  - CVE-2016-6828: A use after free in     tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue() was fixed that could be used     by local attackers to crash the kernel (bsc#994296).

  - CVE-2016-6480: Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib     function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by changing a     certain size value, aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability     (bnc#991608).

  - CVE-2016-4998: The IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt     implementation in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read) or possibly obtain sensitive     information from kernel heap memory by leveraging     in-container root access to provide a crafted offset     value that leads to crossing a ruleset blob boundary     (bnc#986362 986365 990058).

  - CVE-2016-5696: net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux kernel     did not properly determine the rate of challenge ACK     segments, which made it easier for man-in-the-middle     attackers to hijack TCP sessions via a blind in-window     attack (bnc#989152).

  - CVE-2016-1237: nfsd in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to bypass intended file-permission restrictions by     setting a POSIX ACL, related to nfs2acl.c, nfs3acl.c,     and nfs4acl.c (bnc#986570).

  - CVE-2015-1339: A memory leak in cuse could be used to     exhaust kernel memory. (bsc#969356).

  - CVE-2015-7799: The slhc_init function in     drivers/net/slip/slhc.c in the Linux kernel did not     ensure that certain slot numbers are valid, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted     PPPIOCSMAXCID ioctl call (bnc#949936 951638).

  - CVE-2015-7872: The key_gc_unused_keys function in     security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via crafted     keyctl commands (bnc#951440).

  - CVE-2015-7884: The vivid_fb_ioctl function in     drivers/media/platform/vivid/vivid-osd.c in the Linux     kernel did not initialize a certain structure member,     which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory via a crafted application     (bnc#951626).

  - CVE-2015-8104: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (host OS panic or hang) by triggering many #DB (aka     Debug) exceptions, related to svm.c (bnc#954404).

  - CVE-2015-8709: kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel     mishandled uid and gid mappings, which allowed local     users to gain privileges by establishing a user     namespace, waiting for a root process to enter that     namespace with an unsafe uid or gid, and then using the     ptrace system call. NOTE: the vendor states 'there is no     kernel bug here (bnc#959709).

  - CVE-2015-8767: net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c in the Linux     kernel did not properly manage the relationship between     a lock and a socket, which allowed local users to cause     a denial of service (deadlock) via a crafted sctp_accept     call. (bsc#961509)

  - CVE-2015-8785: The fuse_fill_write_pages function in     fs/fuse/file.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a     writev system call that triggers a zero length for the     first segment of an iov (bnc#963765).

  - CVE-2015-8812: A flaw was found in the CXGB3 kernel     driver when the network was considered congested. The     kernel would incorrectly misinterpret the congestion as     an error condition and incorrectly free/clean up the     skb. When the device would then send the skb's queued,     these structures would be referenced and may panic the     system or allow an attacker to escalate privileges in a     use-after-free scenario. (bsc#966437).

  - CVE-2016-0723: Race condition in the tty_ioctl function     in drivers/tty/tty_io.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and     system crash) by making a TIOCGETD ioctl call during     processing of a TIOCSETD ioctl call (bnc#961500).

  - CVE-2016-2069: When Linux invalidated a paging structure     that is not in use locally, it could, in principle, race     against another CPU that is switching to a process that     uses the paging structure in question. (bsc#963767)

  - CVE-2016-2184: A malicious USB device could cause a     kernel crash in the alsa usb-audio driver. (bsc#971125)

  - CVE-2016-2383: Incorrect branch fixups for eBPF allow     arbitrary read of kernel memory. (bsc#966684)
