the Linux kernel did not properly keep track of nested levels in guest page
tables. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of
service (host OS crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code in the host OS.
(CVE-2017-12188) It was discovered that on the PowerPC architecture, the kernel
did not properly sanitize the signal stack when handling sigreturn(). A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-1000255) Bo Zhang discovered that the netlink
wireless configuration interface in the Linux kernel did not properly validate
attributes when handling certain requests. A local attacker with the
CAP_NET_ADMIN could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2017-12153) It was discovered that the nested KVM implementation in the
Linux kernel in some situations did not properly prevent second level guests
from reading and writing the hardware CR8 register. A local attacker in a guest
could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-12154)
Vitaly Mayatskikh discovered that the SCSI subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
properly track reference counts when merging buffers. A local attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2017-12190) It was
discovered that the key management subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
properly restrict key reads on negatively instantiated keys. A local attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-12192) It
was discovered that the ATI Radeon framebuffer driver in the Linux kernel did
not properly initialize a data structure returned to user space. A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
(CVE-2017-14156) ChunYu Wang discovered that the iSCSI transport implementation
in the Linux kernel did not properly validate data structures. A local attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-14489)
Alexander Potapenko discovered an information leak in the waitid implementation
of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive
information (kernel memory). (CVE-2017-14954) It was discovered that a race
condition existed in the ALSA subsystem of the Linux kernel when creating and
deleting a port via ioctl(). A local attacker could use this to cause a denial
of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-15265)
