| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-11-10 | CVE-2016-5195 | Race Condition vulnerability in multiple products Race condition in mm/gup.c in the Linux kernel 2.x through 4.x before 4.8.3 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging incorrect handling of a copy-on-write (COW) feature to write to a read-only memory mapping, as exploited in the wild in October 2016, aka "Dirty COW." | 7.0 |
| 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." | 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. | 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. | 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. | 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. | 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. | 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. | 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. | 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. | 7.8 |
