| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017-02-06 | CVE-2017-5551 | Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel The simple_set_acl function in fs/posix_acl.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.6 preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call involving a tmpfs filesystem, which allows local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on execute permissions. | 4.4 |
| 2017-02-06 | CVE-2017-5550 | Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel Off-by-one error in the pipe_advance function in lib/iov_iter.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.5 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized heap-memory locations in opportunistic circumstances by reading from a pipe after an incorrect buffer-release decision. | 5.5 |
| 2017-02-06 | CVE-2017-5549 | Information Exposure Through Log Files vulnerability in Linux Kernel The klsi_105_get_line_state function in drivers/usb/serial/kl5kusb105.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.5 places uninitialized heap-memory contents into a log entry upon a failure to read the line status, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the log. | 5.5 |
| 2017-02-06 | CVE-2017-2596 | Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in Linux Kernel The nested_vmx_check_vmptr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.8 improperly emulates the VMXON instruction, which allows KVM L1 guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS memory consumption) by leveraging the mishandling of page references. | 6.5 |
| 2017-02-06 | CVE-2017-2583 | Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel The load_segment_descriptor implementation in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.5 improperly emulates a "MOV SS, NULL selector" instruction, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) or gain guest OS privileges via a crafted application. | 8.4 |
| 2017-02-06 | CVE-2016-10208 | Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.8 does not properly validate meta block groups, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image. | 4.3 |
| 2017-02-06 | CVE-2010-5328 | Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel include/linux/init_task.h in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not prevent signals with a process group ID of zero from reaching the swapper process, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging access to this process group. | 5.5 |
| 2017-01-18 | CVE-2016-10147 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel crypto/mcryptd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.15 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) by using an AF_ALG socket with an incompatible algorithm, as demonstrated by mcryptd(md5). | 5.5 |
| 2017-01-15 | CVE-2017-2584 | Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave, sgdt, and sidt. | 7.1 |
| 2016-12-30 | CVE-2016-10088 | Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9 does not properly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. | 7.0 |
