DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2012-05-24 CVE-2011-2898 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.3 does not properly restrict user-space access to certain packet data structures associated with VLAN Tag Control Information, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information via a crafted application.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-200
5.5
2012-05-24 CVE-2011-2707 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The ptrace_setxregs function in arch/xtensa/kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 does not validate user-space pointers, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory locations via a crafted PTRACE_SETXTREGS request.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-200
6.0
2012-05-24 CVE-2011-2699 The IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.1 does not generate Fragment Identification values separately for each destination, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disrupted networking) by predicting these values and sending crafted packets.

linux redhat
7.5
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-2121 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.3.4 does not properly manage the relationships between memory slots and the iommu, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (memory leak and host OS crash) by leveraging administrative access to the guest OS to conduct hotunplug and hotplug operations on devices.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-264
4.9
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-1601 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.3.6 allows host OS users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash) by making a KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP ioctl call after a virtual CPU already exists.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-399
4.9
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-1146 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products
The mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event function in mm/memcontrol.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 does not properly handle multiple events that are attached to the same eventfd, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by registering memory threshold events.

low complexity
linux fedoraproject suse CWE-476
5.5
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-1097 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products
The regset (aka register set) feature in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 does not properly handle the absence of .get and .set methods, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a (1) PTRACE_GETREGSET or (2) PTRACE_SETREGSET ptrace call.
local
low complexity
linux redhat suse CWE-476
7.8
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-1090 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
The cifs_lookup function in fs/cifs/dir.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via attempted access to a special file, as demonstrated by a FIFO.
local
low complexity
linux redhat suse CWE-20
4.9
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.
local
low complexity
linux canonical debian suse CWE-400
5.5
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-0207 Divide By Zero vulnerability in multiple products
The igmp_heard_query function in net/ipv4/igmp.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and panic) via IGMP packets.

low complexity
linux redhat CWE-369
