DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-11-28 CVE-2016-8646 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The hash_accept function in crypto/algif_hash.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by attempting to trigger use of in-kernel hash algorithms for a socket that has received zero bytes of data.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-476
5.5
2016-11-28 CVE-2016-8645 Improper Access Control vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The TCP stack in the Linux kernel before 4.8.10 mishandles skb truncation, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted application that makes sendto system calls, related to net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c and net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c.

low complexity
linux CWE-284
5.5
2016-11-28 CVE-2016-8633 Improper Access Control vulnerability in Linux Kernel
drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7, in certain unusual hardware configurations, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets.
low complexity
linux CWE-284
6.8
2016-11-28 CVE-2016-8630 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The x86_decode_insn function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7, when KVM is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via a certain use of a ModR/M byte in an undefined instruction.

low complexity
linux CWE-476
5.5
2016-11-28 CVE-2015-8970 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.2 does not verify that a setkey operation has been performed on an AF_ALG socket before an accept system call is processed, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted application that does not supply a key, related to the lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c.

low complexity
linux CWE-476
5.5
2016-11-28 CVE-2015-1328 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products
The overlayfs implementation in the linux (aka Linux kernel) package before 3.19.0-21.21 in Ubuntu through 15.04 does not properly check permissions for file creation in the upper filesystem directory, which allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging a configuration in which overlayfs is permitted in an arbitrary mount namespace.

low complexity
canonical linux CWE-264
7.2
2016-11-16 CVE-2016-7917 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The nfnetlink_rcv_batch function in net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 does not check whether a batch message's length field is large enough, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (infinite loop or out-of-bounds read) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
network
linux CWE-200
4.3
2016-11-16 CVE-2016-7916 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the environ_read function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.4 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a /proc/*/environ file during a process-setup time interval in which environment-variable copying is incomplete.
local
linux CWE-362
4.7
2016-11-16 CVE-2016-7915 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The hid_input_field function in drivers/hid/hid-core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) by connecting a device, as demonstrated by a Logitech DJ receiver.
network
linux CWE-125
4.3
2016-11-16 CVE-2016-7914 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 does not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application that uses associative-array data structures, as demonstrated by the keyutils test suite.
