CVE-2016-6136

CVE-2016-6136 is a Linux kernel race condition in audit_log_single_execve_arg (auditsc.c) that can allow a local user to bypass character-set restrictions or disrupt system-call auditing via a double-fetch flaw. Connected advisories confirm multiple vendors map this CVE to Linux kernel fixes; rem...

CVE-2016-6198

The filesystem layer in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 proceeds with post-rename operations after an OverlayFS file is renamed to a self-hardlink, which allows local users to cause a denial of service system crash via a rename system call, related to fs/namei.c and fs/open.c...

CVE-2016-6197

fs/overlayfs/dir.c in the OverlayFS filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.6 does not properly verify the upper dentry before proceeding with unlink and rename system-call processing, which allows local users to cause a denial of service system crash via a rename system call that...

CVE-2016-3841

kernel: infiniband: Unprivileged process can overwrite kernel memory using rdma_ucm.ko

A flaw was found in the way certain interfaces of the Linux kernel's Infiniband subsystem used write as bi-directional ioctl replacement, which could lead to insufficient memory security checks when being invoked using the splice system call. A local unprivileged user on a system with either...
