CVE-2016-6187 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Linux kernel <4.6.5 - Privilege Escalation
The apparmor_setprocattr function in security/apparmor/lsm.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.5 does not validate the buffer size, which allows local users to gain privileges by triggering an AppArmor setprocattr hook.
CVSS 7.8
CVE-2016-7910 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 4.7.1 - Use-After-Free in disk_seqf_stop
Use-after-free vulnerability in the disk_seqf_stop function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.1 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop operation even if the corresponding start operation had failed.
CVSS 7.8
CVE-2023-3106 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Linux Kernel >=3.15 <3.16.39 - NULL Pointer Dereference in Netlink Dump via XFRM Messages
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in netlink_dump. This issue can occur when the Netlink socket receives the message(sendmsg) for the XFRM_MSG_GETSA, XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY type message, and the DUMP flag is set and can cause a denial of service or possibly another unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although it is unlikely.
CVSS 6.6
CVE-2010-4250 EXPLOITDB c WORKING POC
Linux Kernel < 2.6.37 - Denial of Service via inotify_init1 Memory Leak
Memory leak in the inotify_init1 function in fs/notify/inotify/inotify_user.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving failed attempts to create files.
