| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009-11-16 | CVE-2009-3939 | Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability in multiple products The poll_mode_io file for the megaraid_sas driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.31.6 and earlier has world-writable permissions, which allows local users to change the I/O mode of the driver by modifying this file. | 7.1 |
| 2009-11-06 | CVE-2009-3725 | Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Linux Kernel The connector layer in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31.5 does not require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for certain interaction with the (1) uvesafb, (2) pohmelfs, (3) dst, or (4) dm subsystem, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and gain privileges via calls to functions in these subsystems. | 7.2 |
| 2009-11-04 | CVE-2009-3547 | Operation on a Resource after Expiration or Release vulnerability in multiple products Multiple race conditions in fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc6 allow local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or gain privileges by attempting to open an anonymous pipe via a /proc/*/fd/ pathname. | 7.0 |
| 2009-10-22 | CVE-2009-3621 | Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products net/unix/af_unix.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.31.4 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by creating an abstract-namespace AF_UNIX listening socket, performing a shutdown operation on this socket, and then performing a series of connect operations to this socket. | 5.5 |
| 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. | 7.8 |
| 2009-09-18 | CVE-2009-3238 | Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) vulnerability in multiple products The get_random_int function in drivers/char/random.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30 produces insufficiently random numbers, which allows attackers to predict the return value, and possibly defeat protection mechanisms based on randomization, via vectors that leverage the function's tendency to "return the same value over and over again for long stretches of time." | 5.5 |
| 2009-08-27 | CVE-2009-2698 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products The udp_sendmsg function in the UDP implementation in (1) net/ipv4/udp.c and (2) net/ipv6/udp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via vectors involving the MSG_MORE flag and a UDP socket. | 7.8 |
| 2009-08-18 | CVE-2009-2848 | Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in multiple products The execve function in the Linux kernel, possibly 2.6.30-rc6 and earlier, does not properly clear the current->clear_child_tid pointer, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly gain privileges via a clone system call with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID or CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID enabled, which is not properly handled during thread creation and exit. | 5.9 |
| 2009-07-23 | CVE-2009-2584 | Numeric Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel Off-by-one error in the options_write function in drivers/misc/sgi-gru/gruprocfs.c in the SGI GRU driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.30.2 and earlier on ia64 and x86 platforms might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary memory locations and gain privileges via a crafted count argument, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow. | 7.2 |
| 2009-06-08 | CVE-2009-1961 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products The inode double locking code in fs/ocfs2/file.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.30 before 2.6.30-rc3, 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.24, 2.6.29 before 2.6.29.4, and possibly other versions down to 2.6.19 allows local users to cause a denial of service (prevention of file creation and removal) via a series of splice system calls that trigger a deadlock between the generic_file_splice_write, splice_from_pipe, and ocfs2_file_splice_write functions. | 4.7 |
