| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2016-2053 | Cryptographic Issues vulnerability in Linux Kernel The asn1_ber_decoder function in lib/asn1_decoder.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via an ASN.1 BER file that lacks a public key, leading to mishandling by the public_key_verify_signature function in crypto/asymmetric_keys/public_key.c. | 4.7 |
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2015-8839 | Race Condition vulnerability in multiple products Multiple race conditions in the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allow local users to cause a denial of service (disk corruption) by writing to a page that is associated with a different user's file after unsynchronized hole punching and page-fault handling. | 5.1 |
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2015-8324 | Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel The ext4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 does not properly track the initialization of certain data structures, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) via a crafted USB device, related to the ext4_fill_super function. low complexity linux | 4.6 |
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2015-4178 | Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel The fs_pin implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.0.5 does not ensure the internal consistency of a certain list data structure, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging user-namespace root access for an MNT_DETACH umount2 system call, related to fs/fs_pin.c and include/linux/fs_pin.h. | 5.5 |
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2015-4177 | Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel The collect_mounts function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.5 does not properly consider that it may execute after a path has been unmounted, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging user-namespace root access for an MNT_DETACH umount2 system call. | 5.5 |
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2015-4176 | Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.2 does not properly support mount connectivity, which allows local users to read arbitrary files by leveraging user-namespace root access for deletion of a file or directory. | 5.5 |
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2015-4170 | Race Condition vulnerability in multiple products Race condition in the ldsem_cmpxchg function in drivers/tty/tty_ldsem.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13-rc4-next-20131218 allows local users to cause a denial of service (ldsem_down_read and ldsem_down_write deadlock) by establishing a new tty thread during shutdown of a previous tty thread. | 4.7 |
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2015-2672 | Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel The xsave/xrstor implementation in arch/x86/include/asm/xsave.h in the Linux kernel before 3.19.2 creates certain .altinstr_replacement pointers and consequently does not provide any protection against instruction faulting, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by triggering a fault, as demonstrated by an unaligned memory operand or a non-canonical address memory operand. | 5.5 |
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2015-1573 | Data Processing Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel The nft_flush_table function in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5 mishandles the interaction between cross-chain jumps and ruleset flushes, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. | 5.5 |
| 2016-05-02 | CVE-2015-1350 | Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties vulnerability in multiple products The VFS subsystem in the Linux kernel 3.x provides an incomplete set of requirements for setattr operations that underspecifies removing extended privilege attributes, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (capability stripping) via a failed invocation of a system call, as demonstrated by using chown to remove a capability from the ping or Wireshark dumpcap program. | 5.5 |
