DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2005-08-23 CVE-2005-2457 Denial Of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel ISO File System
The driver for compressed ISO file systems (zisofs) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 allows local users and remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a crafted compressed ISO file system.

2005-08-23 CVE-2005-2099 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 does not properly destroy a keyring that is not instantiated properly, which allows local users or remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via a keyring with a payload that is not empty, which causes the creation to fail, leading to a null dereference in the keyring destructor.

2005-08-23 CVE-2005-2098 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel Session Keyring Allocation
The KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING operation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 contains an error path that does not properly release the session management semaphore, which allows local users or remote attackers to cause a denial of service (semaphore hang) via a new session keyring (1) with an empty name string, (2) with a long name string, (3) with the key quota reached, or (4) ENOMEM.

2005-05-17 CVE-2005-1589 Local Memory Corruption vulnerability in Multiple Linux Kernel IOCTL Handlers
The pkt_ioctl function in the pktcdvd block device ioctl handler (pktcdvd.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.12-rc4 and earlier calls the wrong function before passing an ioctl to the block device, which crosses security boundaries by making kernel address space accessible from user space and allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2005-1264.

2005-05-17 CVE-2005-1264 Local Memory Corruption vulnerability in Multiple Linux Kernel IOCTL Handlers
Raw character devices (raw.c) in the Linux kernel 2.6.x call the wrong function before passing an ioctl to the block device, which crosses security boundaries by making kernel address space accessible from user space, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2005-1589.

2005-05-11 CVE-2005-1263 Local Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Linux Kernel ELF Core Dump
The elf_core_dump function in binfmt_elf.c for Linux kernel 2.x.x to 2.2.27-rc2, 2.4.x to 2.4.31-pre1, and 2.6.x to 2.6.12-rc4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an ELF binary that, in certain conditions involving the create_elf_tables function, causes a negative length argument to pass a signed integer comparison, leading to a buffer overflow.

2005-05-02 CVE-2005-1369 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The (1) it87 and (2) via686a drivers in I2C for Linux 2.6.x before 2.6.11.8, and 2.6.12 before 2.6.12-rc2, create the sysfs "alarms" file with write permissions, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by attempting to write to the file, which does not have an associated store function.

2005-05-02 CVE-2005-1368 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The key_user_lookup function in security/keys/key.c in Linux kernel 2.6.10 to 2.6.11.8 may allow attackers to cause a denial of service (oops) via SMP.

2005-05-02 CVE-2005-0400 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The ext2_make_empty function call in the Linux kernel before 2.6.11.6 does not properly initialize memory when creating a block for a new directory entry, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading the block.

Unknown vulnerability in Linux kernel 2.4.x, 2.5.x, and 2.6.x allows NFS clients to cause a denial of service via O_DIRECT.
