| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-11-28 | CVE-2016-9191 | Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel The cgroup offline implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.8.11 mishandles certain drain operations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by leveraging access to a container environment for executing a crafted application, as demonstrated by trinity. | 5.5 |
| 2016-11-28 | CVE-2016-9178 | Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel The __get_user_asm_ex macro in arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h in the Linux kernel before 4.7.5 does not initialize a certain integer variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by triggering failure of a get_user_ex call. | 5.5 |
| 2016-11-28 | CVE-2016-8650 | Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel The mpi_powm function in lib/mpi/mpi-pow.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.11 does not ensure that memory is allocated for limb data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and panic) via an add_key system call for an RSA key with a zero exponent. | 5.5 |
| 2016-11-28 | CVE-2016-8646 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The hash_accept function in crypto/algif_hash.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by attempting to trigger use of in-kernel hash algorithms for a socket that has received zero bytes of data. | 5.5 |
| 2016-11-28 | CVE-2016-8645 | Improper Access Control vulnerability in Linux Kernel The TCP stack in the Linux kernel before 4.8.10 mishandles skb truncation, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted application that makes sendto system calls, related to net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c and net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c. | 5.5 |
| 2016-11-28 | CVE-2016-8633 | Improper Access Control vulnerability in Linux Kernel drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7, in certain unusual hardware configurations, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets. | 6.8 |
| 2016-11-28 | CVE-2016-8630 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The x86_decode_insn function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7, when KVM is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via a certain use of a ModR/M byte in an undefined instruction. | 5.5 |
| 2016-11-28 | CVE-2015-8970 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.2 does not verify that a setkey operation has been performed on an AF_ALG socket before an accept system call is processed, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted application that does not supply a key, related to the lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c. | 5.5 |
| 2016-11-16 | CVE-2016-7917 | Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel The nfnetlink_rcv_batch function in net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 does not check whether a batch message's length field is large enough, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (infinite loop or out-of-bounds read) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. | 5.0 |
| 2016-11-16 | CVE-2016-7916 | Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel Race condition in the environ_read function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.4 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a /proc/*/environ file during a process-setup time interval in which environment-variable copying is incomplete. | 5.5 |
