DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2012-05-24 CVE-2011-3191 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
Integer signedness error in the CIFSFindNext function in fs/cifs/cifssmb.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 allows remote CIFS servers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large length value in a response to a read request for a directory.
low complexity
linux redhat CWE-119
8.8
2012-05-24 CVE-2011-3188 The (1) IPv4 and (2) IPv6 implementations in the Linux kernel before 3.1 use a modified MD4 algorithm to generate sequence numbers and Fragment Identification values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disrupted networking) or hijack network sessions by predicting these values and sending crafted packets.

2012-05-24 CVE-2011-2918 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The Performance Events subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.1 does not properly handle event overflows associated with PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK events, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a crafted application.

5.5
2012-05-24 CVE-2011-2906 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Integer signedness error in the pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough function in drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 might allow local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or memory corruption) via a negative size value in an ioctl call.

5.5
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.

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.

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.

7.5
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.

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.

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.
