DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6516 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the ioctl_file_dedupe_range function in fs/ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly gain privileges by changing a certain count value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.

2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6480 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by changing a certain size value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.

high complexity
linux CWE-362
5.1
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6198 Improper Access Control vulnerability in multiple products
The filesystem layer in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 proceeds with post-rename operations after an OverlayFS file is renamed to a self-hardlink, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a rename system call, related to fs/namei.c and fs/open.c.

low complexity
linux oracle CWE-284
5.5
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6197 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
fs/overlayfs/dir.c in the OverlayFS filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.6 does not properly verify the upper dentry before proceeding with unlink and rename system-call processing, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a rename system call that specifies a self-hardlink.

low complexity
oracle linux CWE-20
5.5
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6187 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The apparmor_setprocattr function in security/apparmor/lsm.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.5 does not validate the buffer size, which allows local users to gain privileges by triggering an AppArmor setprocattr hook.

low complexity
linux CWE-119
7.8
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6162 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel 4.7
net/core/skbuff.c in the Linux kernel 4.7-rc6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact via certain IPv6 socket operations.

low complexity
linux CWE-20
7.8
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6156 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the ec_device_ioctl_xcmd function in drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_dev.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) by changing a certain size value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.
local
high complexity
linux CWE-362
5.1
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-6136 Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in the audit_log_single_execve_arg function in kernel/auditsc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows local users to bypass intended character-set restrictions or disrupt system-call auditing by changing a certain string, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.
local
high complexity
linux CWE-362
4.7
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-5696 Information Exposure vulnerability in multiple products
net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7 does not properly determine the rate of challenge ACK segments, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack TCP sessions via a blind in-window attack.

high complexity
google oracle linux CWE-200
4.8
2016-08-06 CVE-2016-5412 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S in the Linux kernel through 4.7 on PowerPC platforms, when CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV is enabled, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS infinite loop) by making a H_CEDE hypercall during the existence of a suspended transaction.
