The sctp_process_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4, when ASCONF is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a malformed INIT chunk.

A certain Debian patch to the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel 3.2.x through 3.2.63 does not properly validate arguments in ipv6_select_ident function calls, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) by leveraging (1) tun or (2) macvtap device access.

The (1) Java GUI and (2) Web GUI components in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Backup-Archive client 5.4 and 5.5 before 5.5.4.4 on AIX, Linux, and Solaris; 5.4.x and 5.5.x on Windows and z/OS; 6.1 before 6.1.5.7 on z/OS; 6.1 and 6.2 before 6.2.5.2 on Windows, before 6.2.5.3 on AIX and Linux x86, and before 6.2.5.4 on Linux Z and Solaris; 6.3 before 6.3.2.1 on AIX, before 6.3.2.2 on Windows, and before 6.3.2.3 on Linux; 6.4 before 6.4.2.1; and 7.1 before 7.1.1 in IBM TSM for Mail, when the Data Protection for Lotus Domino component is used, allow local users to bypass authentication and restore a Domino database or transaction-log backup via unspecified vectors.

Directory traversal vulnerability in IBM Optim Performance Manager for DB2 4.1.0.1 through 4.1.1 on Linux, UNIX, and Windows and IBM InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager for DB2 5.1 through 5.3.1 on Linux, UNIX, and Windows allows remote attackers to access arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a URL.

Race condition in NVMap in NVIDIA Tegra Linux Kernel 3.10 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted NVMAP_IOC_CREATE IOCTL call, which triggers a use-after-free error, as demonstrated by using a race condition to escape the Chrome sandbox.

kernel: net: pppol2tp: level handling in pppol2tp_[s,g]etsockopt()

The PPPoL2TP feature in net/l2tp/l2tp_ppp.c in the Linux kernel through 3.15.6 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging data-structure differences between an l2tp socket and an inet socket.

kernel: x86_64: ptrace: sysret to non-canonical address

The Linux kernel before 3.15.4 on Intel processors does not properly restrict use of a non-canonical value for the saved RIP address in the case of a system call that does not use IRET, which allows local users to leverage a race condition and gain privileges, or cause a denial of service (double fault), via a crafted application that makes ptrace and fork system calls.

Kernel: ALSA: control: do not access controls outside of protected regions

sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2 does not ensure possession of a read/write lock, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access.

Kernel: ALSA: control: protect user controls against races & memory disclosure

Race condition in the tlv handler functionality in the snd_ctl_elem_user_tlv function in sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access.

flash-plugin: multiple code execution issues fixed in APSB16-37

Adobe Flash Player versions 23.0.0.205 and earlier, 11.2.202.643 and earlier have an exploitable type confusion vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Adobe Flash Player versions 23.0.0.205 and earlier, 11.2.202.643 and earlier have an exploitable type confusion vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Kernel: target/rd: imformation leakage

The rd_build_device_space function in drivers/target/target_core_rd.c in the Linux kernel before 3.14 does not properly initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from ramdisk_mcp memory by leveraging access to a SCSI initiator.

kernel: DoS with syscall auditing

kernel/auditsc.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5, when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is enabled with certain syscall rules, allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive single-bit values from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a large value of a syscall number.

kernel: kvm: noncanonical rip after emulation

arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly perform RIP changes, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application.

kernel: keys: incorrect termination condition in assoc array garbage collection

The assoc_array_gc function in the associative-array implementation in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3 does not properly implement garbage collection, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via multiple "keyctl newring" operations followed by a "keyctl timeout" operation.

Kernel: USB serial: memory corruption flaw

Multiple buffer overflows in the command_port_read_callback function in drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c in the Whiteheat USB Serial Driver in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 allow physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) via a crafted device that provides a large amount of (1) EHCI or (2) XHCI data associated with a bulk response.

Kernel: HID: off by one error in various _report_fixup routines

The report_fixup functions in the HID subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 might allow physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted device that provides a small report descriptor, related to (1) drivers/hid/hid-cherry.c, (2) drivers/hid/hid-kye.c, (3) drivers/hid/hid-lg.c, (4) drivers/hid/hid-monterey.c, (5) drivers/hid/hid-petalynx.c, and (6) drivers/hid/hid-sunplus.c.

Kernel: HID: heap overflow due to lack of bounds checking

Heap-based buffer overflow in the logi_dj_ll_raw_request function in drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted device that specifies a large report size for an LED report.

Kernel: HID: logitech-dj OOB array access

Array index error in the logi_dj_raw_event function in drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (invalid kfree) via a crafted device that provides a malformed REPORT_TYPE_NOTIF_DEVICE_UNPAIRED value.
