DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
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.

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.

linux CWE-125
4.9
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.

low complexity
linux CWE-20
4.9
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).

low complexity
linux CWE-476
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.

low complexity
linux CWE-416
3.6
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.

linux CWE-416
7.0
2016-12-28 CVE-2016-9794 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the snd_pcm_period_elapsed function in sound/core/pcm_lib.c in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START command.

7.8
2016-12-28 CVE-2016-9756 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.12 does not properly initialize Code Segment (CS) in certain error cases, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application.

low complexity
linux CWE-200
2.1
2016-12-28 CVE-2016-9755 Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.9 mishandles IPv6 reassembly, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer overflow, out-of-bounds write, and GPF) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that makes socket, connect, and writev system calls, related to net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c and net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_defrag_ipv6_hooks.c.
