CVE-2016-10905 [HIGH] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the GFS2 file system in
the Linux kernel. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-10905)
It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel did not
properly validate socket options in some situations. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-18509)
It was discovered that the USB gadget Midi driver in the Linux kernel
contained a double-free vulnerability when handling certain error
conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2018-20961)

kernel: double free vulnerability in function f_midi_set_alt in drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_midi.c causing denial of service
In the Linux kernel before 4.16.4, a double free vulnerability in the f_midi_set_alt function of drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_midi.c in the f_midi driver may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of generic USB MIDI device handling. Some USB gadgets have multiple 'modes' devices that can switch between modes and possibly cause a double-free flaw. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service and possible memory corruption or privilege escalation.
