kernel: mm subsystem does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM protection mechanism

The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.10.10 does not properly enforce the CONFIGSTRICTDEVMEM protection mechanism, which allows local users to read or write to kernel memory locations in the first megabyte and bypass slab-allocation access restrictions via an application that opens the...

kernel: Use after free in SCSI generic device interface (CVE-2016-9576 regression)

It was found that the fix for CVE-2016-9576 was incomplete: the Linux kernel's sg implementation did not properly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNELDS option is set. A local attacker to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service...

Kernel: kvm: use after free in complete_emulated_mmio

arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service use-after-free via a crafted application that leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave, sgdt, and sidt...

kernel: Use after free in SCSI generic device interface

It was found that the blkrqmapuseriov function in the Linux kernel's block device implementation did not properly restrict the type of iterator, which could allow a local attacker to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service use-after-free by leveraging write...

CVE-2017-7541

Kernel memory corruption due to a buffer overflow was found in brcmfcfg80211mgmttx function in Linux kernels from v3.9-rc1 to v4.13-rc1. The vulnerability can be triggered by sending a crafted NL80211CMDFRAME packet via netlink. This flaw is unlikely to be triggered remotely as certain userspace...
