CVE-2015-8709 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 6.9 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
** DISPUTED ** kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel through 4.4.1 mishandles uid and gid mappings, which allows local users to gain privileges by establishing a user namespace, waiting for a root process to enter that namespace with an unsafe uid or gid, and then using the ptrace system call. NOTE: the vendor states "there is no kernel bug here."
CVE-2015-8569 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 1.9 LOW 2.3 LOW
The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect functions in drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel through 4.3.3 do not verify an address length, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application.
CVE-2015-8575 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 2.1 LOW 4.0 MEDIUM
The sco_sock_bind function in net/bluetooth/sco.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3.4 does not verify an address length, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application.
CVE-2015-8215 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel before 4.0 does not validate attempted changes to the MTU value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (packet loss) via a value that is (1) smaller than the minimum compliant value or (2) larger than the MTU of an interface, as demonstrated by a Router Advertisement (RA) message that is not validated by a daemon, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-0272. NOTE: the scope of CVE-2015-0272 is limited to the NetworkManager product.
CVE-2015-7550 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
The keyctl_read_key function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3.4 does not properly use a semaphore, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that leverages a race condition between keyctl_revoke and keyctl_read calls.
CVE-2015-6252 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 2.1 LOW N/A
The vhost_dev_ioctl function in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a VHOST_SET_LOG_FD ioctl call that triggers permanent file-descriptor allocation.
CVE-2014-9940 2 Google, Linux 2 Android, Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 7.6 HIGH 7.0 HIGH
The regulator_ena_gpio_free function in drivers/regulator/core.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted application.
CVE-2017-9605 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function (accessible via DRM_IOCTL_VMW_GB_SURFACE_CREATE) in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.4 defines a backup_handle variable but does not give it an initial value. If one attempts to create a GB surface, with a previously allocated DMA buffer to be used as a backup buffer, the backup_handle variable does not get written to and is then later returned to user space, allowing local users to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call.
CVE-2017-7346 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.7 does not validate certain levels data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device.
CVE-2017-6353 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.1 does not properly restrict association peel-off operations during certain wait states, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double free) via a multithreaded application. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2017-5986.
CVE-2017-6346 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 6.9 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.13 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a multithreaded application that makes PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls.
CVE-2016-8405 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 4.3 MEDIUM 4.7 MEDIUM
An information disclosure vulnerability in kernel components including the ION subsystem, Binder, USB driver and networking subsystem could enable a local malicious application to access data outside of its permission levels. This issue is rated as Moderate because it first requires compromising a privileged process. Product: Android. Versions: Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18. Android ID: A-31651010.
CVE-2016-6786 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 6.9 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
kernel/events/core.c in the performance subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.0 mismanages locks during certain migrations, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka Android internal bug 30955111.
CVE-2016-6787 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2017-11-03 6.9 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
