DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
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.

2016-11-16 CVE-2015-8963 Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging incorrect handling of an swevent data structure during a CPU unplug operation.

high complexity
linux CWE-416
7.0
2016-11-16 CVE-2015-8962 Double Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Double free vulnerability in the sg_common_write function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call.

7.3
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.

low complexity
linux CWE-400
7.5
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.

low complexity
linux canonical CWE-119
7.8
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-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.
