A remote code execution vulnerability in AOSP Messaging could enable an attacker using a specially crafted file to cause memory corruption during media file and data processing. This issue is rated as High due to the possibility of remote code execution within the context of an unprivileged...

Updated util-linux packages fix security vulnerability

With the su command from util-linux before 2.29.2, it is possible for any local user to send SIGKILL to other processes with root privileges. To exploit this, the user must be able to perform su with a successful login. SIGKILL can only be sent to processes which were executed after the su proces...

PT-2017-15451

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions util-linux versions prior to 2.32.1 Description A race condition was found in the way su handled the management of child processes. A local authenticated attacker could use this flaw to kill other processes with root privileges under specific...

Android Code Execution

The vulnerability of the Android operating system’s networking subsystem is related to access control deficiencies. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code of a local malicious application within the kernel context. This issue is considered “moderate,” as ...

Android OS Bypass

The vulnerability in the Android operating system’s package manager is related to the lack of protection for service data. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a malicious actor to bypass the operating system’s defenses, which typically isolate malicious applications from other applications. This...

Android Code Execution

The vulnerability of Synaptics’ sensor screen driver in the Android operating system is related to access control deficiencies. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary local malware code within the kernel context. This issue is considered “highly critical”...

Android Code Execution

The vulnerability in the audio driver of the Qualcomm Android operating system is related to access control deficiencies. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code of a local malicious application within the kernel context. This issue is considered “high”...

Xen CMPXCHG8B Emulation Information Disclosure (XSA-200)

According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to a flaw in the x86 instruction CMPXCHG8B when handling prefixes. This is triggered because legac...

Xen SYSCALL singlestep Handling Privilege Escalation (XSA-204)

According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege elevation vulnerability in the instruction emulator when handling SYSCALL by single-stepping applications. This is due to incorrec...

CVE-2016-0320

IBM UrbanCode Deploy could allow an authenticated user to modify Ucd objects due to multiple REST endpoints not properly authorizing users editing UCD objects. This could affect the behavior of legitimately triggered processes...

CVE-2016-0320

CVE-2016-0320 affects IBM UrbanCode Deploy. Description: an authenticated user could modify UCD objects via multiple REST endpoints that do not properly authorize edits, potentially altering behavior of legitimately triggered processes. Affected versions include UrbanCode Deploy 6.0 through 6.2.x...

CVE-2016-9962

RunC allowed additional container processes via 'runc exec' to be ptraced by the pid 1 of the container. This allows the main processes of the container, if running as root, to gain access to file-descriptors of these new processes during the initialization and can lead to container escapes or...
