2005-04-01 CVE-2005-0749 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel Elf Binary Loading
The load_elf_library in the Linux kernel before 2.6.11.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a crafted ELF library or executable, which causes a free of an invalid pointer.

2005-03-27 CVE-2005-0750 Buffer Index vulnerability in Linux Kernel Bluetooth Signed
The bluez_sock_create function in the Bluetooth stack for Linux kernel 2.4.6 through 2.4.30-rc1 and 2.6 through 2.6.11.5 allows local users to gain privileges via (1) socket or (2) socketpair call with a negative protocol value.

2005-01-27 CVE-2004-0887 Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability in Linux IBM S/390 Kernel SACF Instruction
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 on the S/390 platform does not properly handle a certain privileged instruction, which allows local users to gain root privileges.

2005-01-21 CVE-2004-1057 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel Device Driver Virtual Memory Flags
Multiple drivers in Linux kernel 2.4.19 and earlier do not properly mark memory with the VM_IO flag, which causes incorrect reference counts and may lead to a denial of service (kernel panic) when accessing freed kernel pages.

2005-01-10 CVE-2004-1072 Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability in Linux Kernel BINFMT_ELF Loader
The binfmt_elf loader (binfmt_elf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, may create an interpreter name string that is not NULL terminated, which could cause strings longer than PATH_MAX to be used, leading to buffer overflows that allow local users to cause a denial of service (hang) and possibly execute arbitrary code.

2005-01-10 CVE-2004-1071 Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability in Linux Kernel BINFMT_ELF Loader
The binfmt_elf loader (binfmt_elf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, does not properly handle a failed call to the mmap function, which causes an incorrect mapped image and may allow local users to execute arbitrary code.

2005-01-10 CVE-2004-1070 Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability in Linux Kernel BINFMT_ELF Loader
The load_elf_binary function in the binfmt_elf loader (binfmt_elf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, does not properly check return values from calls to the kernel_read function, which may allow local users to modify sensitive memory in a setuid program and execute arbitrary code.

2004-12-31 CVE-2004-2536 Local IO Access Inheritance vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The exit_thread function (process.c) in Linux kernel 2.6 through 2.6.5 does not invalidate the per-TSS io_bitmap pointers if a process obtains IO access permissions from the ioperm function but does not drop those permissions when it exits, which allows other processes to access the per-TSS pointers, access restricted memory locations, and possibly gain privileges.
