Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Mikulas Patocka discovered that the asynchronous multibuffer cryptographic
daemon (mcryptd) in the Linux kernel did not properly handle being invoked
with incompatible algorithms. A local attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-10147)

CVE-2016-10150 [CRITICAL] CVE-2016-10150 Kernel: Kvm: a use-after-free while creating devices
CVE-2016-10150 Kernel: Kvm: a use-after-free while creating devices
Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual Machine(CONFIG_KVM) support
is vulnerable to a use-after-free flaw. It could occur while creating devices,
via ioctl('/dev/kvm', ...) calls.
A user/process could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in DoS
or potentially escalate their privileges on a system.

### Abstract
Recently, a novel method known as Page Spray emerges, focusing on page-level exploitation for kernel vulnerabilities. Despite the advantages it offers in terms of exploitability, stability, and compatibility, comprehensive research on Page Spray remains scarce. Questions regarding its root causes, exploitation model, comparative benefits over other exploitation techniques, and possible mitigation strategies have largely remained unanswered. In this paper, we conduct a systematic investigation into Page Spray, providing an in-depth understanding of this exploitation technique. We introduce a comprehensive exploit model termed the model, elucidating its fundamental principles. Additionally, we conduct a thorough analysis of the root causes underlying Page Spray occurrenc
