Vulnerabilities > NULL Pointer Dereference
| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2012-05-17 | CVE-2012-1097 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products The regset (aka register set) feature in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 does not properly handle the absence of .get and .set methods, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a (1) PTRACE_GETREGSET or (2) PTRACE_SETREGSET ptrace call. | 7.8 |
| 2012-05-17 | CVE-2011-4594 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The __sys_sendmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via crafted use of the sendmmsg system call, leading to an incorrect pointer dereference. | 5.5 |
| 2012-05-17 | CVE-2011-3637 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products The m_stop function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via vectors that trigger an m_start error. | 5.5 |
| 2012-02-02 | CVE-2011-2525 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products The qdisc_notify function in net/sched/sch_api.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not prevent tc_fill_qdisc function calls referencing builtin (aka CQ_F_BUILTIN) Qdisc structures, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted call. | 7.8 |
| 2011-09-06 | CVE-2011-1771 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The cifs_close function in fs/cifs/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact by setting the O_DIRECT flag during an attempt to open a file on a CIFS filesystem. | 7.8 |
| 2011-07-17 | CVE-2011-2691 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products The png_err function in pngerror.c in libpng 1.0.x before 1.0.55, 1.2.x before 1.2.45, 1.4.x before 1.4.8, and 1.5.x before 1.5.4 makes a function call using a NULL pointer argument instead of an empty-string argument, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PNG image. | 6.5 |
| 2011-02-18 | CVE-2011-0709 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The br_mdb_ip_get function in net/bridge/br_multicast.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35-rc5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via an IGMP packet, related to lack of a multicast table. | 7.5 |
| 2010-09-30 | CVE-2010-3079 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products kernel/trace/ftrace.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35.5, when debugfs is enabled, does not properly handle interaction between mutex possession and llseek operations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and outage of all function tracing files) via an lseek call on a file descriptor associated with the set_ftrace_filter file. | 5.5 |
| 2010-09-08 | CVE-2010-2960 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products The keyctl_session_to_parent function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.35.4 and earlier expects that a certain parent session keyring exists, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT argument to the keyctl function. | 7.8 |
| 2010-09-08 | CVE-2010-2798 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products The gfs2_dirent_find_space function in fs/gfs2/dir.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 uses an incorrect size value in calculations associated with sentinel directory entries, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) and possibly have unspecified other impact by renaming a file in a GFS2 filesystem, related to the gfs2_rename function in fs/gfs2/ops_inode.c. | 7.8 |
