DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2017-02-18 CVE-2017-6074 Double Free vulnerability in multiple products
The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.11 mishandles DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN state, which allows local users to obtain root privileges or cause a denial of service (double free) via an application that makes an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO setsockopt system call.

linux debian CWE-415
7.8
2017-02-18 CVE-2017-6001 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application that makes concurrent perf_event_open system calls for moving a software group into a hardware context.

high complexity
linux CWE-362
7.0
2017-02-18 CVE-2017-5986 Reachable Assertion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and panic) via a multithreaded application that peels off an association in a certain buffer-full state.

linux CWE-617
7.1
2017-02-14 CVE-2017-5970 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The ipv4_pktinfo_prepare function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via (1) an application that makes crafted system calls or possibly (2) IPv4 traffic with invalid IP options.

5.0
2017-02-14 CVE-2017-5967 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The time subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.9.9, when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS is enabled, allows local users to discover real PID values (as distinguished from PID values inside a PID namespace) by reading the /proc/timer_list file, related to the print_timer function in kernel/time/timer_list.c and the __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info function in kernel/time/timer.c.

linux CWE-200
2.1
2017-02-07 CVE-2016-10044 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products
The aio_mount function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.7 does not properly restrict execute access, which makes it easier for local users to bypass intended SELinux W^X policy restrictions, and consequently gain privileges, via an io_setup system call.

linux google CWE-264
7.8
2017-02-06 CVE-2017-5577 7PK - Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The vc4_get_bcl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the VideoCore DRM driver in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 does not set an errno value upon certain overflow detections, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer dereference and OOPS) via inconsistent size values in a VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-388
4.9
2017-02-06 CVE-2017-5551 Local Denial of Service 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.

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.

linux CWE-200
2.1
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.
