DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2003-03-31 CVE-2003-0127 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The kernel module loader in Linux kernel 2.2.x before 2.2.25, and 2.4.x before 2.4.21, allows local users to gain root privileges by using ptrace to attach to a child process that is spawned by the kernel.

2002-12-31 CVE-2002-1976 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
ifconfig, when used on the Linux kernel 2.2 and later, does not report when the network interface is in promiscuous mode if it was put in promiscuous mode using PACKET_MR_PROMISC, which could allow attackers to sniff the network without detection, as demonstrated using libpcap.

2002-12-23 CVE-2002-1380 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.2 mmap()
Linux kernel 2.2.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using the mmap() function with a PROT_READ parameter to access non-readable memory pages through the /proc/pid/mem interface.

2002-12-11 CVE-2002-1319 Denial Of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.4 System Call TF Flag
The Linux kernel 2.4.20 and earlier, and 2.5.x, when running on x86 systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via the emulation mode, which does not properly clear TF and NT EFLAGs.

2002-08-12 CVE-2002-0499 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The d_path function in Linux kernel 2.2.20 and earlier, and 2.4.18 and earlier, truncates long pathnames without generating an error, which could allow local users to force programs to perform inappropriate operations on the wrong directories.

2002-07-03 CVE-2002-0570 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The encrypted loop device in Linux kernel 2.4.10 and earlier does not authenticate the entity that is encrypting data, which allows local users to modify encrypted data without knowing the key.

2001-10-18 CVE-2001-1384 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
ptrace in Linux 2.2.x through 2.2.19, and 2.4.x through 2.4.9, allows local users to gain root privileges by running ptrace on a setuid or setgid program that itself calls an unprivileged program, such as newgrp.

2001-10-18 CVE-2001-0907 Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Deep Symbolic Link
Linux kernel 2.2.1 through 2.2.19, and 2.4.1 through 2.4.10, allows local users to cause a denial of service via a series of deeply nested symlinks, which causes the kernel to spend extra time when trying to access the link.

2001-07-30 CVE-2001-1056 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
IRC DCC helper in the ip_masq_irc IP masquerading module 2.2 allows remote attackers to bypass intended firewall restrictions by causing the target system to send a "DCC SEND" request to a malicious server which listens on port 6667, which may cause the module to believe that the traffic is a valid request and allow the connection to the port specified in the DCC SEND request.

2001-04-17 CVE-2001-1400 Denial-Of-Service vulnerability in kernel
Unknown vulnerabilities in the UDP port allocation for Linux kernel before 2.2.19 could allow local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock).
