"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-3360-1 advisory.

  - The ethtool_get_wol function in net/core/ethtool.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android
    before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not initialize a certain data structure, which
    allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application, aka Android internal bug
    28803952 and Qualcomm internal bug CR570754. (CVE-2014-9900)

  - The ioresources_init function in kernel/resource.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android
    before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 6 and 7 (2013) devices, uses weak permissions for /proc/iomem, which allows
    local users to obtain sensitive information by reading this file, aka Android internal bug 28814213 and
    Qualcomm internal bug CR786116. NOTE: the permissions may be intentional in most non-Android contexts.
    (CVE-2015-8944)

  - arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1 on arm64 platforms allows local users to
    gain privileges or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via vectors involving events
    that are mishandled during a span of multiple HW PMUs. (CVE-2015-8955)

  - Double free vulnerability in the sg_common_write function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel before
    4.4 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system
    crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call. (CVE-2015-8962)

  - Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain
    privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging incorrect handling of an swevent
    data structure during a CPU unplug operation. (CVE-2015-8963)

  - The tty_set_termios_ldisc function in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows local
    users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a tty data structure. (CVE-2015-8964)

  - arch/arm/kernel/sys_oabi-compat.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges via
    a crafted (1) F_OFD_GETLK, (2) F_OFD_SETLK, or (3) F_OFD_SETLKW command in an fcntl64 system call.
    (CVE-2015-8966)

  - arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0 allows local users to bypass the strict page
    permissions protection mechanism and modify the system-call table, and consequently gain privileges, by
    leveraging write access. (CVE-2015-8967)

  - The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9 does not properly restrict write operations in
    situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary
    kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg
    device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an
    incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576. (CVE-2016-10088)

  - sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.5 is vulnerable to a data race in the ALSA
    /dev/snd/timer driver resulting in local users being able to read information belonging to other users,
    i.e., uninitialized memory contents may be disclosed when a read and an ioctl happen at the same time.
    (CVE-2017-1000380)

  - The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel
    through 4.10.7 does not validate certain levels data, which allows local users to cause a denial of
    service (system hang) via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device. (CVE-2017-7346)

  - The NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations in the Linux kernel through 4.10.13 lack certain checks for the
    end of a buffer, which allows remote attackers to trigger pointer-arithmetic errors or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via crafted requests, related to fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c and fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c.
    (CVE-2017-7895)

  - The edge_bulk_in_callback function in drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel before 4.10.4 allows
    local users to obtain sensitive information (in the dmesg ringbuffer and syslog) from uninitialized kernel
    memory by using a crafted USB device (posing as an io_ti USB serial device) to trigger an integer
    underflow. (CVE-2017-8924)

  - The omninet_open function in drivers/usb/serial/omninet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.10.4 allows local
    users to cause a denial of service (tty exhaustion) by leveraging reference count mishandling.
    (CVE-2017-8925)

  - The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function (accessible via DRM_IOCTL_VMW_GB_SURFACE_CREATE) in
    drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.4 defines a backup_handle
    variable but does not give it an initial value. If one attempts to create a GB surface, with a previously
    allocated DMA buffer to be used as a backup buffer, the backup_handle variable does not get written to and
    is then later returned to user space, allowing local users to obtain sensitive information from
    uninitialized kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call. (CVE-2017-9605)
