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.

flash-plugin: multiple code execution or security bypass flaws (APSB14-18)

Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.241 and 14.x before 14.0.0.176 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.400 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 14.0.0.178 on Windows and OS X and before 14.0.0.179 on Android, Adobe AIR SDK before 14.0.0.178, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 14.0.0.178 do not properly restrict the SWF file format, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks against JSONP endpoints, and obtain sensitive information, via a crafted OBJECT element with SWF content satisfying the character-set requirements of a callback API, in conjunction with a manipulation involving a '$' (dollar sign) or '(' (open parenthesis) character. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-4671.

kernel: isofs: unbound recursion when processing relocated directories

Stack consumption vulnerability in the parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (uncontrolled recursion, and system crash or reboot) via a crafted iso9660 image with a CL entry referring to a directory entry that has a CL entry.

kernel: isofs: unbound recursion when processing relocated directories

The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (unkillable mount process) via a crafted iso9660 image with a self-referential CL entry.

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.

Stack-based buffer overflow in dsmtca in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.4 through 5.4.3.6, 5.5 through 5.5.4.3, 6.1 through 6.1.5.6, 6.2 before 6.2.5.4, and 6.3 before 6.3.2.3 on UNIX, Linux, and OS X allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

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.

kernel: udf: Avoid infinite loop when processing indirect ICBs

The __udf_read_inode function in fs/udf/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.3 does not restrict the amount of ICB indirection, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop or stack consumption) via a UDF filesystem with a crafted inode.

kernel: libceph auth token buffer overflow

Buffer overflow in net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long unencrypted auth ticket.

kernel: libceph: incorrect handling of kmalloc failures.

net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, does not properly consider the possibility of kmalloc failure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long unencrypted auth ticket.

kernel: libceph: missing validation of auth reply

net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, does not properly validate auth replies, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted data from the IP address of a Ceph Monitor.

Kernel: cifs: NULL pointer dereference in SMB2_tcon

The SMB2_tcon function in fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3 allows remote CIFS servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and client system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by deleting the IPC$ share during resolution of DFS referrals.

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.

kernel: xfs: directory hash ordering denial of service

The xfs_da3_fixhashpath function in fs/xfs/xfs_da_btree.c in the xfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.14.2 does not properly compare btree hash values, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (filesystem corruption, and OOPS or panic) via operations on directories that have hash collisions, as demonstrated by rmdir operations.

kernel: randomness degradation due to bug in net_get_random_once()

The net_get_random_once implementation in net/core/utils.c in the Linux kernel 3.13.x and 3.14.x before 3.14.5 on certain Intel processors does not perform the intended slow-path operation to initialize random seeds, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof or disrupt IP communication by leveraging the predictability of TCP sequence numbers, TCP and UDP port numbers, and IP ID values.

kernel: splice: lack of generic write checks

The implementation of certain splice_write file operations in the Linux kernel before 3.16 does not enforce a restriction on the maximum size of a single file, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted splice system call, as demonstrated by use of a file descriptor associated with an ext4 filesystem.

kernel: insufficient syscall number validation in perf and ftrace subsystems

kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the perf subsystem, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and OOPS) or bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application.

kernel: insufficient syscall number validation in perf and ftrace subsystems

kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the ftrace subsystem, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a crafted application.

kernel: net: sctp: NULL pointer dereference in af->from_addr_param on malformed packet

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.

kernel: kvm: reporting emulation failures to userspace

Race condition in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application that performs an MMIO transaction or a PIO transaction to trigger a guest userspace emulation error report, a similar issue to CVE-2010-5313.
