kernel: remotely triggerable unbounded recursion in the vlan gro code leading to a kernel crash

Linux kernel built with the 802.1Q/802.1ad VLANCONFIGVLAN8021Q OR Virtual eXtensible Local Area NetworkCONFIGVXLAN with Transparent Ethernet BridgingTEB GRO support, is vulnerable to a stack overflow issue. It could occur while receiving large packets via GRO path, as an unlimited recursion could...

kernel: Uninitialized variable in request_key handling causes kernel crash in error handling path

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's keyring handling code: the keyrejectandlink function could be forced to free an arbitrary memory block. An attacker could use this flaw to trigger a use-after-free condition on the system, potentially allowing for privilege escalation...

kernel: Remotely triggerable recursion in GRE code leading to kernel crash

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's networking subsystem handled offloaded packets with multiple layers of encapsulation in the GRO Generic Receive Offload code path. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger unbounded recursion in the kernel that could lead to stack corruption,...

Linux Kernel Null Pointer Dereference Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

Linux kernel is an open source operating system. Linux Kernel has a denial of service vulnerability. Allowing a local attacker can exploit the vulnerability to crash the kernel and deny service to legitimate users...

AF_PACKET chocobo_root Privilege Escalation

This module exploits a race condition and use-after-free in the packetsetring function in net/packet/afpacket.c AFPACKET in the Linux kernel to execute code as root CVE-2016-8655. The bug was initially introduced in 2011 and patched in 2016 in version 4.4.0-53.74, potentially affecting a large...

OpenBSD Integer Overflow Vulnerability

OpenBSD is another BSD Unix variant system. OpenBSD suffers from an integer overflow vulnerability that can be exploited by an attacker to crash the kernel, resulting in a denial of service and possibly arbitrary code...

The vulnerability of the Linux operating system’s kernel allows a hacker to increase their privileges or cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the futexrequeue function in the Linux kernel/futex.c file is related to the lack of checks for the presence of two different futex addresses. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a local attacker to enhance their privileges by using the special command FUTEXREQUEUE, or to ga...

Linux kernel memory corruption vulnerability

The Linux kernel is the kernel used by the operating system Linux, released by the Linux Foundation in the United States. A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the net/core/skbuff.c file in Linux kernel version 4.7-rc6. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause the kernel to crash...

Integer overflow

Integer signedness error in the genkbdcommonioctl function in sys/dev/kbd/kbd.c in FreeBSD 9.3 before p42, 10.1 before p34, 10.2 before p17, and 10.3 before p3 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, cause a denial of service memory overwrite and kernel crash, or ga...

FreeBSD Privilege Acquisition Vulnerability

FreeBSD is a set of Unix-like free operating systems in the FreeBSD project, headed by the Core Team team, and is an important branch of Unix-like systems that have evolved through BSD, 386BSD, and 4.4BSD. A security vulnerability exists in FreeBSD version 10.x, which stems from a failure of sock...

Cisco Nexus 5000 Series USB Driver Denial of Service Vulnerability (cisco-sa-20151204-nexus)

A vulnerability in the USB driver for Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches could allow an unauthenticated, local attacker to cause a denial of service DoS condition due to a kernel crash.
