DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
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."

2006-01-31 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.

2006-01-06 CVE-2006-0095 Local Information Disclosure vulnerability in Linux Kernel DM-Crypt
dm-crypt in Linux kernel 2.6.15 and earlier does not clear a structure before it is freed, which leads to a memory disclosure that could allow local users to obtain sensitive information about a cryptographic key.

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-2005-4352 The securelevels implementation in NetBSD 2.1 and earlier, and Linux 2.6.15 and earlier, allows local users to bypass time setting restrictions and set the clock backwards by setting the clock ahead to the maximum unixtime value (19 Jan 2038), which then wraps around to the minimum value (13 Dec 1901), which can then be set ahead to the desired time, aka "settimeofday() time wrap."

2005-12-31 CVE-2005-4351 Local Security vulnerability in kernel
The securelevels implementation in FreeBSD 7.0 and earlier, OpenBSD up to 3.8, DragonFly up to 1.2, and Linux up to 2.6.15 allows root users to bypass immutable settings for files by mounting another filesystem that masks the immutable files while the system is running.

2005-12-31 CVE-2005-0136 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The Linux kernel before 2.6.11 on the Itanium IA64 platform has certain "ptrace corner cases" that allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted syscalls, possibly related to MCA/INIT, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-1761.

2005-12-22 CVE-2005-3660 Local Socket Buffer Memory Exhaustion Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion and panic) by creating a large number of connected file descriptors or socketpairs and setting a large data transfer buffer, then preventing Linux from being able to finish the transfer by causing the process to become a zombie, or closing the file descriptor without closing an associated reference.
