Descriptions

The gtco_probe function in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted endpoints value in a USB device descriptor.

La función gtco_probe en drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.5.2 permite a atacantes físicamente próximos provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y caída de sistema) a través de un valor de dispositivos finales manipulado en un descriptor de dispositivo USB.

Justin Yackoski discovered that the Atheros L2 Ethernet Driver in the Linux kernel incorrectly enables scatter/gather I/O. A remote attacker could use this to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory. Jann Horn discovered that eCryptfs improperly attempted to use the mmap() handler of a lower filesystem that did not implement one, causing a recursive page fault to occur. A local unprivileged attacker could use to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
