DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2017-12-07 CVE-2017-17448 Missing Authorization vulnerability in Linux Kernel
net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for new, get, and del operations, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data structure is shared across all net namespaces.

linux CWE-862
7.8
2017-12-05 CVE-2017-15868 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
The bnep_add_connection function in net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 does not ensure that an l2cap socket is available, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application.

2017-12-05 CVE-2017-8824 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The dccp_disconnect function in net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.3 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call during the DCCP_LISTEN state.

2017-11-30 CVE-2017-1000405 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The Linux Kernel versions 2.6.38 through 4.14 have a problematic use of pmd_mkdirty() in the touch_pmd() function inside the THP implementation.

2017-11-29 CVE-2017-17053 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The init_new_context function in arch/x86/include/asm/mmu_context.h in the Linux kernel before 4.12.10 does not correctly handle errors from LDT table allocation when forking a new process, allowing a local attacker to achieve a use-after-free or possibly have unspecified other impact by running a specially crafted program.

2017-11-29 CVE-2017-17052 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The mm_init function in kernel/fork.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.10 does not clear the ->exe_file member of a new process's mm_struct, allowing a local attacker to achieve a use-after-free or possibly have unspecified other impact by running a specially crafted program.

2017-11-24 CVE-2017-16939 Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products
The XFRM dump policy implementation in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.11 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted SO_RCVBUF setsockopt system call in conjunction with XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY Netlink messages.

2017-11-15 CVE-2017-15115 Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products
The sctp_do_peeloff function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14 does not check whether the intended netns is used in a peel-off action, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls.

2017-11-14 CVE-2017-6264 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the NVIDIA GPU driver (gm20b_clk_throt_set_cdev_state), where an out of bound memory read is used as a function pointer could lead to code execution in the kernel.This issue is rated as high because it could allow a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of a privileged process.

2017-11-04 CVE-2017-16526 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
drivers/uwb/uwbd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (general protection fault and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device.
