| 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. | 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. | 4.9 |
| 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). | 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. | 3.6 |
| 2017-01-12 | CVE-2016-8399 | Improper Access Control vulnerability in Linux Kernel An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel networking subsystem could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. | 7.0 |
| 2017-01-05 | CVE-2016-9754 | Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in Linux Kernel The ring_buffer_resize function in kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c in the profiling subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.6.1 mishandles certain integer calculations, which allows local users to gain privileges by writing to the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb file. | 7.8 |
| 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 |
| 2016-12-28 | CVE-2016-9806 | Double Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel Race condition in the netlink_dump function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that makes sendmsg system calls, leading to a free operation associated with a new dump that started earlier than anticipated. | 7.8 |
| 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 |
