DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-10-16 CVE-2016-6327 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
drivers/infiniband/ulp/srpt/ib_srpt.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) by using an ABORT_TASK command to abort a device write operation.

low complexity
linux CWE-476
5.5
2016-10-16 CVE-2015-8953 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
fs/overlayfs/copy_up.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.6 uses an incorrect cleanup code path, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (dentry reference leak) via filesystem operations on a large file in a lower overlayfs layer.

low complexity
linux CWE-399
5.5
2016-10-16 CVE-2015-8952 Data Processing Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The mbcache feature in the ext2 and ext4 filesystem implementations in the Linux kernel before 4.6 mishandles xattr block caching, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (soft lockup) via filesystem operations in environments that use many attributes, as demonstrated by Ceph and Samba.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-19
5.5
2016-10-16 CVE-2015-3288 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel
mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.4 mishandles anonymous pages, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (page tainting) via a crafted application that triggers writing to page zero.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-20
7.8
2016-10-10 CVE-2016-7117 Data Processing Errors vulnerability in multiple products
Use-after-free vulnerability in the __sys_recvmmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that is mishandled during error processing.

9.8
2016-10-10 CVE-2016-5343 Classic Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Linux Kernel
drivers/soc/qcom/qdsp6v2/voice_svc.c in the QDSP6v2 Voice Service driver for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a write request, as demonstrated by a voice_svc_send_req buffer overflow.

low complexity
linux CWE-120
critical
9.8
2016-10-10 CVE-2015-8956 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products
The rfcomm_sock_bind function in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2 allows local users to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth RFCOMM socket.

low complexity
linux google CWE-476
6.1
2016-10-10 CVE-2015-8955 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products
arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1 on arm64 platforms allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via vectors involving events that are mishandled during a span of multiple HW PMUs.
local
low complexity
linux google CWE-264
7.3
2016-10-10 CVE-2015-8950 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
arch/arm64/mm/dma-mapping.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.3, as used in the ION subsystem in Android and other products, does not initialize certain data structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by triggering a dma_mmap call.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-200
5.5
2016-10-10 CVE-2015-0572 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Multiple race conditions in drivers/char/adsprpc.c and drivers/char/adsprpc_compat.c in the ADSPRPC driver for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, allow attackers to cause a denial of service (zero-value write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a COMPAT_FASTRPC_IOCTL_INVOKE_FD ioctl call.
