2006-09-11 CVE-2006-4623 Remote Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.6.17.8
The Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) decapsulation component in dvb-core/dvb_net.c in the dvb driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.17.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an SNDU length of 0 in a ULE packet.

2006-08-23 CVE-2006-3745 Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Linux Kernel SCTP_Make_Abort_User Function
Unspecified vulnerability in the sctp_make_abort_user function in the SCTP implementation in Linux 2.6.x before 2.6.17.10 and 2.4.23 up to 2.4.33 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) and possibly gain root privileges via unknown attack vectors.

2006-07-21 CVE-2006-3468 Remote Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel NFS and EXT3 Combination
Linux kernel 2.6.x, when using both NFS and EXT3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file system panic) via a crafted UDP packet with a V2 lookup procedure that specifies a bad file handle (inode number), which triggers an error and causes an exported directory to be remounted read-only.

2006-06-23 CVE-2006-3085 Remote Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel XT_SCTP-netfilter
xt_sctp in netfilter for Linux kernel before 2.6.17.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via an SCTP chunk with a 0 length.

2006-05-22 CVE-2006-1858 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel
SCTP in Linux kernel before 2.6.16.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a chunk length that is inconsistent with the actual length of provided parameters.

2006-05-19 CVE-2006-1856 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Certain modifications to the Linux kernel 2.6.16 and earlier do not add the appropriate Linux Security Modules (LSM) file_permission hooks to the (1) readv and (2) writev functions, which might allow attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.

2006-04-05 CVE-2006-1624 Denial-Of-Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.6.20.1
The default configuration of syslogd in the Linux sysklogd package does not enable the -x (disable name lookups) option, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via messages with spoofed source IP addresses.

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.

2005-11-27 CVE-2005-3858 Remote Denial Of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel IP6_Input_Finish
Memory leak in the ip6_input_finish function in ip6_input.c in Linux kernel 2.6.12 and earlier might allow attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed IPv6 packets with unspecified parameter problems, which prevents the SKB from being freed.

2005-11-25 CVE-2005-3810 Denial-Of-Service vulnerability in kernel
ip_conntrack_proto_icmp.c in ctnetlink in Linux kernel 2.6.14 up to 2.6.14.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via a message without ICMP ID (ICMP_ID) information, which leads to a null dereference.
