| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017-03-01 | CVE-2017-6345 | Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel The LLC subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.9.13 does not ensure that a certain destructor exists in required circumstances, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls. | 7.8 |
| 2017-02-24 | CVE-2017-5669 | The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.12 does not restrict the address calculated by a certain rounding operation, which allows local users to map page zero, and consequently bypass a protection mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by making crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged context. | 7.8 |
| 2017-02-23 | CVE-2017-6214 | Infinite Loop vulnerability in Linux Kernel The tcp_splice_read function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with the URG flag. | 7.5 |
| 2017-02-22 | CVE-2016-8636 | Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in Linux Kernel Integer overflow in the mem_check_range function in drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_mr.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption), obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, or possibly have unspecified other impact via a write or read request involving the "RDMA protocol over infiniband" (aka Soft RoCE) technology. | 7.8 |
| 2017-02-18 | CVE-2017-6074 | Double Free vulnerability in multiple products The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.11 mishandles DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN state, which allows local users to obtain root privileges or cause a denial of service (double free) via an application that makes an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO setsockopt system call. | 7.8 |
| 2017-02-18 | CVE-2017-6001 | Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application that makes concurrent perf_event_open system calls for moving a software group into a hardware context. | 7.0 |
| 2017-02-14 | CVE-2017-5972 | Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel The TCP stack in the Linux kernel 3.x does not properly implement a SYN cookie protection mechanism for the case of a fast network connection, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many TCP SYN packets, as demonstrated by an attack against the kernel-3.10.0 package in CentOS Linux 7. | 7.5 |
| 2017-02-14 | CVE-2017-5970 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The ipv4_pktinfo_prepare function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via (1) an application that makes crafted system calls or possibly (2) IPv4 traffic with invalid IP options. | 7.5 |
| 2017-02-08 | CVE-2017-0449 | An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Broadcom Wi-Fi driver could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. | 7.0 |
| 2017-02-08 | CVE-2017-0447 | An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the HTC touchscreen driver could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. | 7.0 |
