PowerKVM is affected by vulnerabilities in the Linux Kernel. IBM has now addressed these vulnerabilities.
CVEID: CVE-2017-6074**
DESCRIPTION:** Linux kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper handling of DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN state by the dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c. By using an application that makes an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO setsockopt system call, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/122170 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2016-9555**
DESCRIPTION:** Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds access error in sctp_sf_ootb(). By sending specially crafted data, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain a sensitive information or cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119185 for the current score

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2016-9084**
DESCRIPTION:** Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper use of the kzalloc function by vfio_pci_intrs.c. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger an integer overflow and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119406 for the current score

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2016-9083**
DESCRIPTION:** Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a mmeory corruption error in vfio_pci.c. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass integer overflow checks and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 6.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119407 for the current score

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2016-8655**
DESCRIPTION:** Linux Kernel could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a race condition and use-after-free memory errors in the packet_set_ring() function. By creating AF_PACKET sockets, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system with root privileges.

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2016-7117**
DESCRIPTION:** Linux Kernel could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a use-after-free in __sys_recvmmsg function in net/socket.c. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 7.3

CVEID: CVE-2016-6828**
DESCRIPTION:** Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to properly maintain certain SACK state in tcp_check_send_head function in include/net/tcp.h. By executing a specially-crafted SACK option, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
