It was discovered that the Xen netback driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle packets structured in certain ways. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (host NIC availability). It was discovered that the virtual terminal driver 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 expose sensitive information (kernel memory). Various other issues were discovered and addressed.
ee52836c711111ecd52b6c4162409caa5a393b4ec4571f1e5de8d4ace83228b9It was discovered that the IP-VLAN network driver for the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations, leading to an out-of- bounds write vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the virtual terminal driver 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 expose sensitive information (kernel memory). Various other issues were also addressed.
cee33fcedd3c531f91ff1d0a8fe1060cf9d74dad35ef33c6828c5de7d753e527Ubuntu Security Notice 6341-1 - Jordy Zomer and Alexandra Sandulescu discovered that syscalls invoking the do_prlimit function in the Linux kernel did not properly handle speculative execution barriers. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the IEEE 1394 implementation in the Linux kernel. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.
