"Infinite recursion in ahash.c by triggering EBUSY on a full queue :

A vulnerability was found in crypto/ahash.c in the Linux kernel which
allows attackers to cause a denial of service (API operation calling
its own callback, and infinite recursion) by triggering EBUSY on a
full queue.(CVE-2017-7618)

Time subsystem allows local users to discover real PID values :

The time subsystem in the Linux kernel, when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS is
enabled, allows local users to discover real PID values (as
distinguished from PID values inside a PID namespace) by reading the
/proc/timer_list file, related to the print_timer function in
kernel/time/timer_list.c and the __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
function in kernel/time/timer.c.(CVE-2017-5967)

Stack-based buffer overflow in sg_ioctl function :

The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allows
local users to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow)
or possibly have unspecified other impacts via a large command size in
an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call, leading to out-of-bounds write access
in the sg_write function. (CVE-2017-7187)

Incorrect error handling in the set_mempolicy and mbind compat
syscalls in mm/mempolicy.c :

Incorrect error handling in the set_mempolicy() and mbind() compat
syscalls in mm/mempolicy.c; in the Linux kernel allows local users to
obtain sensitive information from uninitialized stack data by
triggering failure of a certain bitmap operation. (CVE-2017-7616)

Race condition in Link Layer Control :

A race condition leading to a NULL pointer dereference was found in
the Linux kernel's Link Layer Control implementation. A local attacker
with access to ping sockets could use this flaw to crash the system.
(CVE-2017-2671)

Overflow in check for priv area size :

It was found that the packet_set_ring() function of the Linux kernel's
networking implementation did not properly validate certain block-size
data. A local attacker with CAP_NET_RAW capability could use this flaw
to trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in the crash of the system.
Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully
ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-7308)"
