| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-11-16 | CVE-2015-8961 | Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel The __ext4_journal_stop function in fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3.3 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging improper access to a certain error field. | 7.8 |
| 2016-11-10 | CVE-2016-5195 | Race Condition vulnerability in multiple products Race condition in mm/gup.c in the Linux kernel 2.x through 4.x before 4.8.3 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging incorrect handling of a copy-on-write (COW) feature to write to a read-only memory mapping, as exploited in the wild in October 2016, aka "Dirty COW." | 7.0 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-8666 | Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel The IP stack in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering use of the GRO path for packets with tunnel stacking, as demonstrated by interleaved IPv4 headers and GRE headers, a related issue to CVE-2016-7039. | 7.5 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-8660 | Data Processing Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel The XFS subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (fdatasync failure and system hang) by using the vfs syscall group in the trinity program, related to a "page lock order bug in the XFS seek hole/data implementation." | 5.5 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-8658 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel Stack-based buffer overflow in the brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap function in drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long SSID Information Element in a command to a Netlink socket. | 6.1 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-7425 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products The arcmsr_iop_message_xfer function in drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 does not restrict a certain length field, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via an ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code. | 7.8 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-7097 | Improper Authorization vulnerability in Linux Kernel The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allows local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on execute permissions. | 4.4 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-7042 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2, when the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) stack protector is enabled, uses an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and panic) by reading the /proc/keys file. | 6.2 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-7039 | Resource Management Errors vulnerability in multiple products The IP stack in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering use of the GRO path for large crafted packets, as demonstrated by packets that contain only VLAN headers, a related issue to CVE-2016-8666. | 7.5 |
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2016-6828 | Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel The tcp_check_send_head function in include/net/tcp.h in the Linux kernel before 4.7.5 does not properly maintain certain SACK state after a failed data copy, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted SACK option. | 5.5 |
