kernel: three vulnerabilities

Package(s):kernel CVE #(s):CVE-2016-3857 CVE-2016-6480 CVE-2016-7118
Created:September 6, 2016 Updated:September 20, 2016
Description: From the CVE entries:

The kernel in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 7 (2013) devices allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka internal bug 28522518. (CVE-2016-3857)

Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows 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. (CVE-2016-6480)

fs/fcntl.c in the "aufs 3.2.x+setfl-debian" patch in the linux-image package 3.2.0-4 (kernel 3.2.81-1) in Debian wheezy mishandles F_SETFL fcntl calls on directories, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via standard filesystem operations, as demonstrated by scp from an AUFS filesystem. (CVE-2016-7118)
