2014-12-05 CVE-2014-7255 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in IIJ products
Internet Initiative Japan Inc.

low complexity
iij CWE-400
7.5
2014-11-10 CVE-2014-8559 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
The d_walk function in fs/dcache.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly maintain the semantics of rename_lock, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock and system hang) via a crafted application.
5.5
2014-11-10 CVE-2014-3690 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors does not ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU.
5.5
2014-11-10 CVE-2014-3687 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
The sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack function in net/sctp/associola.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via duplicate ASCONF chunks that trigger an incorrect uncork within the side-effect interpreter.
7.5
2014-10-13 CVE-2014-7970 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
The pivot_root implementation in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 does not properly interact with certain locations of a chroot directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (mount-tree loop) via .

5.5
2013-06-07 CVE-2013-2128 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The tcp_read_sock function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 does not properly manage skb consumption, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted splice system call for a TCP socket.

5.5
2012-06-05 CVE-2012-0260 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
The JPEGWarningHandler function in coders/jpeg.c in ImageMagick before 6.7.6-3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a JPEG image with a crafted sequence of restart markers.
6.5
2012-05-24 CVE-2011-2918 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The Performance Events subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.1 does not properly handle event overflows associated with PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK events, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a crafted application.

5.5
2012-05-24 CVE-2011-2906 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Integer signedness error in the pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough function in drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 might allow local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or memory corruption) via a negative size value in an ioctl call.

low complexity
linux CWE-400
5.5
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-0879 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
The I/O implementation for block devices in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33 does not properly handle the CLONE_IO feature, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (I/O instability) by starting multiple processes that share an I/O context.
