DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2017-07-20 CVE-2017-11472 Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The acpi_ns_terminate() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/nsutils.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12 does not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a crafted ACPI table.

3.6
2017-07-05 CVE-2017-10911 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The make_response function in drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.8 allows guest OS users to obtain sensitive information from host OS (or other guest OS) kernel memory by leveraging the copying of uninitialized padding fields in Xen block-interface response structures, aka XSA-216.

4.9
2017-06-28 CVE-2017-9986 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The intr function in sound/oss/msnd_pinnacle.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (over-boundary access) or possibly have unspecified other impact by changing the value of a message queue head pointer between two kernel reads of that value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.

7.2
2017-06-19 CVE-2017-1000364 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel
An issue was discovered in the size of the stack guard page on Linux, specifically a 4k stack guard page is not sufficiently large and can be "jumped" over (the stack guard page is bypassed), this affects Linux Kernel versions 4.11.5 and earlier (the stackguard page was introduced in 2010).

6.2
2017-06-17 CVE-2017-1000380 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.5 is vulnerable to a data race in the ALSA /dev/snd/timer driver resulting in local users being able to read information belonging to other users, i.e., uninitialized memory contents may be disclosed when a read and an ioctl happen at the same time.

2.1
2017-06-13 CVE-2017-9605 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function (accessible via DRM_IOCTL_VMW_GB_SURFACE_CREATE) in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.4 defines a backup_handle variable but does not give it an initial value.

linux CWE-200
4.9
2017-05-27 CVE-2017-9242 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The __ip6_append_data function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.3 is too late in checking whether an overwrite of an skb data structure may occur, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via crafted system calls.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-20
4.9
2017-05-23 CVE-2017-9211 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The crypto_skcipher_init_tfm function in crypto/skcipher.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.2 relies on a setkey function that lacks a key-size check, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted application.

low complexity
linux CWE-476
4.9
2017-05-22 CVE-2017-9150 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The do_check function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.1 does not make the allow_ptr_leaks value available for restricting the output of the print_bpf_insn function, which allows local users to obtain sensitive address information via crafted bpf system calls.

low complexity
linux CWE-200
2.1
2017-05-18 CVE-2017-9059 Improper Resource Shutdown or Release vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The NFSv4 implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) by leveraging improper channel callback shutdown when unmounting an NFSv4 filesystem, aka a "module reference and kernel daemon" leak.
