    Wen Xu discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly keep meta-     data information consistent in some situations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4     image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-10881)

    Wen Xu discovered that the XFS filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle an     error condition with a corrupted xfs image. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious xfs image     that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-13094)

    It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle setgid file creation when performed by a     non-member of the group. A local attacker could use this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2018-13405)

    Silvio Cesare discovered that the generic VESA frame buffer driver in the Linux kernel contained an     integer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-13406)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3820-3 advisory.

    Felix Wilhelm discovered that the Xen netback driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform input     validation in some situations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-15471)

    It was discovered that the generic SCSI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly enforce permissions on     kernel memory access. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly elevate     privileges. (CVE-2017-13168)

    It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the CD-ROM driver of the Linux kernel. A local     attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2018-16658)

    It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the HID Bluetooth implementation in the Linux kernel     that could lead to a buffer overwrite. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-9363)
