Vulnerabilities > Improper Locking
| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009-03-18 | CVE-2009-0935 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel The inotify_read function in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 to 2.6.27.13, 2.6.28 to 2.6.28.2, and 2.6.29-rc3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a read with an invalid address to an inotify instance, which causes the device's event list mutex to be unlocked twice and prevents proper synchronization of a data structure for the inotify instance. | 5.5 |
| 2008-09-29 | CVE-2008-4302 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products fs/splice.c in the splice subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.2 does not properly handle a failure of the add_to_page_cache_lru function, and subsequently attempts to unlock a page that was not locked, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel BUG and system crash), as demonstrated by the fio I/O tool. | 5.5 |
| 2006-10-17 | CVE-2006-4342 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0 The kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by running the shmat function on an shm at the same time that shmctl is removing that shm (IPC_RMID), which prevents a spinlock from being unlocked. | 5.5 |
| 2006-10-05 | CVE-2006-5158 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products The nlmclnt_mark_reclaim in clntlock.c in NFS lockd in Linux kernel before 2.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash) and deny access to NFS exports via unspecified vectors that trigger a kernel oops (null dereference) and a deadlock. | 7.5 |
| 2006-06-13 | CVE-2006-2374 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP The Server Message Block (SMB) driver (MRXSMB.SYS) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) by calling the MrxSmbCscIoctlCloseForCopyChunk with the file handle of the shadow device, which results in a deadlock, aka the "SMB Invalid Handle Vulnerability." | 5.5 |
| 2006-05-09 | CVE-2006-2275 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products Linux SCTP (lksctp) before 2.6.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via a large number of small messages to a receiver application that cannot process the messages quickly enough, which leads to "spillover of the receive buffer." | 7.5 |
| 2005-11-27 | CVE-2005-3847 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products The handle_stop_signal function in signal.c in Linux kernel 2.6.11 up to other versions before 2.6.13 and 2.6.12.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by sending a SIGKILL to a real-time threaded process while it is performing a core dump. | 5.5 |
| 2005-09-30 | CVE-2005-3106 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products Race condition in Linux 2.6, when threads are sharing memory mapping via CLONE_VM (such as linuxthreads and vfork), might allow local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by triggering a core dump while waiting for a thread that has just performed an exec. | 4.7 |
| 2005-08-04 | CVE-2005-2456 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products Array index overflow in the xfrm_sk_policy_insert function in xfrm_user.c in Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops or deadlock) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a p->dir value that is larger than XFRM_POLICY_OUT, which is used as an index in the sock->sk_policy array. | 5.5 |
| 2004-05-04 | CVE-2004-0174 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Apache Http Server Apache 1.4.x before 1.3.30, and 2.0.x before 2.0.49, when using multiple listening sockets on certain platforms, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (blocked new connections) via a "short-lived connection on a rarely-accessed listening socket." | 7.5 |
