| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008-09-04 | CVE-2007-6716 | fs/direct-io.c in the dio subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23 does not properly zero out the dio struct, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS), as demonstrated by a certain fio test. | 5.5 |
| 2008-08-12 | CVE-2008-3275 | Classic Buffer Overflow vulnerability in multiple products The (1) real_lookup and (2) __lookup_hash functions in fs/namei.c in the vfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.15 do not prevent creation of a child dentry for a deleted (aka S_DEAD) directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service ("overflow" of the UBIFS orphan area) via a series of attempted file creations within deleted directories. | 5.5 |
| 2008-07-09 | CVE-2008-2931 | Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in multiple products The do_change_type function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not verify that the caller has the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service by modifying the properties of a mountpoint. | 7.8 |
| 2008-07-09 | CVE-2008-2812 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products The Linux kernel before 2.6.25.10 does not properly perform tty operations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via vectors involving NULL pointer dereference of function pointers in (1) hamradio/6pack.c, (2) hamradio/mkiss.c, (3) irda/irtty-sir.c, (4) ppp_async.c, (5) ppp_synctty.c, (6) slip.c, (7) wan/x25_asy.c, and (8) wireless/strip.c in drivers/net/. | 7.8 |
| 2006-10-10 | CVE-2006-4997 | Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products The clip_mkip function in net/atm/clip.c of the ATM subsystem in Linux kernel allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors that cause the ATM subsystem to access the memory of socket buffers after they are freed (freed pointer dereference). | 7.5 |
| 2006-10-05 | CVE-2006-5158 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products The nlmclnt_mark_reclaim in clntlock.c in NFS lockd in Linux kernel before 2.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash) and deny access to NFS exports via unspecified vectors that trigger a kernel oops (null dereference) and a deadlock. | 7.5 |
| 2005-11-27 | CVE-2005-3847 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products The handle_stop_signal function in signal.c in Linux kernel 2.6.11 up to other versions before 2.6.13 and 2.6.12.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by sending a SIGKILL to a real-time threaded process while it is performing a core dump. | 5.5 |
| 2005-10-21 | CVE-2005-3274 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products Race condition in ip_vs_conn_flush in Linux 2.6 before 2.6.13 and 2.4 before 2.4.32-pre2, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service (null dereference) by causing a connection timer to expire while the connection table is being flushed before the appropriate lock is acquired. | 4.7 |
| 2005-09-30 | CVE-2005-3106 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products Race condition in Linux 2.6, when threads are sharing memory mapping via CLONE_VM (such as linuxthreads and vfork), might allow local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by triggering a core dump while waiting for a thread that has just performed an exec. | 4.7 |
| 2005-09-06 | CVE-2005-2801 | Incorrect Comparison vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.6.0 xattr.c in the ext2 and ext3 file system code for Linux kernel 2.6 does not properly compare the name_index fields when sharing xattr blocks, which could prevent default ACLs from being applied. | 7.5 |
