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...

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...

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...

Why you can’t update it all at once?

It’s the second part of our talk with Daniil Svetlov at his radio show “Safe Environment” recorded 29.03.2017. In this part we talk about vulnerabilities in Linux and proprietary software, problems of patch an vulnerability management, and mention some related compliance requirements. Video with...

DEBIAN-CVE-2017-5972

The TCP stack in the Linux kernel 3.x does not properly implement a SYN cookie protection mechanism for the case of a fast network connection, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption by sending many TCP SYN packets, as demonstrated by an attack against the...

DEBIAN-CVE-2016-10150

Use-after-free vulnerability in the kvmioctlcreatedevice function in virt/kvm/kvmmain.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.13 allows host OS users to cause a denial of service host OS crash or possibly gain privileges via crafted ioctl calls on the /dev/kvm device...

UBUNTU-CVE-2016-9120

Race condition in the ionioctl function in drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service use-after-free by calling IONIOCFREE on two CPUs at the same time...

kernel: when NFSv4 migration is executed, kernel oops occurs at NFS client

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel: the NFSv4.2 migration code improperly initialized the kernel structure. A local, authenticated user could use this flaw to cause a panic of the NFS client denial of service...

The vulnerability of the Android operating system, which allows a hacker to increase their privileges

The vulnerability in the Linux kernel version up to 3.11 on ARM-based Android platforms is related to improper handling of user space access to the TPIDRURW register. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a malicious actor to enhance their privileges through a specially created application...
