Summary

Ralf Spenneberg discovered that the ext4 implementation in the Linux kernel
did not properly validate meta block groups. An attacker with physical
access could use this to specially craft an ext4 image that causes a denial
of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-10208)

It was discovered that an information disclosure vulnerability existed in
the ACPI implementation of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use
this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory addresses).
(CVE-2017-11472)

It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the ACPI table parsing
implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to
construct a malicious ACPI table that, when loaded, caused a denial of
service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2017-11473)

It was discovered that the generic SCSI driver in the Linux kernel did not
properly initialize data returned to user space in some situations. A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
(CVE-2017-14991)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the packet fanout
implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2017-15649)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the Ultra Wide Band driver in the Linux
kernel did not properly check for an error condition. A physically
proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16526)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel
contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2017-16527)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly validate USB audio buffer descriptors. A physically proximate
attacker could use this cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16529)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly validate USB interface association descriptors. A physically
proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2017-16531)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the usbtest device driver in the Linux
kernel did not properly validate endpoint metadata. A physically proximate
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2017-16532)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly validate USB HID descriptors. A physically proximate attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2017-16533)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly validate USB BOS metadata. A physically proximate attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2017-16535)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the Conexant cx231xx USB video capture
driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate interface descriptors.
A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2017-16536)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the SoundGraph iMON USB driver in the
Linux kernel did not properly validate device metadata. A physically
proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2017-16537)

It was discovered that the DM04/QQBOX USB driver in the Linux kernel did
not properly handle device attachment and warm-start. A physically
proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16538)

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)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the video4linux driver for Hauppauge HD
PVR USB devices in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some error
conditions. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2017-16644)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the IMS Passenger Control Unit USB driver
in the Linux kernel did not properly validate device descriptors. A
physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2017-16645)

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the QMI WWAN USB driver did not properly
validate device descriptors. A physically proximate attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16650)

It was discovered that the USB Virtual Host Controller Interface (VHCI)
driver in the Linux kernel contained an information disclosure
vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to expose
sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2017-16911)

It was discovered that the USB over IP implementation in the Linux kernel
did not validate endpoint numbers. A remote attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16912)

It was discovered that the USB over IP implementation in the Linux kernel
did not properly validate CMD_SUBMIT packets. A remote attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (excessive memory consumption).
(CVE-2017-16913)

It was discovered that the USB over IP implementation in the Linux kernel
contained a NULL pointer dereference error. A remote attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16914)

It was discovered that the core USB subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
validate the number of configurations and interfaces in a device. A
physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2017-17558)

It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the perf subs
