Kernel: error in exception handling leads to DoS

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled exceptions delivered after a stack switch operation via Mov SS or Pop SS instructions. During the stack switch operation, the processor did not deliver interrupts and exceptions, rather they are delivered once the first instruction after the...

kernel: ptrace() incorrect error handling leads to corruption and DoS

An address corruption flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel built with hardware breakpoint CONFIGHAVEHWBREAKPOINT support. While modifying a h/w breakpoint via 'modifyuserhwbreakpoint' routine, an unprivileged user/process could use this flaw to crash the system kernel resulting in DoS OR to...

kernel: nfsd: Incorrect handling of long RPC replies

The NFS2/3 RPC client could send long arguments to the NFS server. These encoded arguments are stored in an array of memory pages, and accessed using pointer variables. Arbitrarily long arguments could make these pointers point outside the array and cause an out-of-bounds memory access. A remote...

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...

Linux Kernel Denial of Service Vulnerability (CNVD-2018-10153)

The Linux kernel is a computer operating system kernel written in C and assembly language, compliant with the POSIX standard, and distributed under the GNU General Public License. Linux Kernel suffers from a ptrace error handling denial of service vulnerability. A local user can exploit this...

AF_PACKET packet_set_ring Privilege Escalation

This module exploits a heap-out-of-bounds write in the packetsetring function in net/packet/afpacket.c AFPACKET in the Linux kernel to execute code as root CVE-2017-7308. The bug was initially introduced in 2011 and patched in version 4.10.6, potentially affecting a large number of kernels; howev...

CVE-2018-0016 Junos OS: Kernel crash upon receipt of crafted CLNP datagrams

Receipt of a specially crafted Connectionless Network Protocol CLNP datagram destined to an interface of a Junos OS device may result in a kernel crash or lead to remote code execution. Devices are only vulnerable to the specially crafted CLNP datagram if 'clns-routing' or ES-IS is explicitly...

CVE-2018-0016

CVE-2018-0016 affects Junos OS 15.1 (and related 15.1.x and 15.1X5x/15.1X53 lines) where CLNS routing or ES-IS is configured. A specially crafted CLNP datagram can crash the kernel or enable remote code execution on interfaces that have CLNS routing/ESIS enabled; devices with CLNS disabled are no...
