DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2005-08-23 CVE-2005-2099 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 does not properly destroy a keyring that is not instantiated properly, which allows local users or remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via a keyring with a payload that is not empty, which causes the creation to fail, leading to a null dereference in the keyring destructor.

2005-08-23 CVE-2005-2098 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel Session Keyring Allocation
The KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING operation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 contains an error path that does not properly release the session management semaphore, which allows local users or remote attackers to cause a denial of service (semaphore hang) via a new session keyring (1) with an empty name string, (2) with a long name string, (3) with the key quota reached, or (4) ENOMEM.

2005-08-12 CVE-2005-2548 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.6.8
vlan_dev.c in the VLAN code for Linux kernel 2.6.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel oops from null dereference) via certain UDP packets that lead to a function call with the wrong argument, as demonstrated using snmpwalk on snmpd.

2005-08-04 CVE-2005-2456 Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products
Array index overflow in the xfrm_sk_policy_insert function in xfrm_user.c in Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops or deadlock) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a p->dir value that is larger than XFRM_POLICY_OUT, which is used as an index in the sock->sk_policy array.

2005-08-02 CVE-2005-1762 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.6.10/2.6.8.1
The ptrace call in the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.10 for the AMD64 platform allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a "non-canonical" address.

2005-07-11 CVE-2005-1768 Local Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Linux Kernel IA32 ExecVE
Race condition in the ia32 compatibility code for the execve system call in Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.31 and 2.6 before 2.6.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a concurrent thread that increments a pointer count after the nargs function has counted the pointers, but before the count is copied from user space to kernel space, which leads to a buffer overflow.

2005-06-16 CVE-2005-1265 Local Denial Of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.6.10
The mmap function in the Linux Kernel 2.6.10 can be used to create memory maps with a start address beyond the end address, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash).

2005-06-08 CVE-2005-0756 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.6.8.1
ptrace in Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 does not properly verify addresses on the amd64 platform, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash).

2005-05-31 CVE-2005-1765 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.6.10/2.6.8.1
syscall in the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.10 for the AMD64 platform, when running in 32-bit compatibility mode, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel hang) via crafted arguments.

2005-05-17 CVE-2005-1589 Local Memory Corruption vulnerability in Multiple Linux Kernel IOCTL Handlers
The pkt_ioctl function in the pktcdvd block device ioctl handler (pktcdvd.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.12-rc4 and earlier calls the wrong function before passing an ioctl to the block device, which crosses security boundaries by making kernel address space accessible from user space and allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2005-1264.
