Kernel panic (via skboverpanic) is encountered when sctp stack receive a malformed asconf chunks.

A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.

arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors does not ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by PRSETTSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU.

It was reported [1] that iptables can allow protocols that do not have a protocol handler kernel module loaded.

Given following iptables ruleset: -P FORWARD DROP -A FORWARD -m sctp --dport 9 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -p tcp -m conntrack -m state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

One would assume that this allows SCTP on port 9 and TCP on port 80. Unfortunately, if the SCTP conntrack module is not loaded, this allows all SCTP communication to pass through, i.e. -p sctp -j ACCEPT

A local kernel crash on invalid USB device requiring the visor driver was reported. The treoattach() function of the [visor] driver, which is called during the driver initialization process, was dereferencing the bulk-in and interrupt-in urbs without first making sure they had been allocated by core. Due to an incomplete sanity check, the visor driver tries to dereference null-pointers, which results in crash.

Vulnerable code:

CentOS-Kernel linux-3.10.0-229.14.1.el7 (drivers/usb/serial/visor.c) ... 554 #define COPYPORT(dest, src) \ 555 do { \ 556 int i; \ 557 \ 558 for (i = 0; i < ARRAYSIZE(src->readurbs); ++i) { \ 559 dest->readurbs[i] = src->readurbs[i]; \ / Possible Nullpointer-Dereference / 560 dest->readurbs[i]->context = dest; \ 561 dest->bulkinbuffers[i] = src->bulkinbuffers[i]; \ 562 } \ 563 dest->readurb = src->readurb; \ 564 dest->bulkinendpointAddress = src->bulkinendpointAddress;\ 565 dest->bulkinbuffer = src->bulkinbuffer; \ 566 dest->bulkinsize = src->bulkinsize; \ 567 dest->interruptinurb = src->interruptinurb; \ 568 dest->interruptinurb->context = dest; \ 569 dest->interruptinendpointAddress = \ 570 src->interruptinendpointAddress;\ 571 dest->interruptinbuffer = src->interruptinbuffer; \ 572 } while (0); 573 574 swapport = kmalloc(sizeof(swapport), GFPKERNEL); 575 if (!swapport) 576 return -ENOMEM; 577 COPYPORT(swapport, serial->port[0]); / no sanity-check! / 578 COPYPORT(serial->port[0], serial->port[1]); / no sanity-check! / 579 COPYPORT(serial->port[1], swapport); / no sanity-check! / ...

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in function rdsincinfocopy of file net/rds/recv.c. The last field "flags" of object "minfo" is not initialized. Copying this object out may leak kernel stack data. Assign 0 to it to avoid leak.

GNOME NetworkManager allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (IPv6 traffic disruption) via a crafted MTU value in an IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) message, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-8215.

All existing releases of GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick support a file open syntax where if the first character of the file specification is a '|', then the remainder of the filename is passed to the shell for execution using the POSIX popen(3C) function. File opening is handled by an OpenBlob() function in the source file blob.c. Unlike the vulnerability described by CVE-2016-3714, this functionality is supported by the core file opening function rather than a delegates subsystem usually used to execute external programs.
