  - The Btrfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.19 does not ensure that the visible xattr state is     consistent with a requested replacement, which allows local users to bypass intended ACL settings and gain     privileges via standard filesystem operations (1) during an xattr-replacement time window, related to a     race condition, or (2) after an xattr-replacement attempt that fails because the data does not fit.
    (CVE-2014-9710)

  - An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel through     4.18.11. It does not ensure that only root may inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task, allowing a     local attacker to exploit racy stack unwinding and leak kernel task stack contents. (CVE-2018-17972)

  - The Linux kernel before 4.8 allows local users to bypass ASLR on setuid programs (such as /bin/su) because     install_exec_creds() is called too late in load_elf_binary() in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and thus the     ptrace_may_access() check has a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat. (CVE-2019-11190)

  - Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value was subject to an integer overflow     in the Linux kernel when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs). A remote attacker could use this     to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127,     4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit 3b4929f65b0d8249f19a50245cd88ed1a2f78cff. (CVE-2019-11477)

  - Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment in the Linux     kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote     attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases     4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit     f070ef2ac66716357066b683fb0baf55f8191a2e. (CVE-2019-11478)

  - Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel default MSS is hard-coded to 48 bytes. This allows a     remote peer to fragment TCP resend queues significantly more than if a larger MSS were enforced. A remote     attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases     4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commits     967c05aee439e6e5d7d805e195b3a20ef5c433d6 and 5f3e2bf008c2221478101ee72f5cb4654b9fc363.

  - Race condition in the handle_to_path function in     fs/fhandle.c in the Linux kernel through 3.19.1 allows     local users to bypass intended size restrictions and     trigger read operations on additional memory locations     by changing the handle_bytes value of a file handle     during the execution of this function.(CVE-2015-1420)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's SCTP implementation handled authentication key     reference counting during INIT collisions. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-1421)

  - The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before     3.18.8 does not properly consider the length of the     Read-Copy Update (RCU) grace period for redirecting     lookups in the absence of caching, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption or system crash) via a flood of     packets.(CVE-2015-1465)

  - A flaw was found in the way the nft_flush_table()     function of the Linux kernel's netfilter tables     implementation flushed rules that were referencing     deleted chains. A local user who has the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2015-1573)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel randomized the stack for processes on certain     64-bit architecture systems, such as x86-64, causing     the stack entropy to be reduced by four.(CVE-2015-1593)
