kernel: Incorrect type conversion for size during dma allocation

A flaw was found where the kernel truncated the value used to indicate the size of a buffer which it would later become zero using an untruncated value. This can corrupt memory outside of the original allocation...

CVE-2018-4150

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 11.3 is affected. macOS before 10.13.4 is affected. tvOS before 11.3 is affected. watchOS before 4.3 is affected. The issue involves the "Kernel" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause...

CVE-2017-7070

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. macOS before 10.12.4 is affected. The issue involves the "Kernel" component. It allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the screen-locking protection mechanism that should have been in place upon closing the lid...

kernel: pmd can become dirty without going through a COW cycle

A flaw was found in the patches used to fix the 'dirtycow' vulnerability CVE-2016-5195. An attacker, able to run local code, can exploit a race condition in transparent huge pages to modify usually read-only huge pages...

CVE-2017-15128

A flaw was found in the hugetlbmcopyatomicpte function in mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.12. A lack of size check could cause a denial of service BUG...

CVE-2017-15127

A flaw was found in the hugetlbmcopyatomicpte function in mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13. A superfluous implicit page unlock for VMSHARED hugetlbfs mapping could trigger a local denial of service BUG...

A security researcher on New Year's eve made public the details of an unpatched security vulnerability in Apple's macOS operating system that can be exploited to take complete control of a system. On the first day of 2018, a researcher using the online moniker Siguza released the details of the...

CVE-2017-13842

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. macOS before 10.13.1 is affected. The issue involves the "Kernel" component. It allows attackers to bypass intended memory-read restrictions via a crafted app...

UBUNTU-CVE-2017-16646

drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/dib0700devices.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service BUG and system crash or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device...

UBUNTU-CVE-2017-14991

The sgioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.4 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized kernel heap-memory locations via an SGGETREQUESTTABLE ioctl call for /dev/sg0...

kernel: load_elf_ binary() does not take account of the need to allocate sufficient space for the entire binary

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel loaded ELF executables. Provided that an application was built as Position Independent Executable PIE, the loader could allow part of that application's data segment to map over the memory area reserved for its stack, potentially resulting in memory...

BSA-2017-353

Security Advisory ID : BSA-2017-353 Component : Linux Kernel Revision : 3.0: Interim The IPv6 DCCP implementation in the Linux kernel mishandles inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls, a related issue t...

kernel: crypto: GPF in lrw_crypt caused by null-deref

The lrwcrypt function in 'crypto/lrw.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows local users to cause a system crash and a denial of service by the NULL pointer dereference via accept2 system call for AFALG socket without calling setkey first to set a cipher key...

CVE-2017-10122

Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite subcomponent: Kernel. Supported versions that are affected are 10 and 11. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Solaris executes to compromise Solaris...

kernel: ext4 filesystem page fault race condition with fallocate call.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel when attempting to "punch a hole" in files existing on an ext4 filesystem. When punching holes into a file races with the page fault of the same area, it is possible that freed blocks remain referenced from page cache pages mapped to process' address space...
