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...
PT-2017-18626
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.10.4 Description The issue allows local users to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized kernel memory. This is achieved by using a crafted USB device, posing as an io ti USB serial device, to trigger a...
Google Android kernel ION subsystem boost vulnerability (CNVD-2017-03805)
Android on Nexus 5X is a Linux-based open source operating system developed by Google and the Open Handheld Alliance OHA for the Nexus 5X smart device. kernel ION is a kernel memory management subsystem. The kernel ION subsystem in Android is vulnerable to a privilege extraction vulnerability. Th...

The vulnerability of the IOKit component in Mac OS X and iOS operating systems is related to the lack of protection for service data. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker, acting locally, to gain access to protected information about the kernel’s memory structure using undefined...
Mac OS X iOS Information Disclosure
The vulnerability of the IOKit component in Mac OS X and iOS operating systems exists due to insufficient validation of input data. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow a malicious actor, operating remotely, to obtain confidential information from the kernel’s memory through a specially create...
Mac OS X Privilege Escalation
The vulnerability of the Mac OS X operating system’s kext tools arises from an operation that goes beyond the buffer boundaries in memory. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in privileged context or trigger a service failure memory corruption through ...
Mac OS X Info Disclosure
The vulnerability of the IOAcceleratorFamily component in the Mac OS X operating system is related to the lack of protection for service data. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an intruder, acting locally, to gain access to protected information about the kernel’s memory layout using...
Mac OS X Info Disclosure
The vulnerability of the IOSurface component in the Mac OS X operating system is related to the lack of protection for service data. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an intruder, acting locally, to gain access to protected information about the kernel’s memory layout using uncertain vector...

kernel: State machine confusion bug in vfio driver leading to memory corruption
A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's implementation of VFIO. An attacker issuing an ioctl can create a situation where memory is corrupted and modify memory outside of the expected area. This may overwrite kernel memory and subvert kernel execution...

CVE-2017-6347
The skbs processed by ipcmsgrecv are not guaranteed to be linear e.g. when sending UDP packets over loopback with MSGMORE. Using csumpartial on potentially the whole skb len is dangerous; instead be on the safe side and use skbchecksum. This may lead to an infoleak as the kernel memory may be...
SUSE-SU-2017:0575-1 Security update for the Linux Kernel
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to 4.4.49 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2016-7117: Use-after-free vulnerability in the sysrecvmmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to execute arbitra...
MGASA-2017-0064 Updated kernel-tmb packages fixes security vulnerabilities
This kernel-tmb update is based on upstream 4.4.50 and fixes at least the following security issues: The cgroup offline implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.8.11 mishandles certain drain operations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service system hang by leveraging access to ...
Lurking in 11 years of Linux kernel to mention the right vulnerability-exposure-vulnerability warning-the black bar safety net
Vulnerability number CVE-2017-6074 Vulnerability overview The Linux kernel recently also exposed a privilege escalation vulnerability that can be traced back to 2005, the vulnerabilities affect the Linux operating system major releases, including Redhat, Debian, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu. Using this...
kernel: use after free in dccp protocol
A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Datagram Congestion Control Protocol DCCP implementation freed SKB socket buffer resources for a DCCPPKTREQUEST packet when the IPV6RECVPKTINFO option is set on the socket. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to alter the...
DEBIAN-CVE-2016-8636
Integer overflow in the memcheckrange function in drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxemr.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service memory corruption, obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, or possibly have unspecified other impact via a write or read...
