CVE-2016-4794

Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación de memoria en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.6 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (BUG) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través del uso manipulado de llamadas de sistema mmap y bpf.

Use after free vulnerability was found in percpu using previously allocated memory in bpf. First __alloc_percpu_gfp() is called, then the memory is freed with free_percpu() which triggers async pcpu_balance_work and then pcpu_extend_area_map could use a chunk after it has been freed.

Ben Hawkes discovered an integer overflow in the Linux netfilter implementation. On systems running 32 bit kernels, a local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. It was discovered that the keyring implementation in the Linux kernel did not ensure a data structure was initialized before referencing it after an error condition occurred. A local attacker could use this to cause a deni al of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
