SUSE CVE-2014-5077

The sctpassocupdate function in net/sctp/associola.c in the Linux kernel through 3.15.8, when SCTP authentication is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and OOPS by starting to establish an association between two endpoints immediately after an...

SUSE 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...

Exploiting null-dereferences in the Linux kernel

Posted by Seth Jenkins, Project Zero For a fair amount of time, null-deref bugs were a highly exploitable kernel bug class. Back when the kernel was able to access userland memory without restriction, and userland programs were still able to map the zero page, there were many easy techniques for...

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS : Linux kernel (Azure) vulnerabilities (USN-5774-1)

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5774-1 advisory. Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly track memory allocations for anonymous VMA mappings in some situations, leading to potential...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

Linux kernel’s KVM is vulnerable to denial of service. The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference which allows an unprivileged local attacker on the host to issue specific ioctl calls, causing a kernel oops condition that results in a denial of service...

kernel: KVM: NULL pointer dereference in kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic_fast()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s KVM when attempting to set a SynIC IRQ. This issue makes it possible for a misbehaving VMM to write to SYNIC/STIMER MSRs, causing a NULL pointer dereference. This flaw allows an unprivileged local attacker on the host to issue specific ioctl calls, causing a...

kernel: KVM: NULL pointer dereference in kvm_dirty_ring_push in virt/kvm/dirty_ring.c

A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in KVM when releasing a vCPU with dirty ring support enabled. This flaw allows an unprivileged local attacker on the host to issue specific ioctl calls, causing a kernel oops condition that results in a denial of service...
