UBUNTU-CVE-2018-17972

An issue was discovered in the procpidstack function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel through 4.18.11. It does not ensure that only root may inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task, allowing a local attacker to exploit racy stack unwinding and leak kernel task stack contents...

CVE-2017-18344

CVE-2017-18344 affects the Linux kernel before 4.14.8. The timer_create syscall in kernel/time/posix-timers.c fails to validate sigevent->sigev_notify, causing out-of-bounds access in show_timer when /proc/$PID/timers is read and enabling a local user to read arbitrary kernel memory on builds ...

CVE-2018-1121

procps-ng, procps is vulnerable to a process hiding through race condition. Since the kernel's procpidreaddir returns PID entries in ascending numeric order, a process occupying a high PID can use inotify events to determine when the process list is being scanned, and fork/exec to obtain a lower...
