2016-06-27 CVE-2016-5829 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the hiddev_ioctl_usage function in drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 allow local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted (1) HIDIOCGUSAGES or (2) HIDIOCSUSAGES ioctl call.

2016-06-27 CVE-2016-5828 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
The start_thread function in arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 on powerpc platforms mishandles transactional state, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (invalid process state or TM Bad Thing exception, and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by starting and suspending a transaction before an exec system call.

2016-06-27 CVE-2016-5244 Information Exposure vulnerability in multiple products
The rds_inc_info_copy function in net/rds/recv.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading an RDS message.

2016-06-27 CVE-2016-4440 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Linux Kernel
arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 mishandles the APICv on/off state, which allows guest OS users to obtain direct APIC MSR access on the host OS, and consequently cause a denial of service (host OS crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host OS, via x2APIC mode.

2016-06-27 CVE-2016-3949 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Siemens products
Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 Profinet-enabled CPU devices with firmware before 3.2.12 and SIMATIC S7-300 Profinet-disabled CPU devices with firmware before 3.3.12 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (defect-mode transition) via crafted (1) ISO-TSAP or (2) Profibus packets.

2016-06-27 CVE-2016-3713 Improper Access Control vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The msr_mtrr_valid function in arch/x86/kvm/mtrr.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.1 supports MSR 0x2f8, which allows guest OS users to read or write to the kvm_arch_vcpu data structure, and consequently obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (system crash), via a crafted ioctl call.

2016-06-27 CVE-2016-3707 Improper Access Control vulnerability in multiple products
The icmp_check_sysrq function in net/ipv4/icmp.c in the kernel.org projects/rt patches for the Linux kernel, as used in the kernel-rt package before 3.10.0-327.22.1 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Real Time 7 and other products, allows remote attackers to execute SysRq commands via crafted ICMP Echo Request packets, as demonstrated by a brute-force attack to discover a cookie, or an attack that occurs after reading the local icmp_echo_sysrq file.

2016-06-27 CVE-2016-1583 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
The ecryptfs_privileged_open function in fs/ecryptfs/kthread.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.3 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (stack memory consumption) via vectors involving crafted mmap calls for /proc pathnames, leading to recursive pagefault handling.
