The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2017-16939: The XFRM dump policy implementation in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted SO_RCVBUF setsockopt system call in conjunction with XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY Netlink messages.

(bnc#1067085) - CVE-2014-0038: The compat_sys_recvmmsg function in net/compat.c, when CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled, allowed local users to gain privileges via a recvmmsg system call with a crafted timeout pointer parameter (bnc#860993). - CVE-2017-16650: The qmi_wwan_bind function in drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (bnc#1067086) - CVE-2017-16535: The usb_get_bos_descriptor function in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (bnc#1066700) - CVE-2017-15102: The tower_probe function in drivers/usb/misc/legousbtower.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users (who are physically proximate for inserting a crafted USB device) to gain privileges by leveraging a write-what-where condition that occurs after a race condition and a NULL pointer dereference. (bnc#1066705) - CVE-2017-16531: drivers/usb/core/config.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device, related to the USB_DT_INTERFACE_ASSOCIATION descriptor. (bnc#1066671) - CVE-2017-12193: The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel mishandled node splitting, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) via a crafted application, as demonstrated by the keyring key type, and key addition and link creation operations. (bnc#1066192) - CVE-2017-16529: The snd_usb_create_streams function in sound/usb/card.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (bnc#1066650) - CVE-2017-16525: The usb_serial_console_disconnect function in drivers/usb/serial/console.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device, related to disconnection and failed setup. (bnc#1066618) - CVE-2017-16537: The imon_probe function in drivers/media/rc/imon.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (bnc#1066573) - CVE-2017-16536: The cx231xx_usb_probe function in drivers/media/usb/cx231xx/cx231xx-cards.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (bnc#1066606) - CVE-2017-16527: sound/usb/mixer.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (snd_usb_mixer_interrupt use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device.
