| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017-10-30 | CVE-2017-1000255 | Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in Linux Kernel On Linux running on PowerPC hardware (Power8 or later) a user process can craft a signal frame and then do a sigreturn so that the kernel will take an exception (interrupt), and use the r1 value *from the signal frame* as the kernel stack pointer. | 5.5 |
| 2017-10-29 | CVE-2006-5331 | Data Processing Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel The altivec_unavailable_exception function in arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 on 64-bit systems mishandles the case where CONFIG_ALTIVEC is defined and the CPU actually supports Altivec, but the Altivec support was not detected by the kernel, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by triggering execution of an Altivec instruction. | 5.5 |
| 2017-10-28 | CVE-2017-15951 | Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.10 does not correctly synchronize the actions of updating versus finding a key in the "negative" state to avoid a race condition, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls. | 7.8 |
| 2017-10-19 | CVE-2017-15649 | Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of packet_fanout data structures, because of a race condition (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that leads to a use-after-free, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-6346. | 7.8 |
| 2017-10-17 | CVE-2017-15537 | Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel The x86/fpu (Floating Point Unit) subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.5, when a processor supports the xsave feature but not the xsaves feature, does not correctly handle attempts to set reserved bits in the xstate header via the ptrace() or rt_sigreturn() system call, allowing local users to read the FPU registers of other processes on the system, related to arch/x86/kernel/fpu/regset.c and arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c. | 5.5 |
| 2017-10-16 | CVE-2017-15265 | Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel Race condition in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted /dev/snd/seq ioctl calls, related to sound/core/seq/seq_clientmgr.c and sound/core/seq/seq_ports.c. | 7.0 |
| 2017-10-14 | CVE-2017-15299 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.13.7 mishandles use of add_key for a key that already exists but is uninstantiated, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted system call. | 5.5 |
| 2017-10-12 | CVE-2017-15274 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.5 does not consider the case of a NULL payload in conjunction with a nonzero length value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted add_key or keyctl system call, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-12192. | 5.5 |
| 2017-10-12 | CVE-2017-12192 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The keyctl_read_key function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Key Management subcomponent in the Linux kernel before 4.13.5 does not properly consider that a key may be possessed but negatively instantiated, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS and system crash) via a crafted KEYCTL_READ operation. | 5.5 |
| 2017-10-11 | CVE-2017-12188 | Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.5, when nested virtualisation is used, does not properly traverse guest pagetable entries to resolve a guest virtual address, which allows L1 guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS or cause a denial of service (incorrect index during page walking, and host OS crash), aka an "MMU potential stack buffer overrun." | 7.8 |
