CVE-2016-4569 – kernel: Information leak in Linux sound module in timer.c
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-4569
The snd_timer_user_params function in sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via crafted use of the ALSA timer interface. La función snd_timer_user_params en sound/core/timer.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.6 no inicializa una estructura de datos determinada, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible del kernel de memoria de pila a través del uso manipulado de la interfaz ALSA timer. A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel. There is an information leak in file "sound/core/timer.c" of the latest mainline Linux kernel, the stack object “tread” has a total size of 32 bytes. It contains a 8-bytes padding, which is not initialized but sent to user via copy_to_user(), resulting a kernel leak. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=cec8f96e49d9be372fdb0c3836dcf31ec71e457e http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00044.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00052.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00054.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00056.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-08/msg00000.html http://lists.opensuse.org • CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor CWE-665: Improper Initialization •

The proc_connectinfo function in drivers/usb/core/devio.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted USBDEVFS_CONNECTINFO ioctl call.

CVE-2016-4913 – kernel: Information leak when handling NM entries containing NUL
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-4913
The get_rock_ridge_filename function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 mishandles NM (aka alternate name) entries containing \0 characters, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted isofs filesystem. La función get_rock_ridge_filename en fs/isofs/rock.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.5.5 no maneja correctamente entradas NM (también conocidas como alternate name) que contienen caracteres \0, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible del kernel de memoria o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de un sistema de archivo isofs manipulado. A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. Payloads of NM entries are not supposed to contain NUL. When such entry is processed, only the part prior to the first NUL goes into the concatenation (i.e. the directory entry name being encoded by a bunch of NM entries). • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=99d825822eade8d827a1817357cbf3f889a552d6 http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00052.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-08/msg00007.html http://www.debian.org/security/2016/dsa-3607 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.5.5 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/05/18/3 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/05/18/ • CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor •
CVE-2016-3156 – kernel: ipv4: denial of service when destroying a network interface
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-3156
The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.5.2 mishandles destruction of device objects, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS networking outage) by arranging for a large number of IP addresses. La implementación IPv4 en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.5.2 no maneja adecuadamente la destrucción de objetos de dispositivo, lo que permite a usuarios del SO invitado provocar una denegación de servicio (corte de la red del sistema operativo anfitrión) disponiendo un gran número de direcciones IP. A security flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem that destroying the network interface with huge number of ipv4 addresses assigned keeps "rtnl_lock" spinlock for a very long time (up to hour). This blocks many network-related operations, including creation of new incoming ssh connections. The problem is especially important for containers, as the container owner has enough permissions to trigger this and block a network access on a whole host, outside the container. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=fbd40ea0180a2d328c5adc61414dc8bab9335ce2 http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-04/msg00019.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-05/msg00060.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00052.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00054.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00059.html http://lists.opensuse.org • CWE-399: Resource Management Errors CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption •
CVE-2016-2847 – kernel: pipe: limit the per-user amount of pages allocated in pipes
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-2847
fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 does not limit the amount of unread data in pipes, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by creating many pipes with non-default sizes. fs/pipe.c en el kernel de Linux antes de 4.5 no limita la cantidad de datos no leídos en las tuberías, lo que permite a los usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria) creando muchas tuberías con tamaños no predeterminados. It is possible for a single process to cause an OOM condition by filling large pipes with data that are never read. A typical process filling 4096 pipes with 1 MB of data will use 4 GB of memory and there can be multiple such processes, up to a per-user-limit. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=759c01142a5d0f364a462346168a56de28a80f52 http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-05/msg00060.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00052.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00054.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00056.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-06/msg00059.html http://lists.opensuse.org • CWE-399: Resource Management Errors CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption •
