CVE-2016-0728

The CVE-2016-0728 issue affects the Linux kernel up to version 4.4.1, specifically in the keyring handling path join_session_keyring() within security/keys/process_keys.c. A flaw in object reference management in an error path can allow a local, unprivileged user to escalate privileges or cause a...

CVE-2013-4312

The CVE-2013-4312 issue affects the Linux kernel prior to 4.4.1, where a local attacker could bypass per-process file-descriptor limits by sending descriptors over a local UNIX domain socket before closing them, causing memory exhaustion and potential denial of service. The root cause is the hand...

CVE-2015-8767

CVE-2015-8767 affects the Linux kernel SCTP path: net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c fails to properly synchronize a lock with a socket during heartbeat timeout processing, allowing a local attacker to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted sctp_accept calls. Affected: Linux kernel before 4.3 (pe...

CVE-2015-8539

CVE-2015-8539 is referenced in MiracleLinux AXSA-2018-2578 as a Linux kernel KEYS subsystem flaw fixed by updating the kernel to a version with mitigations. The vulnerability arises in the KEYS subsystem of the Linux kernel prior to 4.4, where crafted keyctl commands can negatively instantiate a ...

CVE-2016-0723

CVE-2016-0723 is a Linux kernel race condition in the tty_ioctl handler (drivers/tty/tty_io.c) that can allow a local attacker to obtain memory content or trigger a denial of service by manipulating a TIOCGETD call during a TIOCSETD operation. The initial description states the flaw exists in ker...

CVE-2015-7566

CVE-2015-7566 affects the Linux kernel driver drivers/usb/serial/visor.c (clie_5_attach). A USB device without a bulk-out endpoint can cause a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a denial of service and potential system crash. The vulnerability is confirmed by Nessus advisories referencing the v...

CVE-2015-8785

CVE-2015-8785: The fuse_fill_write_pages function in fs/fuse/file.c of the Linux kernel (versions before 4.4) is exploitable locally to cause a denial of service via a writev call that triggers a zero-length first iov. This is a local, non-privileged issue with an attacker able to induce an infin...

CVE-2015-7513

The CVE-2015-7513 vulnerability affects arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel prior to 4.4, where PIT counter values are not reset during guest state restoration. This can allow guest OS users to trigger a denial-of-service (divide-by-zero) and host crash via a zero PIT value, related to kvm_vm_...

CVE-2015-7550

CVE-2015-7550 concerns the Linux kernel’s keyctl_read_key in security/keys/keyctl.c, where a missing semaphore around a race between keyctl_revoke and keyctl_read can allow a local user to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and system crash (DoS) and possibly other impact. The vulnerability exist...

CVE-2015-8709

CVE-2015-8709 affects the Linux kernel, specifically the code path in kernel/ptrace.c up to version 4.4.1. The issue arises from how uid and gid mappings are handled when establishing a user namespace, allowing a local user to gain privileges by waiting for a root process to enter that namespace ...

CVE-2015-8575

CVE-2015-8575: In Linux kernel

CVE-2015-8787

The CVE-2015-8787 entry concerns the Linux kernel, specifically the nf_nat_redirect_ipv4() function in net/netfilter/nf_nat_redirect.c. The vulnerability arises in kernel builds before 4.4, where remote attackers can send IPv4 packets to an incompletely configured interface to trigger a NULL poin...
