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...

DEBIAN-CVE-2016-2070

The tcpcwndreduction function in net/ipv4/tcpinput.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service divide-by-zero error and system crash via crafted TCP traffic...

kernel: x86-64: IRET faults during NMIs processing

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled IRET faults during the processing of NMIs. An unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially although highly unlikely, escalate their privileges on the system...

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

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled GS segment register base switching when recovering from a SS stack segment fault on an erroneous return to user space. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system...

kernel: net: pppol2tp: level handling in pppol2tp_[s,g]etsockopt()

A flaw was found in the way the pppol2tpsetsockopt and pppol2tpgetsockopt functions in the Linux kernel's PPP over L2TP implementation handled requests with a non-SOLPPPOL2TP socket option level. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system...

CVE-2014-2038

The nfscanextendwrite function in fs/nfs/write.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.3 relies on a write delegation to extend a write operation without a certain up-to-date verification, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory in opportunistic circumstances by...

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS : linux-lts-raring vulnerabilities (USN-2041-1)

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's dm snapshot facility. A remote authenticated user could exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information or modify/corrupt data. CVE-2013-4299 Alan Chester reported a flaw in the IPv6 Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP of the Linux kernel. A...

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS : linux-lts-saucy vulnerabilities (USN-2042-1)

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's dm snapshot facility. A remote authenticated user could exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information or modify/corrupt data. CVE-2013-4299 Hannes Frederic Sowa discovered a flaw in the Linux kernel's UDP Fragmenttation Offload UFO. An unprivileged...

kernel: request_module() OOM local DoS

The requestmodule function in kernel/kmod.c in the Linux kernel before 3.4 does not set a certain killable attribute, which allows local users to cause a denial of service memory consumption via a crafted application...

Design/Logic Flaw

The robust futex implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28 does not properly handle processes that make exec system calls, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges by writing to a memory location in a child process...

kernel: GFS2: The setflags ioctl() doesn't check file ownership

The dogfs2setflags function in fs/gfs2/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34-git10 does not verify the ownership of a file, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a SETFLAGS ioctl request...
