| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2011-10-10 | CVE-2011-2189 | Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products net/core/net_namespace.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.32 and earlier does not properly handle a high rate of creation and cleanup of network namespaces, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via requests to a daemon that requires a separate namespace per connection, as demonstrated by vsftpd. | 7.5 |
| 2011-09-06 | CVE-2011-1776 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products The is_gpt_valid function in fs/partitions/efi.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not check the size of an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) GUID Partition Table (GPT) entry, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and OOPS) or obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by connecting a crafted GPT storage device, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1577. | 6.1 |
| 2011-09-06 | CVE-2011-1771 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The cifs_close function in fs/cifs/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact by setting the O_DIRECT flag during an attempt to open a file on a CIFS filesystem. | 7.8 |
| 2011-07-18 | CVE-2010-4656 | Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in multiple products The iowarrior_write function in drivers/usb/misc/iowarrior.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not properly allocate memory, which might allow local users to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, and consequently cause a denial of service or gain privileges, via a long report. | 7.8 |
| 2011-07-18 | CVE-2010-4655 | Improper Initialization vulnerability in multiple products net/core/ethtool.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not initialize certain data structures, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel heap memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an ethtool ioctl call. | 5.5 |
| 2011-06-24 | CVE-2011-2484 | Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel The add_del_listener function in kernel/taskstats.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.39.1 and earlier does not prevent multiple registrations of exit handlers, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption), and bypass the OOM Killer, via a crafted application. | 4.9 |
| 2011-06-24 | CVE-2011-1770 | Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound) vulnerability in multiple products Integer underflow in the dccp_parse_options function (net/dccp/options.c) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) packet with an invalid feature options length, which triggers a buffer over-read. | 7.5 |
| 2011-06-22 | CVE-2011-2534 | Classic Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Linux Kernel Buffer overflow in the clusterip_proc_write function in net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 might allow local users to cause a denial of service or have unspecified other impact via a crafted write operation, related to string data that lacks a terminating '\0' character. | 7.8 |
| 2011-05-26 | CVE-2010-4805 | Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products The socket implementation in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not properly manage a backlog of received packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a large amount of network traffic, related to the sk_add_backlog function and the sk_rmem_alloc socket field. | 7.5 |
| 2011-05-26 | CVE-2010-4251 | Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products The socket implementation in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 does not properly manage a backlog of received packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by sending a large amount of network traffic, as demonstrated by netperf UDP tests. | 7.5 |
