CVE-2016-4470 – kernel: Uninitialized variable in request_key handling causes kernel crash in error handling path
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-4470
The key_reject_and_link function in security/keys/key.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 does not ensure that a certain data structure is initialized, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via vectors involving a crafted keyctl request2 command. La función key_reject_and_link en security/keys/key.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.6.3 no asegura que cierta estructura de datos esté inicializada, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (caída del sistema) a través de vectores involucrando un comando keyctl request2 manipulado. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's keyring handling code: the key_reject_and_link() function could be forced to free an arbitrary memory block. An attacker could use this flaw to trigger a use-after-free condition on the system, potentially allowing for privilege escalation. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=38327424b40bcebe2de92d07312c89360ac9229a http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-08/msg00000.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-08/msg00003.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-08/msg00007.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-08/msg00008.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-08/msg00009.html http://lists.opensuse.org • CWE-253: Incorrect Check of Function Return Value •
CVE-2016-4805
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-4805
Use-after-free vulnerability in drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash, or spinlock) or possibly have unspecified other impact by removing a network namespace, related to the ppp_register_net_channel and ppp_unregister_channel functions. Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación de memoria en drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.5.2 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de sistema o spinlock) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado eliminando una red namespace, relacionado con las funciones ppp_register_net_channel y ppp_unregister_channel. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1f461dcdd296eecedaffffc6bae2bfa90bd7eb89 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/2016-08/msg00000.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-08/msg00007.html http://lists.opensuse.org • CWE-416: Use After Free •
