DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2006-04-18 CVE-2006-0744 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Linux kernel before 2.6.16.5 does not properly handle uncanonical return addresses on Intel EM64T CPUs, which reports an exception in the SYSRET instead of the next instruction, which causes the kernel exception handler to run on the user stack with the wrong GS.

2006-03-27 CVE-2006-1066 Local Denial Of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel Get_Compat_Timespec and PTrace
Linux kernel 2.6.16-rc2 and earlier, when running on x86_64 systems with preemption enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops) via multiple ptrace tasks that perform single steps, which can cause corruption of the DEBUG_STACK stack during the do_debug function call.

2006-03-15 CVE-2006-1242 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The ip_push_pending_frames function in Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x before 2.6.16 increments the IP ID field when sending a RST after receiving unsolicited TCP SYN-ACK packets, which allows remote attackers to conduct an Idle Scan (nmap -sI) attack, which bypasses intended protections against such attacks.

2006-03-14 CVE-2006-0457 Local Copy_To_User Race vulnerability in Linux Kernel Security Key Functions
Race condition in the (1) add_key, (2) request_key, and (3) keyctl functions in Linux kernel 2.6.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or read sensitive kernel memory by modifying the length of a string argument between the time that the kernel calculates the length and when it copies the data into kernel memory.

2006-03-09 CVE-2006-0742 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel die_if_kernel
The die_if_kernel function in arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.15.6, possibly when compiled with certain versions of gcc, has the "noreturn" attribute set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by causing user faults on Itanium systems.

2006-03-07 CVE-2006-0741 Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel ELF File Entry Point
Linux kernel before 2.6.15.5, when running on Intel processors, allows local users to cause a denial of service ("endless recursive fault") via unknown attack vectors related to a "bad elf entry address."

2006-02-07 CVE-2006-0454 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Linux kernel before 2.6.15.3 down to 2.6.12, while constructing an ICMP response in icmp_send, does not properly handle when the ip_options_echo function in icmp.c fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors such as (1) record-route and (2) timestamp IP options with the needaddr bit set and a truncated value.

5.0
2006-01-31 CVE-2006-0482 Local Denial Of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel Get_Compat_Timespec and PTrace
Linux kernel 2.6.15.1 and earlier, when running on SPARC architectures, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via a "date -s" command, which causes invalid sign extended arguments to be provided to the get_compat_timespec function call.

2005-12-31 CVE-2005-4811 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel UnMap_HugePage_Area
The hugepage code (hugetlb.c) in Linux kernel 2.6, possibly 2.6.12 and 2.6.13, in certain configurations, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by triggering an mmap error before a prefault, which causes an error in the unmap_hugepage_area function.

2005-12-31 CVE-2005-4639 Local Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Linux Kernel DVB Driver
Buffer overflow in the CA-driver (dst_ca.c) for TwinHan DST Frontend/Card in Linux kernel 2.6.12 and other versions before 2.6.15 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by "reading more than 8 bytes into an 8 byte long array".
