DEBIAN-CVE-2017-14140

The movepages system call in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.9 doesn't check the effective uid of the target process, enabling a local attacker to learn the memory layout of a setuid executable despite ASLR...

UBUNTU-CVE-2017-13694

The acpipscompletefinalop function in drivers/acpi/acpica/psobject.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9 does not flush the node and nodeext caches and causes a kernel stack dump, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism ...

Linux kernel 'acpi_ns_terminate()' function sensitive information disclosure vulnerability

Linux is an open source operating system. A security vulnerability in the 'acpinsterminate' function in the Linux drivers/acpi/acpica/nsutils.c file allows local attackers to exploit the vulnerability by submitting a special request, obtaining sensitive information, and bypassing the KASLR...

The vulnerability of the NetBSD operating system, which allows a hacker to execute arbitrary code

The vulnerability of the NetBSD operating system arises from the operation of the ld.so command outside the buffer on the stack, when the ASRL function is enabled. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code...

DEBIAN-CVE-2017-10916
