DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-11-28 CVE-2016-9083 Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in Linux Kernel
drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.11 allows local users to bypass integer overflow checks, and cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact, by leveraging access to a vfio PCI device file for a VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctl call, aka a "state machine confusion bug."

linux CWE-190
7.8
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.

linux CWE-399
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.

low complexity
linux CWE-476
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.
low complexity
linux CWE-284
6.8
2016-11-28 CVE-2016-8632 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The tipc_msg_build function in net/tipc/msg.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.11 does not validate the relationship between the minimum fragment length and the maximum packet size, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.

low complexity
linux CWE-119
7.8
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.

low complexity
linux CWE-476
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
2016-11-28 CVE-2015-1328 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products
The overlayfs implementation in the linux (aka Linux kernel) package before 3.19.0-21.21 in Ubuntu through 15.04 does not properly check permissions for file creation in the upper filesystem directory, which allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging a configuration in which overlayfs is permitted in an arbitrary mount namespace.

7.8
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.
