Descriptions
Race condition in the ec_device_ioctl_xcmd function in drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_dev.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) by changing a certain size value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.
Condición de carrera en la función ec_device_ioctl_xcmd en drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_dev.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.7 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (acceso al array fuera de rango) cambiando un cierto valor de tamaño, también conocido como una vulnerabilidad de "doble recuperación".
Pengfei Wang discovered a race condition in the audit subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to corrupt audit logs or disrupt system-call auditing. It was discovered that the powerpc and powerpc64 hypervisor-mode KVM implementation in the Linux kernel for did not properly maintain state about transactional memory. An unprivileged attacker in a guest could cause a denial of service in the host OS. Various other issues were also addressed.
