DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2009-06-08 CVE-2009-1961 Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products
The inode double locking code in fs/ocfs2/file.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.30 before 2.6.30-rc3, 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.24, 2.6.29 before 2.6.29.4, and possibly other versions down to 2.6.19 allows local users to cause a denial of service (prevention of file creation and removal) via a series of splice system calls that trigger a deadlock between the generic_file_splice_write, splice_from_pipe, and ocfs2_file_splice_write functions.

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
2009-03-18 CVE-2009-0935 Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The inotify_read function in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 to 2.6.27.13, 2.6.28 to 2.6.28.2, and 2.6.29-rc3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a read with an invalid address to an inotify instance, which causes the device's event list mutex to be unlocked twice and prevents proper synchronization of a data structure for the inotify instance.

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
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.

low complexity
linux CWE-399
4.9
2006-07-05 CVE-2006-2935 Classic Buffer Overflow vulnerability in multiple products
The dvd_read_bca function in the DVD handling code in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in Linux kernel 2.2.16, and later versions, assigns the wrong value to a length variable, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted USB Storage device that triggers a buffer overflow.
