| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | 7.5 |
| 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. | 5.5 |
| 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 |
| 2016-05-23 | CVE-2016-4951 | The tipc_nl_publ_dump function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 does not verify socket existence, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a dumpit operation. | 7.8 |
| 2016-05-23 | CVE-2016-4794 | Use-after-free vulnerability in mm/percpu.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted use of the mmap and bpf system calls. | 7.8 |
| 2016-05-09 | CVE-2015-0571 | Missing Authorization vulnerability in Linux Kernel The WLAN (aka Wi-Fi) driver for the Linux kernel 3.x and 4.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, does not verify authorization for private SET IOCTL calls, which allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, related to wlan_hdd_hostapd.c and wlan_hdd_wext.c. | 7.8 |
| 2016-05-09 | CVE-2015-0570 | Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in Linux Kernel Stack-based buffer overflow in the SET_WPS_IE IOCTL implementation in wlan_hdd_hostapd.c in the WLAN (aka Wi-Fi) driver for the Linux kernel 3.x and 4.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application that uses a long WPS IE element. | 7.8 |
