Descriptions

net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, does not properly consider the possibility of kmalloc failure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long unencrypted auth ticket.

net/ceph/auth_x.c en Ceph, utilizado en el kernel de Linux anterior a 3.16.3, no considera debidamente la posibilidad de fallos de kmalloc, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída del sistema) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de un ticket de autor largo no cifrado.

Steven Vittitoe reported multiple stack buffer overflows in Linux kernel's magicmouse HID driver. A physically proximate attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via specially crafted devices. Ben Hawkes reported some off by one errors for report descriptors in the Linux kernel's HID stack. A physically proximate attacker could exploit these flaws to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a specially crafted device. Various other issues were also addressed.
