UBUNTU-CVE-2015-8967

arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0 allows local users to bypass the "strict page permissions" protection mechanism and modify the system-call table, and consequently gain privileges, by leveraging write access...

CVE-2015-8966

arch/arm/kernel/sysoabi-compat.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted 1 FOFDGETLK, 2 FOFDSETLK, or 3 FOFDSETLKW command in an fcntl64 system call...

Breaking the Chain

Posted by James Forshaw, Wielder of Bolt Cutters. Much as we’d like it to be true, it seems undeniable that we’ll never fix all security bugs just by looking for them. One of most productive ways to dealing with this fact is to implement exploit mitigations. Project Zero considers mitigation work...

Memory corruption

The mpipowm function in lib/mpi/mpi-pow.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.11 does not ensure that memory is allocated for limb data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service stack memory corruption and panic via an addkey system call for an RSA key with a zero exponent...

CVE-2016-8650

CVE-2016-8650

CVE-2016-8650 affects the Linux kernel: the mpi_powm function in lib/mpi/mpi-pow.c can fail to allocate memory for limb data, permitting a local attacker to trigger a denial of service (stack memory corruption/panic) via an add_key RSA operation with a zero exponent. Public advisories (F5) confir...

Microsoft Windows NtUserMagSetContextInformation Kernel State Corruption Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of...

Kernel: powerpc: tm: crash via exec system call on PPC

A vulnerability in the handling of Transactional Memory on powerpc systems was found. An unprivileged local user can crash the kernel by starting a transaction, suspending it, and then calling any of the exec class system calls...

The vulnerability of the Linux operating system allows a hacker to elevate their privileges to the level of the root user.

The vulnerability of the ptrace component in the Linux operating system is related to errors in the code. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a local attacker to elevate their privileges to the level of the root user by combining system calls for exec and ptrace...

The vulnerability of the Linux operating system, which allows a hacker to send signals to privileged processes

The vulnerability of the Linux operating system’s system call clone kernel function is related to deficiencies in access control. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker, operating locally, to send signals to privileged parent processes from unprivileged child processes by creating a new...
