    found on the IA64 architecture.

  - CVE-2004-0685
    Unsafe use of copy_to_user in USB drivers may disclose
    sensitive information.

  - CVE-2005-0001
    A race condition in the i386 page fault handler may
    allow privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2004-0883
    Multiple vulnerabilities in the SMB filesystem code may
    allow denial of service or information disclosure.

  - CVE-2004-0949
    An information leak discovered in the SMB filesystem
    code.

  - CVE-2004-1016
    A local denial of service vulnerability has been found
    in the SCM layer.

  - CVE-2004-1333
    An integer overflow in the terminal code may allow a
    local denial of service vulnerability.

  - CVE-2004-0997
    A local privilege escalation in the MIPS assembly code
    has been found.

  - CVE-2004-1335
    A memory leak in the ip_options_get() function may lead
    to denial of service.

  - CVE-2004-1017
    Multiple overflows exist in the io_edgeport driver which
    might be usable as a denial of service attack vector.

  - CVE-2005-0124
    Bryan Fulton reported a bounds checking bug in the
    coda_pioctl function which may allow local users to
    execute arbitrary code or trigger a denial of service
    attack.

  - CVE-2003-0984
    Inproper initialization of the RTC may disclose
    information.

  - CVE-2004-1070
    Insufficient input sanitising in the load_elf_binary()
    function may lead to privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2004-1071
    Incorrect error handling in the binfmt_elf loader may
    lead to privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2004-1072
    A buffer overflow in the binfmt_elf loader may lead to
    privilege escalation or denial of service.

  - CVE-2004-1073
    The open_exec function may disclose information.

  - CVE-2004-1074
    The binfmt code is vulnerable to denial of service
    through malformed a.out binaries.

  - CVE-2004-1234
    The ELF loader is vulnerable to denial of service
    through malformed binaries.

  - CVE-2005-0003
    Crafted ELF binaries may lead to privilege escalation,
    due to insufficient checking of overlapping memory
    regions.

  - CVE-2004-1235
    A race condition in the load_elf_library() and
    binfmt_aout() functions may allow privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2005-0504
    An integer overflow in the Moxa driver may lead to
    privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2005-0384
    A remote denial of service vulnerability has been found
    in the PPP driver.

  - CVE-2005-0135
    An IA64 specific local denial of service vulnerability
    has been found in the unw_unwind_to_user() function.
