DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-05-23 CVE-2016-4805 Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products
Use-after-free vulnerability in drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash, or spinlock) or possibly have unspecified other impact by removing a network namespace, related to the ppp_register_net_channel and ppp_unregister_channel functions.

2016-05-23 CVE-2016-4568 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel
drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-v4l2.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted number of planes in a VIDIOC_DQBUF ioctl call.

2016-05-23 CVE-2016-4565 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products
The InfiniBand (aka IB) stack in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 incorrectly relies on the write system call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a uAPI interface.

2016-05-23 CVE-2016-4557 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 does not properly maintain an fd data structure, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via crafted BPF instructions that reference an incorrect file descriptor.
