DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2008-07-09 CVE-2008-2931 Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in multiple products
The do_change_type function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not verify that the caller has the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service by modifying the properties of a mountpoint.

2008-07-09 CVE-2008-2812 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products
The Linux kernel before 2.6.25.10 does not properly perform tty operations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via vectors involving NULL pointer dereference of function pointers in (1) hamradio/6pack.c, (2) hamradio/mkiss.c, (3) irda/irtty-sir.c, (4) ppp_async.c, (5) ppp_synctty.c, (6) slip.c, (7) wan/x25_asy.c, and (8) wireless/strip.c in drivers/net/.

2008-02-08 CVE-2008-0007 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Linux kernel before 2.6.22.17, when using certain drivers that register a fault handler that does not perform range checks, allows local users to access kernel memory via an out-of-range offset.

2008-01-29 CVE-2007-6694 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The chrp_show_cpuinfo function (chrp/setup.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.21 through 2.6.18-53, when running on PowerPC, might allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors that cause the of_get_property function to fail, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

2007-09-14 CVE-2007-3740 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The CIFS filesystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22, when Unix extension support is enabled, does not honor the umask of a process, which allows local users to gain privileges.

linux CWE-264
4.4
2007-08-13 CVE-2007-3851 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The drm/i915 component in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.2, when used with i965G and later chipsets, allows local users with access to an X11 session and Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) to write to arbitrary memory locations and gain privileges via a crafted batchbuffer.

6.0
2007-07-10 CVE-2007-3107 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux PowerPC Kernel Restore_Sigcontext
The signal handling in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22, including 2.6.2, when running on PowerPC systems using HTX, allows local users to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors involving floating point corruption and concurrency, related to clearing of MSR bits.

2007-06-11 CVE-2007-2875 Numeric Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Integer underflow in the cpuset_tasks_read function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.20.13, and 2.6.21.x before 2.6.21.4, when the cpuset filesystem is mounted, allows local users to obtain kernel memory contents by using a large offset when reading the /dev/cpuset/tasks file.

2007-05-07 CVE-2007-1861 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The nl_fib_lookup function in net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c in Linux Kernel before 2.6.20.8 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP replies, which trigger infinite recursion and a stack overflow.

2007-04-11 CVE-2007-1357 Denial Of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel AppleTalk ATalk_Sum_SKB Function
The atalk_sum_skb function in AppleTalk for Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.21, and possibly 2.4.x, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an AppleTalk frame that is shorter than the specified length, which triggers a BUG_ON call when an attempt is made to perform a checksum.
