DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-11-16 CVE-2016-7911 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the get_task_ioprio function in block/ioprio.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted ioprio_get system call.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-416
7.8
2016-11-16 CVE-2016-7910 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Use-after-free vulnerability in the disk_seqf_stop function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.1 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop operation even if the corresponding start operation had failed.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-416
7.8
2016-11-16 CVE-2015-8964 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The tty_set_termios_ldisc function in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a tty data structure.
network
linux CWE-200
7.1
2016-11-16 CVE-2015-8963 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging incorrect handling of an swevent data structure during a CPU unplug operation.
local
high complexity
linux CWE-416
7.0
2016-11-16 CVE-2015-8962 Double Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Double free vulnerability in the sg_common_write function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-415
7.3
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-2016-8666 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The IP stack in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering use of the GRO path for packets with tunnel stacking, as demonstrated by interleaved IPv4 headers and GRE headers, a related issue to CVE-2016-7039.
network
low complexity
linux CWE-400
7.5
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."
local
low complexity
linux CWE-19
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.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-119
5.6
2016-10-16 CVE-2016-7425 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
The arcmsr_iop_message_xfer function in drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 does not restrict a certain length field, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via an ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code.
