CVE-2016-10044 [HIGH] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the Bluetooth stack of
the Linux kernel when handling L2CAP configuration responses. A physically
proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2017-1000251)
It was discovered that the asynchronous I/O (aio) subsystem of the Linux
kernel did not properly set permissions on aio memory mappings in some
situations. An attacker could use this to more easily exploit other
vulnerabilities. (CVE-2016-10044)
Baozeng Ding and Andrey Konovalov discovered a race condition in the L2TPv3

CVE-2017-5970 kernel: ipv4: Invalid IP options could cause skb->dst drop
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. A remote attacker that can send packets containing malicious IP options could cause the ipv4_pktinfo_prepare() function to drop/free the dst. This could result in a system crash or possible privilege escalation if the attacker is able to place crafted objects in this dropped location.
