DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-0207 Divide By Zero vulnerability in multiple products
The igmp_heard_query function in net/ipv4/igmp.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and panic) via IGMP packets.

low complexity
linux redhat CWE-369
7.5
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-0044 Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in multiple products
Integer overflow in the drm_mode_dirtyfb_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_crtc.c in the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.1.5 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted ioctl call.

low complexity
linux canonical CWE-190
7.8
2012-02-02 CVE-2011-2525 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products
The qdisc_notify function in net/sched/sch_api.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not prevent tc_fill_qdisc function calls referencing builtin (aka CQ_F_BUILTIN) Qdisc structures, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted call.

low complexity
linux redhat CWE-476
7.8
2011-10-10 CVE-2011-2189 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
net/core/net_namespace.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.32 and earlier does not properly handle a high rate of creation and cleanup of network namespaces, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via requests to a daemon that requires a separate namespace per connection, as demonstrated by vsftpd.

7.5
2011-09-06 CVE-2011-1771 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The cifs_close function in fs/cifs/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact by setting the O_DIRECT flag during an attempt to open a file on a CIFS filesystem.

low complexity
linux CWE-476
7.8
2011-07-18 CVE-2010-4656 Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in multiple products
The iowarrior_write function in drivers/usb/misc/iowarrior.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not properly allocate memory, which might allow local users to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, and consequently cause a denial of service or gain privileges, via a long report.

low complexity
linux canonical CWE-787
7.8
2011-06-24 CVE-2011-1770 Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound) vulnerability in multiple products
Integer underflow in the dccp_parse_options function (net/dccp/options.c) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) packet with an invalid feature options length, which triggers a buffer over-read.

linux fedoraproject CWE-191
7.5
2011-06-22 CVE-2011-2534 Classic Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Buffer overflow in the clusterip_proc_write function in net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 might allow local users to cause a denial of service or have unspecified other impact via a crafted write operation, related to string data that lacks a terminating '\0' character.

linux CWE-120
7.8
2011-05-26 CVE-2010-4805 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
The socket implementation in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not properly manage a backlog of received packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a large amount of network traffic, related to the sk_add_backlog function and the sk_rmem_alloc socket field.

linux redhat CWE-400
7.5
2011-05-26 CVE-2010-4251 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
The socket implementation in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 does not properly manage a backlog of received packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by sending a large amount of network traffic, as demonstrated by netperf UDP tests.
