CVE-2017-18216

En fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c en el kernel de Linux, en versiones anteriores a la 4.15, los usuarios locales pueden provocar una denegación de servicio (desreferencia de puntero NULL y error) debido a que no se emplea un mutex requerido.

Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the key management subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict adding a key that already exists but is negatively instantiated. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the device driver for XCeive xc2028/xc3028 tuners in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
