- CVEs with nessus.description==A flaw was discovered in processing setsockopt for 32 bit processes on
64 bit systems. This flaw will allow attackers to alter arbitary
kernel memory when unloading a kernel module. This action is usually
restricted to root-priveledged users but can also be leveraged if the
kernel is compiled with CONFIG_USER_NS and CONFIG_NET_NS.
(CVE-2016-4997)
An out-of-bounds heap memory access leading to a Denial of Service,
heap disclosure, or further impact was found in setsockopt(). The
function call is normally restricted to root, however some processes
with cap_sys_admin may also be able to trigger this flaw in privileged
container environments. (CVE-2016-4998)
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. The pointer to the
netlink socket attribute is not checked, which could cause a NULL
pointer dereference when parsing the nested attributes in function
tipc_nl_publ_dump().
This allows local users to cause a DoS. (CVE-2016-4951)
A double free vulnerability was found in netlink_dump, which could
cause a denial of service or possibly other unspecified impact.
(CVE-2016-9806)
(Updated on 2016-07-14: CVE-2016-4998 and CVE-2016-4951 were fixed in
this version, but was not previously listed in this errata.)
(Updated on 2017-01-19: CVE-2016-9806 was fixed in this release but
was previously not part of this errata.)
