DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2009-11-16 CVE-2009-3939 Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability in multiple products
The poll_mode_io file for the megaraid_sas driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.31.6 and earlier has world-writable permissions, which allows local users to change the I/O mode of the driver by modifying this file.
7.1
2009-11-06 CVE-2009-3725 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The connector layer in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31.5 does not require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for certain interaction with the (1) uvesafb, (2) pohmelfs, (3) dst, or (4) dm subsystem, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and gain privileges via calls to functions in these subsystems.

7.2
2009-11-04 CVE-2009-3547 Operation on a Resource after Expiration or Release vulnerability in multiple products
Multiple race conditions in fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc6 allow local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or gain privileges by attempting to open an anonymous pipe via a /proc/*/fd/ pathname.
7.0
2009-10-22 CVE-2009-3620 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in multiple products
The ATI Rage 128 (aka r128) driver in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-git11 does not properly verify Concurrent Command Engine (CCE) state initialization, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via unspecified ioctl calls.
7.8
2009-09-08 CVE-2009-3088 Buffer Errors vulnerability in IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0
Heap-based buffer overflow in ibmdiradm in IBM Tivoli Directory Server (TDS) 6.0 on Linux allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via unknown vectors that trigger heap corruption, as demonstrated by a certain module in VulnDisco Pack Professional 8.11.

7.5
2009-08-27 CVE-2009-2698 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products
The udp_sendmsg function in the UDP implementation in (1) net/ipv4/udp.c and (2) net/ipv6/udp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via vectors involving the MSG_MORE flag and a UDP socket.
7.8
2009-08-14 CVE-2009-2768 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The load_flat_shared_library function in fs/binfmt_flat.c in the flat subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by executing a shared flat binary, which triggers an access of an "uninitialized cred pointer."

2009-08-14 CVE-2009-2692 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in multiple products
The Linux kernel 2.6.0 through 2.6.30.4, and 2.4.4 through 2.4.37.4, does not initialize all function pointers for socket operations in proto_ops structures, which allows local users to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and gain privileges by using mmap to map page zero, placing arbitrary code on this page, and then invoking an unavailable operation, as demonstrated by the sendpage operation (sock_sendpage function) on a PF_PPPOX socket.

2009-07-23 CVE-2009-2584 Numeric Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Off-by-one error in the options_write function in drivers/misc/sgi-gru/gruprocfs.c in the SGI GRU driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.30.2 and earlier on ia64 and x86 platforms might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary memory locations and gain privileges via a crafted count argument, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.

2009-04-09 CVE-2009-1250 Numeric Errors vulnerability in multiple products
The cache manager in the client in OpenAFS 1.0 through 1.4.8 and 1.5.0 through 1.5.58, and IBM AFS 3.6 before Patch 19, on Linux allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an RX response with a large error-code value that is interpreted as a pointer and dereferenced, related to use of the ERR_PTR macro.
