CVE-2017-1000407
KVM: DoS via write flood to I/O port 0x80.
A vulnerability was found in the kernel virtualization module (KVM) for the Intel processors. A guest system could flood the I/O port 0x80 with write requests, which could crash the host kernel, resulting in DoS.

CVE-2017-8824
Use-after-free in DCCP socket handling.
A vulnerability was found in DCCP socket handling code. dccp_disconnect() set the socket state to DCCP_CLOSED but did not properly free some of the resources associated with that socket. This could result in a use-after-free and could potentially allow an attacker to escalate their privileges.

CVE-2017-12190
Memory leak when merging buffers in SCSI IO vectors.
It was found that in the Linux kernel through v4.14-rc5, bio_map_user_iov() and bio_unmap_user() in 'block/bio.c' do unbalanced pages refcounting if IO vector has small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page. bio_add_pc_page() merges them into one, but the page reference is never dropped, causing a memory leak and possible system lockup due to out-of-memory condition.

PSBM-75247
NULL pointer dereference in __task_pid_nr_ns().
It was discovered that the value of task->pids[type].pid was actually read twice in __task_pid_nr_ns() rather than only once, due to compiler optimizations. As a result, a race condition could happen and that value could become NULL between these reads, leading to a kernel crash (NULL pointer dereference).

CVE-2017-12188
KVM, MMU: potential stack buffer overrun during page walks.
Linux kernel built with the KVM virtualisation support (CONFIG_KVM), with nested virtualisation (nVMX) feature enabled (nested=1), is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow issue. It could occur while traversing guest pagetable entries to resolve guest virtual address.

CVE-2017-1000253
load_elf_binary() does not allocate sufficient space for the entire binary in some cases.
A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel loaded ELF executables. Provided that an application was built as Position Independent Executable (PIE), the loader could allow part of that application's data segment to map over the memory area reserved for its stack, potentially resulting in memory corruption. An unprivileged local user with access to SUID (or otherwise privileged) PIE binary could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

Potential deadlock during destruction of cgroups.
It was found that an infinite loop could occur in mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() in certain conditions. The problem could happen when cgroups were being destroyed and that function was called under cgroup_mutex. The mutex could remain locked forever as a result, blocking many other processes waiting on it which would make the system nearly unusable.

A kernel data leak due to an out-of-bound read was found in inet_diag_msg_sctp{,l}addr_fill() and sctp_get_sctp_info() functions. It happens when these functions fill in sockaddr data structures used to export socket diagnostic information. As a result, up to 100 bytes of the slab data could be leaked to a userspace.
