kernel: Missing permission check in move_pages system call

The movepages system call in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel doesn't check the effective uid of the target process. This enables a local attacker to learn the memory layout of a setuid executable allowing mitigation of ASLR...

USN-3583-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

It was discovered that an out-of-bounds write vulnerability existed in the Flash-Friendly File System f2fs in the Linux kernel. An attacker could construct a malicious file system that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. CVE-2017-0750 It...

USN-3444-2 linux-lts-xenial vulnerabilities

USN-3444-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement HWE kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Jan H. Schönherr discovered that the Xen subsystem did not properly handle block IO...

kernel: net: permissions flaw in /proc/sys/net

The netctlpermissions function in net/sysctlnet.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11.5 does not properly determine uid and gid values, which allows local users to bypass intended /proc/sys/net restrictions via a crafted application...

DEBIAN-CVE-2012-2737

The userchangeiconfileauthorizedcb function in /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon in AccountsService before 0.6.22 does not properly check the UID when copying an icon file to the system cache directory, which allows local users to read arbitrary files via a race condition...

kernel: proc: protect mm start_code/end_code in /proc/pid/stat

The dotaskstat function in fs/proc/array.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39-rc1 does not perform an expected uid check, which makes it easier for local users to defeat the ASLR protection mechanism by reading the startcode and endcode fields in the /proc//stat file for a process executing a PIE...

dos flaws in open-iscsi (CVE-2007-3100)

usr/mgmtipc.c in iscsid in open-iscsi iscsi-initiator-utils before 2.0-865 checks the client's UID on the listening AFLOCAL socket instead of the new connection, which allows remote attackers to access the management interface and cause a denial of service iscsid exit or iSCSI connection loss...
