Descriptions

Race condition in the vop_ioctl function in drivers/misc/mic/vop/vop_vringh.c in the MIC VOP driver in the Linux kernel before 4.6.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) by changing a certain header, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.

Condición de carrera en la función vop_ioctl en drivers/misc/mic/vop/vop_vringh.c en el controlador MIC VOP en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.6.1 permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible desde la memoria del kernel o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída del sistema) cambiando cierta cabecera, también conocida como vulnerabilidad "double fetch".

Kangjie Lu discovered an information leak in the Reliable Datagram Sockets implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory. Yue Cao et al discovered a flaw in the TCP implementation's handling of challenge acks in the Linux kernel. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or inject content into an TCP stream. Various other issues were also addressed.
