Denial Of Service (DoS)

kernel-rt is vulnerable to denial of service DoS attacks. The vulnerability exists as the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not validate certain offset fields, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service heap memory corruption via an...

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS : linux vulnerabilities (USN-3338-1)

It was discovered that the stack guard page for processes in the Linux kernel was not sufficiently large enough to prevent overlapping with the heap. An attacker could leverage this with another vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and gain administrative privileges CVE-2017-1000364 Jesse Hert...

Updated kernel-tmb packages fix security vulnerabilities

This update is based on the upstream 4.4.16 kernel and fixes at least theese security issues: nfsd in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 allows local users to bypass intended file-permission restrictions by setting a POSIX ACL, related to nfs2acl.c, nfs3acl.c, and nfs4acl.c. CVE-2016-1237. The...

USN-3050-1: Linux kernel (OMAP4) vulnerabilities

Ben Hawkes discovered that the Linux netfilter implementation did not correctly perform validation when handling IPTSOSETREPLACE events. A local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges...

Out-of-bounds

The IPTSOSETREPLACE setsockopt implementation in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service out-of-bounds read or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by leveraging in-container root access to provide a crafted...

CVE-2016-4998

CVE-2016-4998 affects the Linux kernel netfilter IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE handling. The vulnerability allows a local attacker (e.g., with container/root access) to trigger an out-of-bounds read and potentially leak kernel heap memory or cause a Denial of Service by supplying a crafted offset that cross...

CVE-2016-4998

The IPTSOSETREPLACE setsockopt implementation in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service out-of-bounds read or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by leveraging in-container root access to provide a crafted...
