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 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2018-4110 advisory.

  - The usb_destroy_configuration function in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem in the Linux     kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the maximum number of configurations and interfaces before     attempting to release resources, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds     write access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-17558)

  - net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability for new, get, and del operations, which allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data structure is shared across all net namespaces.
    (CVE-2017-17448)

  - The get_endpoints function in drivers/usb/misc/usbtest.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16532)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux 4.x kernel's implementation of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This     allowed a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited range of kernel memory. (CVE-2018-1068)

  - The ext4_valid_block_bitmap function in fs/ext4/balloc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image     because balloc.c and ialloc.c do not validate bitmap block numbers. (CVE-2018-1093)

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2018-1062 advisory.

  - drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7, in certain unusual hardware configurations,     allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets. (CVE-2016-8633)

  - The arch_pick_mmap_layout function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not     properly randomize the legacy base address, which makes it easier for local users to defeat the intended     restrictions on the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE flag, and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism for a setuid or     setgid program, by disabling stack-consumption resource limits. (CVE-2016-3672)

  - The prepare_vmcs02 function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.3 does not ensure that     the CR8-load exiting and CR8-store exiting L0 vmcs02 controls exist in cases where L1 omits the use     TPR shadow vmcs12 control, which allows KVM L2 guest OS users to obtain read and write access to the     hardware CR8 register. (CVE-2017-12154)

  - 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)

  - The Linux Kernel 2.6.32 and later are affected by a denial of service, by flooding the diagnostic port     0x80 an exception can be triggered leading to a kernel panic. (CVE-2017-1000407)

  - The dccp_disconnect function in net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.3 allows local users to     gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call during     the DCCP_LISTEN state. (CVE-2017-8824)

  - The move_pages system call in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.9 doesn't check the effective     uid of the target process, enabling a local attacker to learn the memory layout of a setuid executable     despite ASLR. (CVE-2017-14140)

  - The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.10.6 does not validate addition of certain levels data, which allows local users to trigger an     integer overflow and out-of-bounds write, and cause a denial of service (system hang or crash) or possibly     gain privileges, via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device. (CVE-2017-7294)

  - In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, during DMA allocation, due     to wrong data type of size, allocation size gets truncated which makes allocation succeed when it should     fail. (CVE-2017-9725)

  - A flaw was found in the hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte function in mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.
    A superfluous implicit page unlock for VM_SHARED hugetlbfs mapping could trigger a local denial of service     (BUG). (CVE-2017-15127)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in network namespaces code affecting the Linux kernel before     4.14.11. The function get_net_ns_by_id() in net/core/net_namespace.c does not check for the net::count     value after it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr, which could lead to double free and memory     corruption. This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged local user to induce kernel memory corruption     on the system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully     ruled out, although it is thought to be unlikely. (CVE-2017-15129)

  - Race condition in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.8 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted /dev/snd/seq     ioctl calls, related to sound/core/seq/seq_clientmgr.c and sound/core/seq/seq_ports.c. (CVE-2017-15265)

  - The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4,     when CONFIG_NLMON is enabled, does not restrict observations of Netlink messages to a single net     namespace, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on the system. (CVE-2017-17449)

  - The usb_destroy_configuration function in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem in the Linux     kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the maximum number of configurations and interfaces before     attempting to release resources, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds     write access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-17558)

  - The Linux kernel version 3.3-rc1 and later is affected by a vulnerability lies in the processing of     incoming L2CAP commands - ConfigRequest, and ConfigResponse messages. This info leak is a result of     uninitialized stack variables that may be returned to an attacker in their uninitialized state. By     manipulating the code flows that precede the handling of these configuration messages, an attacker can     also gain some control over which data will be held in the uninitialized stack variables. This can allow     him to bypass KASLR, and stack canaries protection - as both pointers and stack canaries may be leaked in     this manner. Combining this vulnerability (for example) with the previously disclosed RCE vulnerability in     L2CAP configuration parsing (CVE-2017-1000251) may allow an attacker to exploit the RCE against kernels     which were built with the above mitigations. These are the specifics of this vulnerability: In the     function l2cap_parse_conf_rsp and in the function l2cap_parse_conf_req the following variable is declared     without initialization: struct l2cap_conf_efs efs; In addition, when parsing input configuration     parameters in both of these functions, the switch case for handling EFS elements may skip the memcpy call     that will write to the efs variable: ... case L2CAP_CONF_EFS: if (olen == sizeof(efs)) memcpy(&efs;, (void
    *)val, olen); ... The olen in the above if is attacker controlled, and regardless of that if, in both of     these functions the efs variable would eventually be added to the outgoing configuration request that is     being built: l2cap_add_conf_opt(&ptr;, L2CAP_CONF_EFS, sizeof(efs), (unsigned long) &efs;); So by sending a     configuration request, or response, that contains an L2CAP_CONF_EFS element, but with an element length     that is not sizeof(efs) - the memcpy to the uninitialized efs variable can be avoided, and the     uninitialized variable would be returned to the attacker (16 bytes). (CVE-2017-1000410)

  - The acpi_smbus_hc_add function in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.15 allows local     users to obtain sensitive address information by reading dmesg data from an SBS HC printk call.
    (CVE-2018-5750)

  - 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. (CVE-2016-7913)

    Android kernel. Android ID A-34624167. (CVE-2017-13166)

  - The rngapi_reset function in crypto/rng.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2 allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference). (CVE-2017-15116)

  - A non-privileged user is able to mount a fuse filesystem on RHEL 6 or 7 and crash a system if an     application punches a hole in a file that does not end aligned to a page boundary. (CVE-2017-15121)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in fs/userfaultfd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6. The issue is     related to the handling of fork failure when dealing with event messages. Failure to fork correctly can     lead to a situation where a fork event will be removed from an already freed list of events with     userfaultfd_ctx_put(). (CVE-2017-15126)

  - net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability for new, get, and del operations, which allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data structure is shared across all net namespaces.
    (CVE-2017-17448)

  - The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11, and 4.9.x     before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption)     or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action.
    (CVE-2017-18017)

  - The dm_get_from_kobject function in drivers/md/dm.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.3 allow local users to     cause a denial of service (BUG) by leveraging a race condition with __dm_destroy during creation and     removal of DM devices. (CVE-2017-18203)

  - The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.13.3 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (assertion failure, and hypervisor hang or crash) via an out-of bounds guest_irq value, related to     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c and virt/kvm/eventfd.c. (CVE-2017-1000252)

  - The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.15 might allow attackers to     cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a     negative wake or requeue value. (CVE-2018-6927)

  - In the Linux kernel 4.12, 3.10, 2.6 and possibly earlier versions a race condition vulnerability exists in     the sound system, this can lead to a deadlock and denial of service condition. (CVE-2018-1000004)

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

  - Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and indirect branch prediction may allow     unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis     of the data cache. (CVE-2017-5754)

  - The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.11     mishandles node splitting, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference     and panic) via a crafted application, as demonstrated by the keyring key type, and key addition and link     creation operations. (CVE-2017-12193)

  - The dccp_disconnect function in net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.3 allows local users to     gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call during     the DCCP_LISTEN state. (CVE-2017-8824)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3583-1 advisory.

  - A elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Upstream Linux file system. Product: Android. Versions:
    Android kernel. Android ID: A-36817013. (CVE-2017-0750)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the snd_pcm_info function in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel allows     attackers to gain privileges via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2017-0861)

  - The Linux Kernel 2.6.32 and later are affected by a denial of service, by flooding the diagnostic port     0x80 an exception can be triggered leading to a kernel panic. (CVE-2017-1000407)

  - A security flaw was discovered in the nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.13.3. This function does not check whether the required attributes are present in a     Netlink request. This request can be issued by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and may result in     a NULL pointer dereference and system crash. (CVE-2017-12153)

  - 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)

  - The keyctl_read_key function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Key Management subcomponent in the Linux     kernel before 4.13.5 does not properly consider that a key may be possessed but negatively instantiated,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS and system crash) via a crafted KEYCTL_READ     operation. (CVE-2017-12192)

  - An integer overflow in the qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.12.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and     system crash) by leveraging root access. (CVE-2017-14051)

  - The move_pages system call in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.9 doesn't check the effective     uid of the target process, enabling a local attacker to learn the memory layout of a setuid executable     despite ASLR. (CVE-2017-14140)

  - The atyfb_ioctl function in drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb_base.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.10 does     not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel stack memory by reading locations associated with padding bytes. (CVE-2017-14156)

  - The iscsi_if_rx function in drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.2 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging incorrect length validation.
    (CVE-2017-14489)

  - 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-2017-15102)

  - The sctp_do_peeloff function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14 does not check whether     the intended netns is used in a peel-off action, which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls.
    (CVE-2017-15115)

  - security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.5 does not consider the case of a NULL payload in     conjunction with a nonzero length value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted add_key or keyctl system call, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2017-12192. (CVE-2017-15274)

  - The bnep_add_connection function in net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 does not     ensure that an l2cap socket is available, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted     application. (CVE-2017-15868)

  - The usb_serial_console_disconnect function in drivers/usb/serial/console.c in the Linux kernel before     4.13.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device, related to disconnection and failed setup.
    (CVE-2017-16525)

  - net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     for add_callback and remove_callback operations, which allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure is shared across all net namespaces.
    (CVE-2017-17450)

  - The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c) in the Linux kernel before 4.14.8 does not validate that the     underlying cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed, allowing a local attacker able to use the AF_ALG-based     hash interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3 hash algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3) to cause a     kernel stack buffer overflow by executing a crafted sequence of system calls that encounter a missing     SHA-3 initialization. (CVE-2017-17806)

  - The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11, and 4.9.x     before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption)     or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action.
    (CVE-2017-18017)

  - The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.12 does not restrict the address     calculated by a certain rounding operation, which allows local users to map page zero, and consequently     bypass a protection mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by making crafted shmget and shmat     system calls in a privileged context. (CVE-2017-5669)

  - Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and indirect branch prediction may allow     unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis     of the data cache. (CVE-2017-5754)

  - The ip6_find_1stfragopt function in net/ipv6/output_core.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.3 allows local     users to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and infinite loop) by leveraging the ability to open     a raw socket. (CVE-2017-7542)

  - 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 dccp_disconnect function in net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.3 allows local users to     gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call during     the DCCP_LISTEN state. (CVE-2017-8824)

  - In the Linux kernel through 4.14.13, the rds_cmsg_atomic function in net/rds/rdma.c mishandles cases where     page pinning fails or an invalid address is supplied, leading to an rds_atomic_free_op NULL pointer     dereference. (CVE-2018-5333)

  - In the Linux kernel through 4.14.13, drivers/block/loop.c mishandles lo_release serialization, which     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (__lock_acquire use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified     other impact. (CVE-2018-5344)

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

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2018-4041 advisory.

  - 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)

  - The tcp_disconnect function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12 allows local users to cause     a denial of service (__tcp_select_window divide-by-zero error and system crash) by triggering a disconnect     within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path. (CVE-2017-14106)

  - In the Linux kernel before version 4.12, Kerberos 5 tickets decoded when using the RXRPC keys incorrectly     assumes the size of a field. This could lead to the size-remaining variable wrapping and the data pointer     going over the end of the buffer. This could possibly lead to memory corruption and possible privilege     escalation. (CVE-2017-7482)

  - The usb_serial_console_disconnect function in drivers/usb/serial/console.c in the Linux kernel before     4.13.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device, related to disconnection and failed setup.
    (CVE-2017-16525)

  - The snd_usb_create_streams function in sound/usb/card.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local     users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16529)

  - drivers/usb/core/config.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device, related to the USB_DT_INTERFACE_ASSOCIATION descriptor. (CVE-2017-16531)

  - The dccp_disconnect function in net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.3 allows local users to     gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call during     the DCCP_LISTEN state. (CVE-2017-8824)

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

  - CVE-2017-8824     Mohamed Ghannam discovered that the DCCP implementation     did not correctly manage resources when a socket is     disconnected and reconnected, potentially leading to a     use-after-free. A local user could use this for denial     of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for     privilege escalation. On systems that do not already     have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by     disabling it:echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf     install dccp false

  - CVE-2017-16538     Andrey Konovalov reported that the dvb-usb-lmedm04 media     driver did not correctly handle some error conditions     during initialisation. A physically present user with a     specially designed USB device can use this to cause a     denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2017-16644     Andrey Konovalov reported that the hdpvr media driver     did not correctly handle some error conditions during     initialisation. A physically present user with a     specially designed USB device can use this to cause a     denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2017-16995     Jann Horn discovered that the Extended BPF verifier did     not correctly model the behaviour of 32-bit load     instructions. A local user can use this for privilege     escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17448     Kevin Cernekee discovered that the netfilter subsystem     allowed users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any     user namespace, not just the root namespace, to enable     and disable connection tracking helpers. This could lead     to denial of service, violation of network security     policy, or have other impact.

  - CVE-2017-17449     Kevin Cernekee discovered that the netlink subsystem     allowed users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any     user namespace to monitor netlink traffic in all net     namespaces, not just those owned by that user namespace.
    This could lead to exposure of sensitive information.

  - CVE-2017-17450     Kevin Cernekee discovered that the xt_osf module allowed     users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any user     namespace to modify the global OS fingerprint list.

  - CVE-2017-17558     Andrey Konovalov reported that that USB core did not     correctly handle some error conditions during     initialisation. A physically present user with a     specially designed USB device can use this to cause a     denial of service (crash or memory corruption), or     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17712     Mohamed Ghannam discovered a race condition in the IPv4     raw socket implementation. A local user could use this     to obtain sensitive information from the kernel.

  - CVE-2017-17741     Dmitry Vyukov reported that the KVM implementation for     x86 would over-read data from memory when emulating an     MMIO write if the kvm_mmio tracepoint was enabled. A     guest virtual machine might be able to use this to cause     a denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2017-17805     It was discovered that some implementations of the     Salsa20 block cipher did not correctly handle     zero-length input. A local user could use this to cause     a denial of service (crash) or possibly have other     security impact.

  - CVE-2017-17806     It was discovered that the HMAC implementation could be     used with an underlying hash algorithm that requires a     key, which was not intended. A local user could use this     to cause a denial of service (crash or memory     corruption), or possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17807     Eric Biggers discovered that the KEYS subsystem lacked a     check for write permission when adding keys to a     process's default keyring. A local user could use this     to cause a denial of service or to obtain sensitive     information.

  - CVE-2017-17862     Alexei Starovoitov discovered that the Extended BPF     verifier ignored unreachable code, even though it would     still be processed by JIT compilers. This could possibly     be used by local users for denial of service. It also     increases the severity of bugs in determining     unreachable code.

  - CVE-2017-17863     Jann Horn discovered that the Extended BPF verifier did     not correctly model pointer arithmetic on the stack     frame pointer. A local user can use this for privilege     escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17864     Jann Horn discovered that the Extended BPF verifier     could fail to detect pointer leaks from conditional     code. A local user could use this to obtain sensitive     information in order to exploit other vulnerabilities.

  - CVE-2017-1000407     Andrew Honig reported that the KVM implementation for     Intel processors allowed direct access to host I/O port     0x80, which is not generally safe. On some systems this     allows a guest VM to cause a denial of service (crash)     of the host.

  - CVE-2017-1000410     Ben Seri reported that the Bluetooth subsystem did not     correctly handle short EFS information elements in L2CAP     messages. An attacker able to communicate over Bluetooth     could use this to obtain sensitive information from the     kernel.

The various problems in the Extended BPF verifier can be mitigated by disabling use of Extended BPF by unprivileged users:sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1

Debian disables unprivileged user namespaces by default, but if they are enabled (via the kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl) then CVE-2017-17448 can be exploited by any local user.

Race condition in raw_sendmsg function allows denial-of-service or kernel addresses leak

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of raw_sendmsg allowing a local attacker to panic the kernel or possibly leak kernel addresses. A local attacker, with the privilege of creating raw sockets, can abuse a possible race condition when setting the socket option to allow the kernel to automatically create ip header values and thus potentially escalate their privileges. (CVE-2017-17712)

Use-after-free vulnerability in DCCP socket

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in DCCP socket code affecting the Linux kernel since 2.6.16. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to their escalate privileges. (CVE-2017-8824)

Stack-based out-of-bounds read via vmcall instruction

Linux kernel compiled with the KVM virtualization (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read access issue. It could occur when emulating vmcall instructions invoked by a guest. A guest user/process could use this flaw to disclose kernel memory bytes.
(CVE-2017-17741)

Unchecked capabilities in net/netfilter/xt_osf.c allows for unprivileged modification to systemwide fingerprint list

net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for add_callback and remove_callback operations, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure is shared across all net namespaces. (CVE-2017-17450)

Missing capabilities check in net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c allows for unprivileged access to systemwide nfnl_cthelper_list structure

net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for new, get, and del operations, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data structure is shared across all net namespaces. (CVE-2017-17448)
