Nelson Elhage discovered that the kernel did not correctly handle
process cleanup after triggering a recoverable kernel bug. If a local
attacker were able to trigger certain kinds of kernel bugs, they could
create a specially crafted process to gain root privileges.
(CVE-2010-4258)

Kees Cook discovered that some ethtool functions did not correctly
clear heap memory. A local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges
could exploit this to read portions of kernel heap memory, leading to
a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-4655)

Frank Arnold discovered that the IGMP protocol did not correctly parse
certain packets. A remote attacker could send specially crafted
traffic to crash the system, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2011-0709).

description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
