Details

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel’s dm snapshot facility. A remote
authenticated user could exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information
or modify/corrupt data. (CVE-2013-4299)

Hannes Frederic Sowa discovered a flaw in the Linux kernel’s UDP
Fragmentation Offload (UFO). An unprivileged local user could exploit this
flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain
administrative privileges. (CVE-2013-4470)

Multiple integer overflow flaws were discovered in the Alchemy LCD frame-
buffer drivers in the Linux kernel. An unprivileged local user could
exploit this flaw to gain administrative privileges. (CVE-2013-4511)

Nico Golde and Fabian Yamaguchi reported a flaw in the Linux kernel’s
driver for Agere Systems HERMES II Wireless PC Cards. A local user with the
CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of
service or possibly gain adminstrative priviliges. (CVE-2013-4514)

Nico Golde and Fabian Yamaguchi reported a flaw in the Linux kernel’s
driver for Beceem WIMAX chipset based devices. An unprivileged local user
could exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory.
(CVE-2013-4515)

A flaw in the handling of memory regions of the kernel virtual machine
(KVM) subsystem was discovered. A local user with the ability to assign a
device could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (memory
consumption). (CVE-2013-4592)

Catalin Marinas reported a flaw in the get_user and put_user API functions
in the Linux kernel on ARM platforms. An unprivileged local user could
exploit this flaw to gain administrator privileges. (CVE-2013-6282)

Nico Golde and Fabian Yamaguchi reported a flaw in the Linux kernel’s
debugfs filesystem. An administrative local user could exploit this flaw to
cause a denial of service (OOPS). (CVE-2013-6378)

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel’s compat ioctls for Adaptec
AACRAID scsi raid devices. An unprivileged local user could send
administrative commands to these devices potentially compromising the data
stored on the device. (CVE-2013-6383)

Nico Golde reported a flaw in the Linux kernel’s userspace IO (uio) driver.
A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (memory
corruption) or possibly gain privileges. (CVE-2013-6763)

Evan Huus reported a buffer overflow in the Linux kernel’s radiotap header
parsing. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service (buffer over-
read) via a specially crafted header. (CVE-2013-7027)

An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel’s SIOCWANDEV ioctl
call. A local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could exploit this
flaw to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory.
(CVE-2014-1444)

An information leak was discovered in the wanxl ioctl function the Linux
kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to obtain potentially
sensitive information from kernel memory. (CVE-2014-1445)
