| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009-09-18 | CVE-2009-3238 | Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) vulnerability in multiple products The get_random_int function in drivers/char/random.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30 produces insufficiently random numbers, which allows attackers to predict the return value, and possibly defeat protection mechanisms based on randomization, via vectors that leverage the function's tendency to "return the same value over and over again for long stretches of time." | 5.5 |
| 2009-07-05 | CVE-2009-1388 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.6.18 The ptrace_start function in kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.18 does not properly handle simultaneous execution of the do_coredump function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via vectors involving the ptrace system call and a coredumping thread. | 5.5 |
| 2009-06-08 | CVE-2009-1961 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products The inode double locking code in fs/ocfs2/file.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.30 before 2.6.30-rc3, 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.24, 2.6.29 before 2.6.29.4, and possibly other versions down to 2.6.19 allows local users to cause a denial of service (prevention of file creation and removal) via a series of splice system calls that trigger a deadlock between the generic_file_splice_write, splice_from_pipe, and ocfs2_file_splice_write functions. | 4.7 |
| 2009-04-06 | CVE-2009-1243 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel net/ipv4/udp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29.1 performs an unlocking step in certain incorrect circumstances, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by reading zero bytes from the /proc/net/udp file and unspecified other files, related to the "udp seq_file infrastructure." | 5.5 |
| 2009-03-18 | CVE-2009-0935 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel The inotify_read function in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 to 2.6.27.13, 2.6.28 to 2.6.28.2, and 2.6.29-rc3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a read with an invalid address to an inotify instance, which causes the device's event list mutex to be unlocked twice and prevents proper synchronization of a data structure for the inotify instance. | 5.5 |
| 2008-09-29 | CVE-2008-4302 | Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products fs/splice.c in the splice subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.2 does not properly handle a failure of the add_to_page_cache_lru function, and subsequently attempts to unlock a page that was not locked, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel BUG and system crash), as demonstrated by the fio I/O tool. | 5.5 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
