DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2017-02-06 CVE-2017-5549 Information Exposure Through Log Files vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The klsi_105_get_line_state function in drivers/usb/serial/kl5kusb105.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.5 places uninitialized heap-memory contents into a log entry upon a failure to read the line status, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the log.

low complexity
linux CWE-532
5.5
2017-02-06 CVE-2017-2596 Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The nested_vmx_check_vmptr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.8 improperly emulates the VMXON instruction, which allows KVM L1 guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS memory consumption) by leveraging the mishandling of page references.

low complexity
linux CWE-772
6.5
2017-02-06 CVE-2016-10208 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.8 does not properly validate meta block groups, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image.
low complexity
linux CWE-125
4.3
2017-02-06 CVE-2016-10154 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel 4.9
The smbhash function in fs/cifs/smbencrypt.c in the Linux kernel 4.9.x before 4.9.1 interacts incorrectly with the CONFIG_VMAP_STACK option, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash or memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging use of more than one virtual page for a scatterlist.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-119
5.5
2017-02-06 CVE-2010-5328 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel
include/linux/init_task.h in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not prevent signals with a process group ID of zero from reaching the swapper process, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging access to this process group.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-20
5.5
2017-01-18 CVE-2016-10147 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
crypto/mcryptd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.15 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) by using an AF_ALG socket with an incompatible algorithm, as demonstrated by mcryptd(md5).

low complexity
linux CWE-476
5.5
2017-01-12 CVE-2016-8475 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel 3.18
