Vulnerabilities > Use of Uninitialized Resource

DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-03-12 CVE-2016-0821 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in multiple products
The LIST_POISON feature in include/linux/poison.h in the Linux kernel before 4.3, as used in Android 6.0.1 before 2016-03-01, does not properly consider the relationship to the mmap_min_addr value, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass a poison-pointer protection mechanism by triggering the use of an uninitialized list entry, aka Android internal bug 26186802, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-3636.

2015-12-02 CVE-2015-8390 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in multiple products
PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the [: and \\ substrings in character classes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.

2009-10-22 CVE-2009-3620 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in multiple products
The ATI Rage 128 (aka r128) driver in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-git11 does not properly verify Concurrent Command Engine (CCE) state initialization, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via unspecified ioctl calls.

2009-08-14 CVE-2009-2692 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in multiple products
The Linux kernel 2.6.0 through 2.6.30.4, and 2.4.4 through 2.4.37.4, does not initialize all function pointers for socket operations in proto_ops structures, which allows local users to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and gain privileges by using mmap to map page zero, placing arbitrary code on this page, and then invoking an unavailable operation, as demonstrated by the sendpage operation (sock_sendpage function) on a PF_PPPOX socket.

2009-06-09 CVE-2009-0949 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in multiple products
The ippReadIO function in cups/ipp.c in cupsd in CUPS before 1.3.10 does not properly initialize memory for IPP request packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a scheduler request with two consecutive IPP_TAG_UNSUPPORTED tags.

2008-10-15 CVE-2008-3475 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01/6/7.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 does not properly handle errors related to using the componentFromPoint method on xml objects that have been (1) incorrectly initialized or (2) deleted, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document, aka "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

2008-09-27 CVE-2008-4197 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in Opera Browser
Opera before 9.52 on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, when processing custom shortcut and menu commands, can produce argument strings that contain uninitialized memory, which might allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or conduct other attacks via vectors related to activation of a shortcut.

2008-08-14 CVE-2008-3688 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in Havp Http Antivirus Proxy 0.88
sockethandler.cpp in HTTP Antivirus Proxy (HAVP) 0.88 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) by connecting to a non-responsive server, which triggers an infinite loop due to an uninitialized variable.

2008-07-18 CVE-2008-2934 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in multiple products
Mozilla Firefox 3 before 3.0.1 on Mac OS X allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted GIF file that triggers a free of an uninitialized pointer.

2008-03-19 CVE-2008-0063 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in multiple products
The Kerberos 4 support in KDC in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5kdc) does not properly clear the unused portion of a buffer when generating an error message, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, aka "Uninitialized stack values."
