| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-02-08 | CVE-2016-0728 | The join_session_keyring function in security/keys/process_keys.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1 mishandles object references in a certain error case, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (integer overflow and use-after-free) via crafted keyctl commands. | 7.8 |
| 2016-02-08 | CVE-2015-8709 | Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Linux Kernel kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel through 4.4.1 mishandles uid and gid mappings, which allows local users to gain privileges by establishing a user namespace, waiting for a root process to enter that namespace with an unsafe uid or gid, and then using the ptrace system call. | 7.0 |
| 2016-02-08 | CVE-2015-8539 | Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in multiple products The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (BUG) via crafted keyctl commands that negatively instantiate a key, related to security/keys/encrypted-keys/encrypted.c, security/keys/trusted.c, and security/keys/user_defined.c. | 7.8 |
| 2015-12-28 | CVE-2015-8543 | Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel The networking implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.3.3, as used in Android and other products, does not validate protocol identifiers for certain protocol families, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging CLONE_NEWUSER support to execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application. | 7.0 |
| 2014-12-17 | CVE-2014-9322 | Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in multiple products arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.17.5 does not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment (SS) segment register, which allows local users to gain privileges by triggering an IRET instruction that leads to access to a GS Base address from the wrong space. | 7.8 |
| 2014-11-10 | CVE-2014-8369 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 miscalculates the number of pages during the handling of a mapping failure, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS page unpinning) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging guest OS privileges. | 7.8 |
| 2014-11-10 | CVE-2014-7826 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the ftrace subsystem, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a crafted application. | 7.8 |
| 2014-11-10 | CVE-2014-7825 | Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the perf subsystem, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and OOPS) or bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application. | 7.8 |
| 2014-11-10 | CVE-2014-3687 | Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products The sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack function in net/sctp/associola.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via duplicate ASCONF chunks that trigger an incorrect uncork within the side-effect interpreter. | 7.5 |
| 2014-11-10 | CVE-2014-3673 | Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a malformed ASCONF chunk, related to net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c and net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c. | 7.5 |
