| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2017-14746 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Nov 27, 2017 | Use-after-free vulnerability in Samba 4.x before 4.7.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SMB1 request. |
| CVE-2017-14491 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Oct 4, 2017 | Heap-based buffer overflow in dnsmasq before 2.78 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response. |
| CVE-2017-14493 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Oct 3, 2017 | Stack-based buffer overflow in dnsmasq before 2.78 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted DHCPv6 request. |
| CVE-2017-14492 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Oct 3, 2017 | Heap-based buffer overflow in dnsmasq before 2.78 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted IPv6 router advertisement request. |
| CVE-2021-3493 | HIGH | 8.8 | Apr 17, 2021 | The overlayfs implementation in the linux kernel did not properly validate with respect to user namespaces the setting of file capabilities on files in an underlying file system. Due to the combination of unprivileged user namespaces along with a patch carried in the Ubuntu kernel to allow unprivileged overlay mounts, an attacker could use this to gain elevated privileges. |
| CVE-2021-3492 | HIGH | 8.8 | Apr 17, 2021 | Shiftfs, an out-of-tree stacking file system included in Ubuntu Linux kernels, did not properly handle faults occurring during copy_from_user() correctly. These could lead to either a double-free situation or memory not being freed at all. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (kernel memory exhaustion) or gain privileges via executing arbitrary code. AKA ZDI-CAN-13562. |
| CVE-2017-14176 | HIGH | 8.8 | Nov 27, 2017 | Bazaar through 2.7.0, when Subprocess SSH is used, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a bzr+ssh URL with an initial dash character in the hostname, a related issue to CVE-2017-9800, CVE-2017-12836, CVE-2017-12976, CVE-2017-16228, CVE-2017-1000116, and CVE-2017-1000117. |
| CVE-2017-8386 | HIGH | 8.8 | Jun 1, 2017 | git-shell in git before 2.4.12, 2.5.x before 2.5.6, 2.6.x before 2.6.7, 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.8.x before 2.8.5, 2.9.x before 2.9.4, 2.10.x before 2.10.3, 2.11.x before 2.11.2, and 2.12.x before 2.12.3 might allow remote authenticated users to gain privileges via a repository name that starts with a - (dash) character. |
| CVE-2017-13082 | HIGH | 8.1 | Oct 17, 2017 | Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) that supports IEEE 802.11r allows reinstallation of the Pairwise Transient Key (PTK) Temporal Key (TK) during the fast BSS transmission (FT) handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay, decrypt, or spoof frames. |
| CVE-2026-31431 | HIGH | 7.8 | Apr 22, 2026 | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: algif_aead - Revert to operating out-of-place This mostly reverts commit 72548b093ee3 except for the copying of the associated data. There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the source and destination come from different mappings. Get rid of all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the AD directly. |
| CVE-2017-14180 | HIGH | 7.8 | Feb 2, 2018 | Apport 2.13 through 2.20.7 does not properly handle crashes originating from a PID namespace allowing local users to create certain files as root which an attacker could leverage to perform a denial of service via resource exhaustion or possibly gain root privileges, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-14179. |
| CVE-2017-14179 | HIGH | 7.8 | Feb 2, 2018 | Apport before 2.13 does not properly handle crashes originating from a PID namespace allowing local users to create certain files as root which an attacker could leverage to perform a denial of service via resource exhaustion, possibly gain root privileges, or escape from containers. |
| CVE-2017-14177 | HIGH | 7.8 | Feb 2, 2018 | Apport through 2.20.7 does not properly handle core dumps from setuid binaries allowing local users to create certain files as root which an attacker could leverage to perform a denial of service via resource exhaustion or possibly gain root privileges. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-1324. |
| CVE-2017-7980 | HIGH | 7.8 | Jul 25, 2017 | Heap-based buffer overflow in Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator in Quick Emulator (Qemu) 2.8 and earlier allows local guest OS users to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors related to a VNC client updating its display after a VGA operation. |
| CVE-2018-5205 | HIGH | 7.5 | Jan 6, 2018 | When using incomplete escape codes, Irssi before 1.0.6 may access data beyond the end of the string. |
| CVE-2017-16612 | HIGH | 7.5 | Dec 1, 2017 | libXcursor before 1.1.15 has various integer overflows that could lead to heap buffer overflows when processing malicious cursors, e.g., with programs like GIMP. It is also possible that an attack vector exists against the related code in cursor/xcursor.c in Wayland through 1.14.0. |
| CVE-2017-15275 | HIGH | 7.5 | Nov 27, 2017 | Samba before 4.7.3 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging failure of the server to clear allocated heap memory. |
| CVE-2017-14496 | HIGH | 7.5 | Oct 3, 2017 | Integer underflow in the add_pseudoheader function in dnsmasq before 2.78 , when the --add-mac, --add-cpe-id or --add-subnet option is specified, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted DNS request. |
| CVE-2017-14495 | HIGH | 7.5 | Oct 3, 2017 | Memory leak in dnsmasq before 2.78, when the --add-mac, --add-cpe-id or --add-subnet option is specified, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving DNS response creation. |
| CVE-2017-13704 | HIGH | 7.5 | Oct 3, 2017 | In dnsmasq before 2.78, if the DNS packet size does not match the expected size, the size parameter in a memset call gets a negative value. As it is an unsigned value, memset ends up writing up to 0xffffffff zero's (0xffffffffffffffff in 64 bit platforms), making dnsmasq crash. |
