| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-11-28 | CVE-2016-8632 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel The tipc_msg_build function in net/tipc/msg.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.11 does not validate the relationship between the minimum fragment length and the maximum packet size, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. | 7.8 |
| 2016-11-28 | CVE-2016-8630 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The x86_decode_insn function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7, when KVM is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via a certain use of a ModR/M byte in an undefined instruction. | 5.5 |
| 2016-11-10 | CVE-2016-5195 | Race Condition vulnerability in multiple products Race condition in mm/gup.c in the Linux kernel 2.x through 4.x before 4.8.3 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging incorrect handling of a copy-on-write (COW) feature to write to a read-only memory mapping, as exploited in the wild in October 2016, aka "Dirty COW." | 7.8 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-8660 | Data Processing Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel The XFS subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (fdatasync failure and system hang) by using the vfs syscall group in the trinity program, related to a "page lock order bug in the XFS seek hole/data implementation." | 4.9 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-7425 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products The arcmsr_iop_message_xfer function in drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 does not restrict a certain length field, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via an ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code. | 7.8 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-7097 | Improper Authorization vulnerability in Linux Kernel The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allows local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on execute permissions. | 4.4 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-7042 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2, when the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) stack protector is enabled, uses an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and panic) by reading the /proc/keys file. | 4.9 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-7039 | Resource Management Errors vulnerability in multiple products The IP stack in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering use of the GRO path for large crafted packets, as demonstrated by packets that contain only VLAN headers, a related issue to CVE-2016-8666. | 7.5 |
| 2016-10-10 | CVE-2015-8955 | Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1 on arm64 platforms allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via vectors involving events that are mishandled during a span of multiple HW PMUs. | 7.3 |
| 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 |
