| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-08-06 | CVE-2014-9892 | Information Exposure vulnerability in multiple products The snd_compr_tstamp function in sound/core/compress_offload.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not properly initialize a timestamp data structure, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application, aka Android internal bug 28770164 and Qualcomm internal bug CR568717. | 4.3 |
| 2016-07-03 | CVE-2016-4997 | Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products The compat IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE and IP6T_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt implementations in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.6.3 allow local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by leveraging in-container root access to provide a crafted offset value that triggers an unintended decrement. | 7.8 |
| 2016-06-29 | CVE-2016-1237 | Improper Access Control vulnerability in Linux Kernel nfsd in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 allows local users to bypass intended file-permission restrictions by setting a POSIX ACL, related to nfs2acl.c, nfs3acl.c, and nfs4acl.c. | 4.9 |
| 2016-06-27 | CVE-2016-5829 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the hiddev_ioctl_usage function in drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 allow local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted (1) HIDIOCGUSAGES or (2) HIDIOCSUSAGES ioctl call. | 7.8 |
| 2016-06-27 | CVE-2016-5828 | Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products The start_thread function in arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 on powerpc platforms mishandles transactional state, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (invalid process state or TM Bad Thing exception, and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by starting and suspending a transaction before an exec system call. | 7.8 |
| 2016-06-27 | CVE-2016-5244 | Information Exposure vulnerability in multiple products The rds_inc_info_copy function in net/rds/recv.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading an RDS message. | 5.0 |
| 2016-06-27 | CVE-2016-5243 | Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel The tipc_nl_compat_link_dump function in net/tipc/netlink_compat.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 does not properly copy a certain string, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a Netlink message. | 2.1 |
| 2016-06-27 | CVE-2016-4470 | The key_reject_and_link function in security/keys/key.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 does not ensure that a certain data structure is initialized, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via vectors involving a crafted keyctl request2 command. | 5.5 |
| 2016-06-27 | CVE-2016-4440 | Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Linux Kernel arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 mishandles the APICv on/off state, which allows guest OS users to obtain direct APIC MSR access on the host OS, and consequently cause a denial of service (host OS crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host OS, via x2APIC mode. | 7.8 |
| 2016-06-27 | CVE-2016-1583 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products The ecryptfs_privileged_open function in fs/ecryptfs/kthread.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.3 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (stack memory consumption) via vectors involving crafted mmap calls for /proc pathnames, leading to recursive pagefault handling. | 7.8 |
