15-Year-Old Apple macOS 0-Day Kernel Flaw Disclosed, Allows Root Access

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...

Oracle Solaris Remote Vulnerability (CNVD-2017-24337)

Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite is a suite of Sun systems products from Oracle Corporation, of which Solaris is a Unix-like operating system. A security vulnerability exists in the Kernel subcomponent of the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite, versions 10 and 11. A local...

CVE-2017-7024

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3.3 is affected. macOS before 10.12.6 is affected. tvOS before 10.2.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.2.3 is affected. The issue involves the "Kernel" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or...

DEBIAN-CVE-2017-8797

The NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel before 4.11.3 does not properly validate the layout type when processing the NFSv4 pNFS GETDEVICEINFO or LAYOUTGET operand in a UDP packet from a remote attacker. This type value is uninitialized upon encountering certain error conditions. This value is used a...

kernel: heap/stack gap jumping via unbounded stack allocations

A flaw was found in the way memory was being allocated on the stack for user space binaries. If heap or different memory region and stack memory regions were adjacent to each other, an attacker could use this flaw to jump over the stack guard gap, cause controlled memory corruption on process sta...

The vulnerability of the Android operating system’s kernel subsystem allows a hacker to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability of the Android operating system’s kernel subsystem is related to deficiencies in access control. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a malicious actor to enhance their privileges and execute arbitrary code within the kernel context, using a local malware application...

The vulnerability of the FreeBSD operating system’s kernel allows a hacker to gain privileged access and read a portion of the kernel’s memory.

The vulnerability of the FreeBSD operating system’s kernel is related to deficiencies in access control. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a malicious actor, operating locally, to gain privileged access and read part of the kernel’s memory using undefined vectors...
