DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
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.

linux CWE-787
7.8
2016-12-28 CVE-2016-9685 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Multiple memory leaks in error paths in fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allow local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted XFS filesystem operations.

low complexity
linux CWE-400
4.9
2016-12-28 CVE-2016-9588 7PK - Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9 mismanages the #BP and #OF exceptions, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) by declining to handle an exception thrown by an L2 guest.

low complexity
linux CWE-388
5.5
2016-12-28 CVE-2016-9576 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The blk_rq_map_user_iov function in block/blk-map.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 does not properly restrict the type of iterator, 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.

low complexity
linux CWE-416
7.8
2016-12-28 CVE-2016-6213 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9 does not restrict how many mounts may exist in a mount namespace, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and deadlock) via MS_BIND mount system calls, as demonstrated by a loop that triggers exponential growth in the number of mounts.
local
linux CWE-400
4.7
2016-12-08 CVE-2016-9120 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the ion_ioctl function in drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by calling ION_IOC_FREE on two CPUs at the same time.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-416
7.8
2016-12-08 CVE-2015-8966 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Linux Kernel
arch/arm/kernel/sys_oabi-compat.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted (1) F_OFD_GETLK, (2) F_OFD_SETLK, or (3) F_OFD_SETLKW command in an fcntl64 system call.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-264
7.2
2016-12-08 CVE-2016-8655 Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products
Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.12 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW capability to change a socket version, related to the packet_set_ring and packet_setsockopt functions.
local
low complexity
linux canonical CWE-416
7.8
2016-11-28 CVE-2016-9555 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The sctp_sf_ootb function in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.8 lacks chunk-length checking for the first chunk, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds slab access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted SCTP data.
