DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
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.

low complexity
linux CWE-19
2.1
2016-10-16 CVE-2015-3288 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel
mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.4 mishandles anonymous pages, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (page tainting) via a crafted application that triggers writing to page zero.

low complexity
linux CWE-20
7.8
2016-10-10 CVE-2015-8956 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The rfcomm_sock_bind function in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2 allows local users to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth RFCOMM socket.

linux google CWE-476
3.6
2016-10-10 CVE-2015-8950 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
arch/arm64/mm/dma-mapping.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.3, as used in the ION subsystem in Android and other products, does not initialize certain data structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by triggering a dma_mmap call.

linux CWE-200
4.3
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6516 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the ioctl_file_dedupe_range function in fs/ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly gain privileges by changing a certain count value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.
local
linux CWE-119
4.4
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6480 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by changing a certain size value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.
local
linux CWE-362
4.7
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6198 Improper Access Control vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The filesystem layer in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 proceeds with post-rename operations after an OverlayFS file is renamed to a self-hardlink, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a rename system call, related to fs/namei.c and fs/open.c.

low complexity
linux oracle CWE-284
4.9
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6197 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
fs/overlayfs/dir.c in the OverlayFS filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.6 does not properly verify the upper dentry before proceeding with unlink and rename system-call processing, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a rename system call that specifies a self-hardlink.

4.9
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6156 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the ec_device_ioctl_xcmd function in drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_dev.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) by changing a certain size value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.
local
linux CWE-362
1.9
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6136 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the audit_log_single_execve_arg function in kernel/auditsc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows local users to bypass intended character-set restrictions or disrupt system-call auditing by changing a certain string, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.
