| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-06-27 | CVE-2016-3713 | Improper Access Control vulnerability in Linux Kernel The msr_mtrr_valid function in arch/x86/kvm/mtrr.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.1 supports MSR 0x2f8, which allows guest OS users to read or write to the kvm_arch_vcpu data structure, and consequently obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (system crash), via a crafted ioctl call. | 5.6 |
| 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 |
| 2016-05-23 | CVE-2016-4578 | Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 does not initialize certain r1 data structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via crafted use of the ALSA timer interface, related to the (1) snd_timer_user_ccallback and (2) snd_timer_user_tinterrupt functions. | 2.1 |
| 2016-05-23 | CVE-2016-4569 | Information Exposure vulnerability in multiple products The snd_timer_user_params function in sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via crafted use of the ALSA timer interface. | 5.5 |
| 2016-05-23 | CVE-2016-4482 | Information Exposure vulnerability in multiple products The proc_connectinfo function in drivers/usb/core/devio.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted USBDEVFS_CONNECTINFO ioctl call. | 6.2 |
| 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. | 9.3 |
| 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. | 9.3 |
| 2016-05-09 | CVE-2015-0569 | Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in Linux Kernel Heap-based buffer overflow in the private wireless extensions IOCTL implementation in wlan_hdd_wext.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 establishes a packet filter. | 9.3 |
