| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009-08-14 | CVE-2009-2692 | Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in multiple products The Linux kernel 2.6.0 through 2.6.30.4, and 2.4.4 through 2.4.37.4, does not initialize all function pointers for socket operations in proto_ops structures, which allows local users to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and gain privileges by using mmap to map page zero, placing arbitrary code on this page, and then invoking an unavailable operation, as demonstrated by the sendpage operation (sock_sendpage function) on a PF_PPPOX socket. | 7.8 |
| 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 |
| 2009-05-14 | CVE-2009-1630 | Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products The nfs_permission function in fs/nfs/dir.c in the NFS client implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.29.3 and earlier, when atomic_open is available, does not check execute (aka EXEC or MAY_EXEC) permission bits, which allows local users to bypass permissions and execute files, as demonstrated by files on an NFSv4 fileserver. | 4.4 |
| 2009-04-06 | CVE-2009-1243 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel net/ipv4/udp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29.1 performs an unlocking step in certain incorrect circumstances, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by reading zero bytes from the /proc/net/udp file and unspecified other files, related to the "udp seq_file infrastructure." | 5.5 |
| 2009-02-27 | CVE-2009-0028 | Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Linux Kernel The clone system call in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 and earlier allows local users to send arbitrary signals to a parent process from an unprivileged child process by launching an additional child process with the CLONE_PARENT flag, and then letting this new process exit. | 2.1 |
| 2009-02-10 | CVE-2008-6107 | Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel The (1) sys32_mremap function in arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc32.c, the (2) sparc_mmap_check function in arch/sparc/kernel/sys_sparc.c, and the (3) sparc64_mmap_check function in arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc.c, in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.4, omit some virtual-address range (aka span) checks when the mremap MREMAP_FIXED bit is not set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unspecified mremap calls, a related issue to CVE-2008-2137. | 4.9 |
| 2008-12-09 | CVE-2008-5079 | Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel net/atm/svc.c in the ATM subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.27.8 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) by making two calls to svc_listen for the same socket, and then reading a /proc/net/atm/*vc file, related to corruption of the vcc table. | 4.9 |
| 2008-11-21 | CVE-2008-5182 | Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel The inotify functionality in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.28-rc5 might allow local users to gain privileges via unknown vectors related to race conditions in inotify watch removal and umount. | 6.9 |
| 2008-11-10 | CVE-2008-5029 | Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel '__scm_destroy()' The __scm_destroy function in net/core/scm.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.27.4, 2.6.26, and earlier makes indirect recursive calls to itself through calls to the fput function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via vectors related to sending an SCM_RIGHTS message through a UNIX domain socket and closing file descriptors. | 4.9 |
| 2008-10-15 | CVE-2008-4576 | Improper Authentication vulnerability in Linux Kernel sctp in Linux kernel before 2.6.25.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via an INIT-ACK that states the peer does not support AUTH, which causes the sctp_process_init function to clean up active transports and triggers the OOPS when the T1-Init timer expires. | 7.8 |
