CVE-2016-10044

La función aio_mount en fs/aio.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.7.7 no restringe adecuadamente el acceso de ejecución, lo que facilita a usuarios locales eludir restricciones de política destinadas SELinux W^X, y consecuentemente obtener privilegios, a través de una llamada de sistema io_setup.

It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the Bluetooth stack of the Linux kernel when handling L2CAP configuration responses. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the asynchronous I/O subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly set permissions on aio memory mappings in some situations. An attacker could use this to more easily exploit other vulnerabilities. Various other issues were also addressed.
