Ubuntu 16.04 LTS : Linux kernel vulnerabilities (USN-3631-1)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3631-1 advisory. It was discovered that a buffer overread vulnerability existed in the keyring subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could possibly use this to...

CVE-2016-10481

CVE-2016-10481 affects Qualcomm WLAN firmware in Android devices; when WLAN FW receives the WMI_STA_SMPS_PARAM_CMDID ioctl in a not-associated state and the virtual channel handle is unassigned, the code does not null-check the handle, causing an assert. The entry is mapped to a high-severity, ne...

kernel: v4l2: disabled memory access protection mechanism allowing privilege escalation

A bug in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the ioctl handling code of the v4l2 video driver in the Linux kernel has been found. A memory protection mechanism ensuring that user-provided buffers always point to a userspace memory were disabled, allowing destination address to be in a kernel space...

kernel: Use-after-free in snd_seq_ioctl_create_port()

A use-after-free vulnerability was found when issuing an ioctl to a sound device. This could allow a user to exploit a race condition and create memory corruption or possibly privilege escalation...

kernel: drm/vmwgfx: fix integer overflow in vmw_surface_define_ioctl()

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's vmwsurfacedefineioctl function, in the 'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfxsurface.c' file. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely...
