Description
Mikulas Patocka discovered that the asynchronous multibuffer cryptographic
daemon (mcryptd) in Linux Kernel did not properly handle being invoked
with incompatible algorithms. A local attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-10147)
It was discovered that a use-after-free existed in the KVM susbsystem of
Linux Kernel when creating devices. A local attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-10150)
Qidan He discovered that the ICMP implementation in Linux Kernel did
not properly check the size of an ICMP header. A local attacker with
CAP_NET_ADMIN could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-8399)
Qian Zhang discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in the tipc_msg_build()
function in Linux Kernel. A local attacker could use to cause a denial
of service (system crash) or possible execute arbitrary code with
administrative privileges. (CVE-2016-8632)
Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the KVM implementation in Linux Kernel
did not properly restrict the VCPU index when I/O APIC is enabled, An
attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or possibly gain privileges in the host OS. (CVE-2016-9777)
