kernel: denial of service (DoS) attack against IPv6 network stacks due to improper handling of Router Advertisements.

It was found that the Linux kernel's TCP/IP protocol suite implementation for IPv6 allowed the Hop Limit value to be set to a smaller value than the default one. An attacker on a local network could use this flaw to prevent systems on that network from sending or receiving network packets...

DEBIAN-CVE-2015-2830

arch/x86/kernel/entry64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.19.2 does not prevent the TSCOMPAT flag from reaching a user-mode task, which might allow local users to bypass the seccomp or audit protection mechanism via a crafted application that uses the 1 fork or 2 close system call, as demonstrated b...

Vulnerabilities in the OpenSUSE operating system that allow malicious actors to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of protected information

The multiple vulnerabilities in the kernel-ps3-debugsource package of the OpenSUSE operating system can be exploited, leading to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of protected information. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely...

Design/Logic Flaw

The kernel in Apple iOS before 8.3, Apple OS X before 10.10.3, and Apple TV before 7.2 does not properly handle TCP headers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors...

kernel: kvm: excessive pages un-pinning in kvm_iommu_map error path

It was found that the fix for CVE-2014-3601 was incomplete: the Linux kernel's kvmiommumappages function still handled IOMMU mapping failures incorrectly. A privileged user in a guest with an assigned host device could use this flaw to crash the host...

UBUNTU-CVE-2014-9322

arch/x86/kernel/entry64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.17.5 does not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment SS segment register, which allows local users to gain privileges by triggering an IRET instruction that leads to access to a GS Base address from the wrong space...

kernel: x86: local privesc due to bad_iret and paranoid entry incompatibility
