| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | 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. | 7.8 |
| 2011-07-18 | CVE-2010-4655 | Improper Initialization vulnerability in multiple products net/core/ethtool.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not initialize certain data structures, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel heap memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an ethtool ioctl call. | 5.5 |
| 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. | 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. | 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. | 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. | 7.5 |
| 2011-02-18 | CVE-2011-0709 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel The br_mdb_ip_get function in net/bridge/br_multicast.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35-rc5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via an IGMP packet, related to lack of a multicast table. | 7.5 |
| 2010-12-29 | CVE-2010-4343 | Improper Initialization vulnerability in multiple products drivers/scsi/bfa/bfa_core.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not initialize a certain port data structure, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via read operations on an fc_host statistics file. | 5.5 |
| 2010-12-06 | CVE-2010-3904 | Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input vulnerability in multiple products The rds_page_copy_user function in net/rds/page.c in the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not properly validate addresses obtained from user space, which allows local users to gain privileges via crafted use of the sendmsg and recvmsg system calls. | 7.8 |
