DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
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.

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.

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.

2002-12-31 CVE-2002-1869 Improper Locking vulnerability in Heysoft Eventsave and Eventsave+
Heysoft EventSave 5.1 and 5.2 and Heysoft EventSave+ 5.1 and 5.2 does not check whether the log file can be written to, which allows attackers to prevent events from being recorded by opening the log file using an application such as Microsoft's Event Viewer.

2002-12-31 CVE-2002-1850 Improper Locking vulnerability in Apache Http Server 2.0.39/2.0.40
mod_cgi in Apache 2.0.39 and 2.0.40 allows local users and possibly remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang and memory consumption) by causing a CGI script to send a large amount of data to stderr, which results in a read/write deadlock between httpd and the CGI script.
