DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-05-02 CVE-2016-1575 Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in multiple products
The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly maintain POSIX ACL xattr data, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging a group-writable setgid directory.

2016-05-02 CVE-2015-8830 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel 4.0
Integer overflow in the aio_setup_single_vector function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel 4.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large AIO iovec.

2016-05-02 CVE-2015-8019 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel 3.14.54/3.18.22
The skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_iovec function in net/core/datagram.c in the Linux kernel 3.14.54 and 3.18.22 does not accept a length argument, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a write system call followed by a recvmsg system call.

7.2
2016-05-02 CVE-2015-2686 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Linux Kernel 3.19/3.19.1/3.19.2
net/socket.c in the Linux kernel 3.19 before 3.19.3 does not validate certain range data for (1) sendto and (2) recvfrom system calls, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging a subsystem that uses the copy_from_iter function in the iov_iter interface, as demonstrated by the Bluetooth subsystem.

2016-05-02 CVE-2012-6701 Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Integer overflow in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel before 3.4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large AIO iovec.

2016-05-02 CVE-2012-6689 Improper Access Control vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The netlink_sendmsg function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel before 3.5.5 does not validate the dst_pid field, which allows local users to have an unspecified impact by spoofing Netlink messages.

2016-05-02 CVE-2003-1604 Null Pointer Deference Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The redirect_target function in net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_REDIRECT.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by sending packets to an interface that has a 0.0.0.0 IP address, a related issue to CVE-2015-8787.

2016-04-27 CVE-2016-3672 7PK - Security Features vulnerability in multiple products
The arch_pick_mmap_layout function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly randomize the legacy base address, which makes it easier for local users to defeat the intended restrictions on the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE flag, and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism for a setuid or setgid program, by disabling stack-consumption resource limits.

2016-04-27 CVE-2016-3135 Integer overflow in the xt_alloc_table_info function in net/netfilter/x_tables.c in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 on 32-bit platforms allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via an IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt call.

2016-04-27 CVE-2016-3134 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
The netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not validate certain offset fields, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via an IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt call.
