DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-1146 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products
The mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event function in mm/memcontrol.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 does not properly handle multiple events that are attached to the same eventfd, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by registering memory threshold events.

5.5
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-1097 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products
The regset (aka register set) feature in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 does not properly handle the absence of .get and .set methods, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a (1) PTRACE_GETREGSET or (2) PTRACE_SETREGSET ptrace call.

7.8
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-1090 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
The cifs_lookup function in fs/cifs/dir.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via attempted access to a special file, as demonstrated by a FIFO.

linux redhat suse CWE-20
5.5
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-0879 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
The I/O implementation for block devices in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33 does not properly handle the CLONE_IO feature, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (I/O instability) by starting multiple processes that share an I/O context.

5.5
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.

linux redhat CWE-369
7.5
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-0058 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The kiocb_batch_free function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via vectors that trigger incorrect iocb management.

linux CWE-400
5.5
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
2012-05-17 CVE-2012-0038 Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Integer overflow in the xfs_acl_from_disk function in fs/xfs/xfs_acl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a filesystem with a malformed ACL, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.

5.5
2012-05-17 CVE-2011-4621 Infinite Loop vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not properly implement a certain clock-update optimization, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via an application that executes code in a loop.

linux CWE-835
5.5
2012-05-17 CVE-2011-4594 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The __sys_sendmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via crafted use of the sendmmsg system call, leading to an incorrect pointer dereference.
