"Buffer overflow in mp_override_legacy_irq() :

Buffer overflow in the mp_override_legacy_irq() function in
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.2 allows
local users to gain privileges via a crafted ACPI table.
(CVE-2017-11473)

A race between inotify_handle_event() and sys_rename() :

A race condition was found in the Linux kernel, present since
v3.14-rc1 through v4.12. The race happens between threads of
inotify_handle_event() and vfs_rename() while running the rename
operation against the same file. As a result of the race the next slab
data or the slab's free list pointer can be corrupted with
attacker-controlled data, which may lead to the privilege escalation.
(CVE-2017-7533)

Integer overflow in ip6_find_1stfragopt() causes infinite loop :

An integer overflow vulnerability in ip6_find_1stfragopt() function
was found. A local attacker that has privileges (of CAP_NET_RAW) to
open raw socket can cause an infinite loop inside the
ip6_find_1stfragopt() function.(CVE-2017-7542)

Double fetch vulnerability in saa7164_bus_get function The
saa7164_bus_get function in drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-bus.c in
the Linux kernel through 4.10.14 allows local users to cause a denial
of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified
other impact by changing a certain sequence-number value, aka a
'double fetch' vulnerability. Please note, the saa7164 driver is not
enabled in the Amazon Linux AMI kernel (CVE-2017-8831)"
