| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017-02-06 | CVE-2016-10208 | Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.8 does not properly validate meta block groups, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image. | 4.9 |
| 2017-01-18 | CVE-2016-10147 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel crypto/mcryptd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.15 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) by using an AF_ALG socket with an incompatible algorithm, as demonstrated by mcryptd(md5). | 5.5 |
| 2017-01-15 | CVE-2017-2584 | Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave, sgdt, and sidt. | 3.6 |
| 2017-01-12 | CVE-2016-8399 | Improper Access Control vulnerability in Linux Kernel An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel networking subsystem could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. | 7.0 |
| 2016-12-30 | CVE-2016-10088 | Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9 does not properly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, 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, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. | 7.0 |
| 2016-12-28 | CVE-2016-9793 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 mishandles negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a crafted setsockopt system call with the (1) SO_SNDBUFFORCE or (2) SO_RCVBUFFORCE option. | 7.8 |
| 2016-12-28 | CVE-2016-9777 | Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel KVM in the Linux kernel before 4.8.12, when I/O APIC is enabled, does not properly restrict the VCPU index, which allows guest OS users to gain host OS privileges or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access and host OS crash) via a crafted interrupt request, related to arch/x86/kvm/ioapic.c and arch/x86/kvm/ioapic.h. | 7.8 |
| 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. | 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. | 7.8 |
| 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. | 5.5 |
