| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | 5.0 |
| 2016-11-16 | CVE-2016-7916 | Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel Race condition in the environ_read function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.4 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a /proc/*/environ file during a process-setup time interval in which environment-variable copying is incomplete. | 5.5 |
| 2016-11-16 | CVE-2016-7915 | Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel The hid_input_field function in drivers/hid/hid-core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) by connecting a device, as demonstrated by a Logitech DJ receiver. | 5.5 |
| 2016-11-16 | CVE-2016-7914 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 does not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application that uses associative-array data structures, as demonstrated by the keyutils test suite. | 5.5 |
| 2016-11-16 | CVE-2016-7913 | Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors involving omission of the firmware name from a certain data structure. | 7.8 |
| 2016-11-16 | CVE-2016-7912 | Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel Use-after-free vulnerability in the ffs_user_copy_worker function in drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_fs.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 allows local users to gain privileges by accessing an I/O data structure after a certain callback call. | 7.8 |
| 2016-11-16 | CVE-2016-7911 | Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel Race condition in the get_task_ioprio function in block/ioprio.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted ioprio_get system call. | 7.8 |
| 2016-11-16 | CVE-2016-7910 | Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel Use-after-free vulnerability in the disk_seqf_stop function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.1 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop operation even if the corresponding start operation had failed. | 7.8 |
| 2016-11-16 | CVE-2015-8964 | Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel The tty_set_termios_ldisc function in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a tty data structure. | 5.5 |
