CVE-2016-9794 – kernel: ALSA: Use-after-free in kill_fasync
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-9794
Race condition in the snd_pcm_period_elapsed function in sound/core/pcm_lib.c in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START command. Condición de carrera en la función snd_pcm_period_elapsed en sound/core/pcm_lib.c en el subsistema de ALSA en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.7 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (uso después de liberación de memoria) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de un comando SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START manipulado. A use-after-free vulnerability was found in ALSA pcm layer, which allows local users to cause a denial of service, memory corruption, or possibly other unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3aa02cb664c5fb1042958c8d1aa8c35055a2ebc4 http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-12/msg00057.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-12/msg00062.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-12/msg00072.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-12/msg00075.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-12/msg00081.html http://lists.opensuse.org • CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') CWE-416: Use After Free •
CVE-2016-9685 – kernel: Memory leaks in xfs_attr_list.c error paths
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-9685
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. Múltiples fugas de memoria en rutas de error en fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.5.1 permiten a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria) a través de operaciones de archivo de sistema XFS manipuladas. 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. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=2e83b79b2d6c78bf1b4aa227938a214dcbddc83f http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.5.1 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/11/30/1 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/94593 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:1842 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:2077 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:2669 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1396941 https: • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption CWE-772: Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime •
CVE-2016-9588 – Kernel: kvm: nVMX: uncaught software exceptions in L1 guest leads to DoS
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-9588
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. arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c en el kernek de Linux hasta la versión 4.9 no gestiona adecuadamente las excepciones #BP y #OF, lo que permite a usuarios del SO invitados provocar una denegación de servicio (caída del SO invitado) declinando el manejo de una excepción lanzada por un invitado L2. 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. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ef85b67385436ddc1998f45f1d6a210f935b3388 http://www.debian.org/security/2017/dsa-3804 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/12/15/3 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/94933 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:1842 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:2077 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1404924 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ef85b67385436ddc1998f45f1d6a210f935b3388 https:/ • CWE-248: Uncaught Exception CWE-388: 7PK - Errors •

CVE-2016-6213 – kernel: Overflowing kernel mount table using shared bind mount
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-6213
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. fs/namespace.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.9 no restringe la cantidad de montajes que pueden existir en un espacio de nombre del montaje, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria y punto muerto) a través de llamadas al sistema de montaje MS_BIND, según lo demostrado por un bucle que desencadena un crecimiento exponencial en el número de montajes. 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. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d29216842a85c7970c536108e093963f02714498 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/07/13/8 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/91754 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:1842 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:2077 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1356471 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d29216842a85c7970c536108e093963f02714498 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-6213 • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling •
