kernel: kvm: vmx: invept vm exit not handled

It was found that the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem did not handle the VM exits gracefully for the invept Invalidate Translations Derived from EPT instructions. On hosts with an Intel processor and invept VM exit support, an unprivileged guest user could use these instructions to crash the guest...

kernel: kvm: vmx: invvpid vm exit not handled

It was found that the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem did not handle the VM exits gracefully for the invvpid Invalidate Translations Based on VPID instructions. On hosts with an Intel processor and invppid VM exit support, an unprivileged guest user could use these instructions to crash the guest...

kernel: splice: lack of generic write checks

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's splice system call validated its parameters. On certain file systems, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to write past the maximum file size, and thus crash the system...

FreeBSD -- SCTP SCTP_SS_VALUE kernel memory corruption and disclosure

Problem Description: Due to insufficient validation of the SCTP stream ID, which serves as an array index, a local unprivileged attacker can read or write 16-bits of kernel memory. Impact: An unprivileged process can read or modify 16-bits of memory which belongs to the kernel. This may lead to...

kernel: vfs: refcount issues during unmount on symlink

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's VFS subsystem handled reference counting when performing unmount operations on symbolic links. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to exhaust all available memory on the system or, potentially, trigger a use-after-free error, resulting in ...

Linux Kernel isofs Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Linux kernel is an open source operating system. An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the linux kernel supporting the iso9660 file system CONFIGISO9660FS, which can be triggered by accessing data on iso9660 impacts containing RockRidge extension reference records, allowing an...

MGASA-2015-0006 Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities

This kernel update is based on upstream -longterm 3.14.27 and fixes the following security issues: arch/x86/kernel/tls.c in the Thread Local Storage TLS implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 allows local users to bypass the espfix protection mechanism, and consequently makes it easier...

Microsoft Office CVE-2014-6364 Use After Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Description Microsoft Office is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because it fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in...

kernel: net: insufficient permision checks of netlink messages

It was found that the permission checks performed by the Linux kernel when a netlink message was received were not sufficient. A local, unprivileged user could potentially bypass these restrictions by passing a netlink socket as stdout or stderr to a more privileged process and altering the outpu...
