DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2017-04-17 CVE-2017-7889 Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability in multiple products
The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.2 does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM protection mechanism, which allows local users to read or write to kernel memory locations in the first megabyte (and bypass slab-allocation access restrictions) via an application that opens the /dev/mem file, related to arch/x86/mm/init.c and drivers/char/mem.c.
