DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2017-11-04 CVE-2017-16526 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
drivers/uwb/uwbd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (general protection fault and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device.

low complexity
linux canonical debian CWE-119
7.8
2017-11-04 CVE-2017-16525 Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products
The usb_serial_console_disconnect function in drivers/usb/serial/console.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device, related to disconnection and failed setup.
low complexity
linux debian canonical CWE-416
6.6
2017-10-30 CVE-2017-1000255 Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in Linux Kernel
On Linux running on PowerPC hardware (Power8 or later) a user process can craft a signal frame and then do a sigreturn so that the kernel will take an exception (interrupt), and use the r1 value *from the signal frame* as the kernel stack pointer.

linux CWE-787
5.5
2017-10-29 CVE-2006-5331 Data Processing Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The altivec_unavailable_exception function in arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 on 64-bit systems mishandles the case where CONFIG_ALTIVEC is defined and the CPU actually supports Altivec, but the Altivec support was not detected by the kernel, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by triggering execution of an Altivec instruction.

low complexity
linux CWE-19
5.5
2017-10-28 CVE-2017-15951 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.10 does not correctly synchronize the actions of updating versus finding a key in the "negative" state to avoid a race condition, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-20
7.8
2017-10-19 CVE-2017-15649 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of packet_fanout data structures, because of a race condition (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that leads to a use-after-free, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-6346.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-362
7.8
2017-10-17 CVE-2017-15537 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The x86/fpu (Floating Point Unit) subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.5, when a processor supports the xsave feature but not the xsaves feature, does not correctly handle attempts to set reserved bits in the xstate header via the ptrace() or rt_sigreturn() system call, allowing local users to read the FPU registers of other processes on the system, related to arch/x86/kernel/fpu/regset.c and arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-200
5.5
2017-10-16 CVE-2017-15265 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted /dev/snd/seq ioctl calls, related to sound/core/seq/seq_clientmgr.c and sound/core/seq/seq_ports.c.
local
high complexity
linux CWE-416
7.0
2017-10-14 CVE-2017-15299 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.13.7 mishandles use of add_key for a key that already exists but is uninstantiated, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted system call.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-476
5.5
2017-10-12 CVE-2017-15274 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.5 does not consider the case of a NULL payload in conjunction with a nonzero length value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted add_key or keyctl system call, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-12192.
