- CVEs with nessus.description==Mohamed Ghannam discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed
in the Netlink subsystem (XFRM) in the Linux kernel. A local attacker
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)
Eric Biggers discovered that the key management subsystem in the Linux
kernel did not properly restrict adding a key that already exists but
is uninstantiated. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial
of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2017-15299)
It was discovered that a NULL pointer dereference error existed in the
PowerPC KVM implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-15306)
Eric Biggers discovered a race condition in the key management
subsystem of the Linux kernel around keys in a negative state. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-15951).

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.
