CVE-2018-17182 – Linux Kernel - VMA Use-After-Free via Buggy vmacache_flush_all() Fastpath Local Privilege Escalation
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2018-17182
19 Sep 2018 — An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.18.8. The vmacache_flush_all function in mm/vmacache.c mishandles sequence number overflows. An attacker can trigger a use-after-free (and possibly gain privileges) via certain thread creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and dereference operations. Se ha descubierto un problema en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.18.8. La función vmacache_flush_all en mm/vmacache.c manipula incorrectamente los desbordamientos de números de secuencias. • https://packetstorm.news/files/id/149557 • CWE-416: Use After Free •
CVE-2018-14641 – kernel: a bug in ip_frag_reasm() can cause a crash in ip_do_fragment()
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2018-14641
18 Sep 2018 — A security flaw was found in the ip_frag_reasm() function in net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c in the Linux kernel from 4.19-rc1 to 4.19-rc3 inclusive, which can cause a later system crash in ip_do_fragment(). With certain non-default, but non-rare, configuration of a victim host, an attacker can trigger this crash remotely, thus leading to a remote denial-of-service.

CVE-2018-10853 – kernel: kvm: guest userspace to guest kernel write
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2018-10853
11 Sep 2018 — A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel KVM hypervisor before 4.18 emulated instructions such as sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current privilege(CPL) level while emulating unprivileged instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges inside guest.

CVE-2018-16658 – kernel: Information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2018-16658
07 Sep 2018 — An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.6. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940. Se ha descubierto un problema en el kernel de Linux hasta antes de la versión 4.18.6.

17 Aug 2018 — An issue was discovered in xenvif_set_hash_mapping in drivers/net/xen-netback/hash.c in the Linux kernel through 4.18.1, as used in Xen through 4.11.x and other products. The Linux netback driver allows frontends to control mapping of requests to request queues. When processing a request to set or change this mapping, some input validation (e.g., for an integer overflow) was missing or flawed, leading to OOB access in hash handling. A malicious or buggy frontend may cause the (usually privileged) backend to... • http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-270.html • CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read •
CVE-2018-5391 – The Linux kernel, versions 3.9+, IP implementation is vulnerable to denial of service conditions with low rates of specially modified packets
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2018-5391
14 Aug 2018 — The Linux kernel, versions 3.9+, is vulnerable to a denial of service attack with low rates of specially modified packets targeting IP fragment re-assembly. An attacker may cause a denial of service condition by sending specially crafted IP fragments. Various vulnerabilities in IP fragmentation have been discovered and fixed over the years. The current vulnerability (CVE-2018-5391) became exploitable in the Linux kernel with the increase of the IP fragment reassembly queue size.

10 May 2018 — Linux kernel vhost since version 4.8 does not properly initialize memory in messages passed between virtual guests and the host operating system in the vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This can allow local privileged users to read some kernel memory contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device file.
