could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16939)
It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle
copy-on- write of transparent huge pages. A local attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (application crashes) or possibly
gain administrative privileges. (CVE-2017-1000405)
Fan Wu, Haoran Qiu, and Shixiong Zhao discovered that the associative
array implementation in the Linux kernel sometimes did not properly
handle adding a new entry. A local attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-12193)
Andrey Konovalov discovered an out-of-bounds read in the GTCO
digitizer USB driver for the Linux kernel. A physically proximate
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16643).
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues.
