Multiple memory leaks in error paths in fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allow local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted XFS filesystem operations.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The hi3660_stub_clk_probe function in     drivers/clk/hisilicon/clk-hi3660-stub.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.16 allows local users to cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference) by triggering a     failure of resource retrieval.(CVE-2018-10074i1/4%0

  - An information leak flaw was found in the RAM Disks     Memory Copy (rd_mcp) backend driver of the iSCSI Target     subsystem of the Linux kernel. A privileged user could     use this flaw to leak the contents of kernel memory to     an iSCSI initiator remote client.(CVE-2014-4027i1/4%0

  - It was found that in the Linux kernel version 4.2-rc1     to 4.3-rc1, a use of uninitialized 'n_proto',     'ip_proto', and 'thoff' variables in
    __skb_flow_dissect() function can lead to a remote     denial-of-service via malformed MPLS     packet.(CVE-2017-13715i1/4%0

  - It was found that the packet_set_ring() function of the     Linux kernel's networking implementation did not     properly validate certain block-size data. A local     attacker with CAP_NET_RAW capability could use this     flaw to trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in the     crash of the system. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out.(CVE-2017-7308i1/4%0

  - A weakness was found in the Linux ASLR implementation.
    Any user able to running 32-bit applications in a x86     machine can disable ASLR by setting the RLIMIT_STACK     resource to unlimited.(CVE-2016-3672i1/4%0

  - sound/soc/msm/qdsp6v2/msm-audio-effects-q6-v2.c in the     MSM QDSP6 audio driver for the Linux kernel 3.x, as     used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android     contributions for MSM devices and other products,     allows attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds write and memory corruption) or possibly     have unspecified other impact via a crafted application     that makes an ioctl call triggering incorrect use of a     parameters pointer.(CVE-2016-2065i1/4%0

  - A race condition flaw was found in the ioctl_send_fib()     function in the Linux kernel's aacraid implementation.
    A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by     changing a certain size value.(CVE-2016-6480i1/4%0

  - The omninet_open function in     drivers/usb/serial/omninet.c in the Linux kernel before     4.10.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (tty exhaustion) by leveraging reference count     mishandling.(CVE-2017-8925i1/4%0

  - The tower_probe function in     drivers/usb/misc/legousbtower.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.8.1 allows local users (who are physically     proximate for inserting a crafted USB device) to gain     privileges by leveraging a write-what-where condition     that occurs after a race condition and a NULL pointer     dereference.(CVE-2017-15102i1/4%0

  - The rtnl_fill_link_ifmap function in     net/core/rtnetlink.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5     does not initialize a certain data structure, which     allows local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel stack memory by reading a Netlink     message.(CVE-2016-4486i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's     lp_setup() function where it doesn't apply any bounds     checking when passing 'lp=none'. This can result into     overflow of the parport_nr array. An attacker with     control over kernel command line can overwrite kernel     code and data with fixed (0xff)     values.(CVE-2017-1000363i1/4%0

  - sound/core/hrtimer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1     does not prevent recursive callback access, which     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (deadlock) via a crafted ioctl call.(CVE-2016-2549i1/4%0

  - The pn_recvmsg function in net/phonet/datagram.c in the     Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates a certain length     value before ensuring that an associated data structure     has been initialized, which allows local users to     obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory     via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system     call.(CVE-2013-7265i1/4%0

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCTP     implementation. A local user could use this flaw to     cause a denial of service on the system by triggering a     kernel panic when creating multiple sockets in parallel     while the system did not have the SCTP module     loaded.(CVE-2015-5283i1/4%0

  - It was found that in Linux kernel the mount table     expands by a power-of-two with each bind mount command.
    If a system is configured to allow non-privileged user     to do bind mounts, or allows to do so in a container or     unprivileged mount namespace, then non-privileged user     is able to cause a local DoS by overflowing the mount     table, which causes a deadlock for the whole     system.(CVE-2016-6213i1/4%0

  - The cifs_iovec_write function in fs/cifs/file.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.13.5 does not properly handle     uncached write operations that copy fewer than the     requested number of bytes, which allows local users to     obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, cause     a denial of service (memory corruption and system     crash), or possibly gain privileges via a writev system     call with a crafted pointer.(CVE-2014-0069i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of XFS file attributes. Two memory leaks were detected     in xfs_attr_shortform_list and xfs_attr3_leaf_list_int     when running a docker container backed by xfs/overlay2.
    A dedicated attacker could possible exhaust all memory     and create a denial of service     situation.(CVE-2016-9685i1/4%0

  - Multiple integer overflows in the MDSS driver for the     Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center     (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other     products, allow attackers to cause a denial of service     or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large     size value, related to mdss_compat_utils.c, mdss_fb.c,     and mdss_rotator.c.(CVE-2016-5344i1/4%0

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through     4.14.8 ignores unreachable code, even though it would     still be processed by JIT compilers. This behavior,     also considered an improper branch-pruning logic issue,     could possibly be used by local users for denial of     service.(CVE-2017-17862i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the SCTP protocol. A remote attacker could trigger     an out-of-bounds read with an offset of up to 64kB     potentially causing the system to     crash.(CVE-2016-9555i1/4%0

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the     kernel's socket recvmmsg subsystem. This may allow     remote attackers to corrupt memory and may allow     execution of arbitrary code. This corruption takes     place during the error handling routines within
    __sys_recvmmsg() function.(CVE-2016-7117)

  - A heap-buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the     arcmsr_iop_message_xfer() function in     'drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c' file in the Linux     kernel through 4.8.2. The function does not restrict a     certain length field, which allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service via an     ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code. This can     potentially cause kernel heap corruption and arbitrary     kernel code execution.(CVE-2016-7425)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of seq_file where a local attacker could manipulate     memory in the put() function pointer. This could lead     to memory corruption and possible privileged     escalation.(CVE-2016-7910)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in sys_ioprio_get() was     found due to get_task_ioprio() accessing the     task-i1/4zio_context without holding the task lock and     could potentially race with exit_io_context(), leading     to a use-after-free.(CVE-2016-7911)

  - The xc2028_set_config function in     drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors     involving omission of the firmware name from a certain     data structure. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2016-7913)

  - The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node() function in     'lib/assoc_array.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3     does not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allows     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer     dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application     that uses associative-array data     structures.(CVE-2016-7914)

  - The hid_input_field() function in     'drivers/hid/hid-core.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.6     allows physically proximate attackers to obtain     sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds read) by connecting a     device.(CVE-2016-7915)

  - Race condition in the environ_read() function in     'fs/proc/base.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.5.4     allows local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory by reading a '/proc/*/environ' file     during a process-setup time interval in which     environment-variable copying is     incomplete.(CVE-2016-7916)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux networking subsystem     where a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities     could cause an out-of-bounds memory access by creating     a smaller-than-expected ICMP header and sending to its     destination via sendto().(CVE-2016-8399)

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to a null     pointer dereference flaw. It could occur on x86     platform, when emulating an undefined instruction. An     attacker could use this flaw to crash the host kernel     resulting in DoS.(CVE-2016-8630)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability due to a lack of input     filtering of incoming fragmented datagrams was found in     the IP-over-1394 driver firewire-net in a fragment     handling code in the Linux kernel. The vulnerability     exists since firewire supported IPv4, i.e. since     version 2.6.31 (year 2009) till version v4.9-rc4. A     maliciously formed fragment with a respectively large     datagram offset would cause a memcpy() past the     datagram buffer, which would cause a system panic or     possible arbitrary code execution.The flaw requires     firewire-net module to be loaded and is remotely     exploitable from connected firewire devices, but not     over a local network.(CVE-2016-8633)

  - It was discovered that the Linux kernel since 3.6-rc1     with 'net.ipv4.tcp_fastopen' set to 1 can hit BUG()     statement in tcp_collapse() function after making a     number of certain syscalls leading to a possible system     crash.(CVE-2016-8645)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. An     unprivileged local user could trigger oops in     shash_async_export() by attempting to force the     in-kernel hashing algorithms into decrypting an empty     data set.(CVE-2016-8646)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel key management     subsystem in which a local attacker could crash the     kernel or corrupt the stack and additional memory     (denial of service) by supplying a specially crafted     RSA key. This flaw panics the machine during the     verification of the RSA key.(CVE-2016-8650)

  - A race condition issue leading to a use-after-free flaw     was found in the way the raw packet sockets     implementation in the Linux kernel networking subsystem     handled synchronization while creating the TPACKET_V3     ring buffer. A local user able to open a raw packet     socket (requires the CAP_NET_RAW capability) could use     this flaw to elevate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2016-8655)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's     networking subsystem handled offloaded packets with     multiple layers of encapsulation in the GRO (Generic     Receive Offload) code path. A remote attacker could use     this flaw to trigger unbounded recursion in the kernel     that could lead to stack corruption, resulting in a     system crash.(CVE-2016-8666)

  - A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's     implementation of VFIO. An attacker issuing an ioctl     can create a situation where memory is corrupted and     modify memory outside of the expected area. This may     overwrite kernel memory and subvert kernel     execution.(CVE-2016-9083)

  - The use of a kzalloc with an integer multiplication     allowed an integer overflow condition to be reached in     vfio_pci_intrs.c. This combined with CVE-2016-9083 may     allow an attacker to craft an attack and use     unallocated memory, potentially crashing the     machine.(CVE-2016-9084)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the SCTP protocol. A remote attacker could trigger     an out-of-bounds read with an offset of up to 64kB     potentially causing the system to crash.(CVE-2016-9555)

  - It was found that the blk_rq_map_user_iov() function in     the Linux kernel's block device implementation did not     properly restrict the type of iterator, which could     allow a local attacker to read or write to arbitrary     kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by leveraging write access to a     /dev/sg device.(CVE-2016-9576)

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX) feature     enabled(nested=1), is vulnerable to an uncaught     exception issue. It could occur if an L2 guest was to     throw an exception which is not handled by an L1     guest.(CVE-2016-9588)

  - It was discovered that root can gain direct access to     an internal keyring, such as '.dns_resolver' in RHEL-7     or '.builtin_trusted_keys' upstream, by joining it as     its session keyring. This allows root to bypass module     signature verification by adding a new public key of     its own devising to the keyring.(CVE-2016-9604)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of XFS file attributes. Two memory leaks were detected     in xfs_attr_shortform_list and xfs_attr3_leaf_list_int     when running a docker container backed by xfs/overlay2.
    A dedicated attacker could possible exhaust all memory     and create a denial of service     situation.(CVE-2016-9685)

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2017-3658 advisory.

  - The ping_unhash function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.8 is too late in obtaining a     certain lock and consequently cannot ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which allows local     users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging access to the protocol value of IPPROTO_ICMP in a     socket system call. (CVE-2017-2671)

  - The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.2 does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM     protection mechanism, which allows local users to read or write to kernel memory locations in the first     megabyte (and bypass slab-allocation access restrictions) via an application that opens the /dev/mem file,     related to arch/x86/mm/init.c and drivers/char/mem.c. (CVE-2017-7889)

  - The bio_map_user_iov and bio_unmap_user functions in block/bio.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.8 do     unbalanced refcounting when a SCSI I/O vector has small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
    The bio_add_pc_page function merges them into one, but the page reference is never dropped. This causes a     memory leak and possible system lockup (exploitable against the host OS by a guest OS user, if a SCSI disk     is passed through to a virtual machine) due to an out-of-memory condition. (CVE-2017-12190)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

* A race condition was found in the Linux kernel, present since v3.14-rc1 through v4.12. The race happens between threads of inotify_handle_event() and vfs_rename() while running the rename operation against the same file. As a result of the race the next slab data or the slab's free list pointer can be corrupted with attacker-controlled data, which may lead to the privilege escalation.
(CVE-2017-7533, Important)

* It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel did not properly validate layout type when processing NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-lockup the system and thus cause denial of service.
(CVE-2017-8797, Important)

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2017-3607 advisory.

  - Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 allows local users     to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls     without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c     and net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c. (CVE-2016-10200)

  - It was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.11-rc8 that root can gain direct access to an internal     keyring, such as '.dns_resolver' in RHEL-7 or '.builtin_trusted_keys' upstream, by joining it as its     session keyring. This allows root to bypass module signature verification by adding a new public key of     its own devising to the keyring. (CVE-2016-9604)

  - The __ip6_append_data function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.3 is too late in     checking whether an overwrite of an skb data structure may occur, which allows local users to cause a     denial of service (system crash) via crafted system calls. (CVE-2017-9242)

  - Multiple memory leaks in error paths in fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allow     local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted XFS filesystem operations.
    (CVE-2016-9685)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Oracle Linux host is missing a security update for the kernel package(s).

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2017-1842 advisory.

  - The do_umount function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 does not require the     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for do_remount_sb calls that change the root filesystem to read-only, which     allows local users to cause a denial of service (loss of writability) by making certain unshare system     calls, clearing the / MNT_LOCKED flag, and making an MNT_FORCE umount system call. (CVE-2014-7975)

  - The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2, when the GNU     Compiler Collection (gcc) stack protector is enabled, uses an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout     data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and panic) by reading     the /proc/keys file. (CVE-2016-7042)

  - Race condition in the netlink_dump function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.3     allows local users to cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted application that makes sendmsg system calls, leading to a free operation associated with a     new dump that started earlier than anticipated. (CVE-2016-9806)

  - The blk_rq_map_user_iov function in block/blk-map.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 does not properly     restrict the type of iterator, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory     locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg device.
    (CVE-2016-9576)

  - The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9 does not properly restrict write operations in     situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary     kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg     device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576. (CVE-2016-10088)

  - The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr     call, which allows local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program     with restrictions on execute permissions. (CVE-2016-7097)

  - The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.4 allows local users to cause     a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large     command size in an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call, leading to out-of-bounds write access in the sg_write     function. (CVE-2017-7187)

  - crypto/mcryptd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.15 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) by using an AF_ALG socket with an incompatible algorithm, as     demonstrated by mcryptd(md5). (CVE-2016-10147)

  - arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9 mismanages the #BP and #OF exceptions, which allows     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) by declining to handle an exception thrown by     an L2 guest. (CVE-2016-9588)

  - The nested_vmx_check_vmptr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.8 improperly     emulates the VMXON instruction, which allows KVM L1 guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     memory consumption) by leveraging the mishandling of page references. (CVE-2017-2596)

  - The TCP stack in the Linux kernel before 4.8.10 mishandles skb truncation, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted application that makes sendto system calls, related     to net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c and net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c. (CVE-2016-8645)

  - The ipv4_pktinfo_prepare function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.9 allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via (1) an application that makes crafted system     calls or possibly (2) IPv4 traffic with invalid IP options. (CVE-2017-5970)

  - Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 allows local users to gain     privileges via a crafted application that makes concurrent perf_event_open system calls for moving a     software group into a hardware context. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for     CVE-2016-6786. (CVE-2017-6001)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.18 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via vectors involving a NULL value for a certain     match field, related to the keyring_search_iterator function in keyring.c. (CVE-2017-2647)

  - The inet_csk_clone_lock function in net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.15     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging use of the accept system call. (CVE-2017-8890)

  - The tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock function in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 mishandles     inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other     impact via crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890. (CVE-2017-9077)

  - The pivot_root implementation in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 does not properly     interact with certain locations of a chroot directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (mount-tree loop) via . (dot) values in both arguments to the pivot_root system call.
    (CVE-2014-7970)

  - crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.2 does not verify that a setkey operation has been     performed on an AF_ALG socket before an accept system call is processed, which allows local users to cause     a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted application that does not     supply a key, related to the lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c. (CVE-2015-8970)

  - Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 allows local users     to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls     without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c     and net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c. (CVE-2016-10200)

  - fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9 does not restrict how many mounts may exist in a mount     namespace, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and deadlock) via     MS_BIND mount system calls, as demonstrated by a loop that triggers exponential growth in the number of     mounts. (CVE-2016-6213)

  - It was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.11-rc8 that root can gain direct access to an internal     keyring, such as '.dns_resolver' in RHEL-7 or '.builtin_trusted_keys' upstream, by joining it as its     session keyring. This allows root to bypass module signature verification by adding a new public key of     its own devising to the keyring. (CVE-2016-9604)

  - The ping_unhash function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.8 is too late in obtaining a     certain lock and consequently cannot ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which allows local     users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging access to the protocol value of IPPROTO_ICMP in a     socket system call. (CVE-2017-2671)

  - The keyring_search_aux function in security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.79 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a request_key system call     for the dead type. (CVE-2017-6951)

  - Incorrect error handling in the set_mempolicy and mbind compat syscalls in mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.10.9 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized stack data by     triggering failure of a certain bitmap operation. (CVE-2017-7616)

  - The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.2 does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM     protection mechanism, which allows local users to read or write to kernel memory locations in the first     megabyte (and bypass slab-allocation access restrictions) via an application that opens the /dev/mem file,     related to arch/x86/mm/init.c and drivers/char/mem.c. (CVE-2017-7889)

  - The IPv6 fragmentation implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 does not consider that the     nexthdr field may be associated with an invalid option, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted socket and send     system calls. (CVE-2017-9074)

  - The dccp_v6_request_recv_sock function in net/dccp/ipv6.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 mishandles     inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other     impact via crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890. (CVE-2017-9076)

  - The __ip6_append_data function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.3 is too late in     checking whether an overwrite of an skb data structure may occur, which allows local users to cause a     denial of service (system crash) via crafted system calls. (CVE-2017-9242)

  - Multiple race conditions in the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allow local     users to cause a denial of service (disk corruption) by writing to a page that is associated with a     different user's file after unsynchronized hole punching and page-fault handling. (CVE-2015-8839)

  - Multiple memory leaks in error paths in fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allow     local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted XFS filesystem operations.
    (CVE-2016-9685)

  - The NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel before 4.11.3 does not properly validate the layout type when     processing the NFSv4 pNFS GETDEVICEINFO or LAYOUTGET operand in a UDP packet from a remote attacker. This     type value is uninitialized upon encountering certain error conditions. This value is used as an array     index for dereferencing, which leads to an OOPS and eventually a DoS of knfsd and a soft-lockup of the     whole system. (CVE-2017-8797)

  - The sctp_v6_create_accept_sk function in net/sctp/ipv6.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 mishandles     inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other     impact via crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890. (CVE-2017-9075)

  - CVE-2016-4997: The compat IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE and     IP6T_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt implementations in the     netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel allow local     users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service     (memory corruption) by leveraging in-container root     access to provide a crafted offset value that triggers     an unintended decrement (bnc#986362).

  - CVE-2016-5829: Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in     the hiddev_ioctl_usage function in     drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c in the Linux kernel allow     local users to cause a denial of service or possibly     have unspecified other impact via a crafted (1)     HIDIOCGUSAGES or (2) HIDIOCSUSAGES ioctl call     (bnc#986572).

  - CVE-2016-4470: The key_reject_and_link function in     security/keys/key.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure     that a certain data structure is initialized, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system     crash) via vectors involving a crafted keyctl request2     command (bnc#984755).

  - CVE-2016-5244: The rds_inc_info_copy function in     net/rds/recv.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a     certain structure member, which allowed remote attackers     to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory     by reading an RDS message (bnc#983213).

  - CVE-2016-1583: The ecryptfs_privileged_open function in     fs/ecryptfs/kthread.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service     (stack memory consumption) via vectors involving crafted     mmap calls for /proc pathnames, leading to recursive     pagefault handling (bnc#983143).

  - CVE-2016-4913: The get_rock_ridge_filename function in     fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel mishandled NM (aka     alternate name) entries containing \0 characters, which     allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted isofs filesystem (bnc#980725).

  - CVE-2016-4580: The x25_negotiate_facilities function in     net/x25/x25_facilities.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly initialize a certain data structure, which     allowed attackers to obtain sensitive information from     kernel stack memory via an X.25 Call Request     (bnc#981267).

  - CVE-2016-4805: Use-after-free vulnerability in     drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and system crash, or spinlock) or possibly     have unspecified other impact by removing a network     namespace, related to the ppp_register_net_channel and     ppp_unregister_channel functions (bnc#980371).

  - CVE-2015-7833: The usbvision driver in the Linux kernel     allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial     of service (panic) via a nonzero bInterfaceNumber value     in a USB device descriptor (bnc#950998).

  - CVE-2016-2187: The gtco_probe function in     drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel allowed     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via     a crafted endpoints value in a USB device descriptor     (bnc#971944).

  - CVE-2016-4482: The proc_connectinfo function in     drivers/usb/core/devio.c in the Linux kernel did not     initialize a certain data structure, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory via a crafted USBDEVFS_CONNECTINFO ioctl call     (bnc#978401).

  - CVE-2016-4565: The InfiniBand (aka IB) stack in the     Linux kernel incorrectly relies on the write system     call, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a uAPI interface     (bnc#979548).

  - CVE-2016-4485: The llc_cmsg_rcv function in     net/llc/af_llc.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize     a certain data structure, which allowed attackers to     obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by     reading a message (bnc#978821).

  - CVE-2016-4578: sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel     did not initialize certain r1 data structures, which     allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel stack memory via crafted use of the ALSA timer     interface, related to the (1) snd_timer_user_ccallback     and (2) snd_timer_user_tinterrupt functions     (bnc#979879).

  - CVE-2016-4569: The snd_timer_user_params function in     sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel did not     initialize a certain data structure, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory via crafted use of the ALSA timer interface     (bnc#979213).
