uses an incorrect cleanup code path, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (dentry reference leak) via filesystem operations on a large file in a lower overlayfs layer.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-399
4.9
2016-10-16 CVE-2015-8952 Data Processing Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The mbcache feature in the ext2 and ext4 filesystem implementations in the Linux kernel before 4.6 mishandles xattr block caching, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (soft lockup) via filesystem operations in environments that use many attributes, as demonstrated by Ceph and Samba.
