DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2006-05-19 CVE-2006-1856 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Certain modifications to the Linux kernel 2.6.16 and earlier do not add the appropriate Linux Security Modules (LSM) file_permission hooks to the (1) readv and (2) writev functions, which might allow attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.

2006-04-05 CVE-2006-1624 Denial-Of-Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.6.20.1
The default configuration of syslogd in the Linux sysklogd package does not enable the -x (disable name lookups) option, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via messages with spoofed source IP addresses.

2006-03-14 CVE-2006-0457 Local Copy_To_User Race vulnerability in Linux Kernel Security Key Functions
Race condition in the (1) add_key, (2) request_key, and (3) keyctl functions in Linux kernel 2.6.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or read sensitive kernel memory by modifying the length of a string argument between the time that the kernel calculates the length and when it copies the data into kernel memory.

2005-11-27 CVE-2005-3858 Remote Denial Of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel IP6_Input_Finish
Memory leak in the ip6_input_finish function in ip6_input.c in Linux kernel 2.6.12 and earlier might allow attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed IPv6 packets with unspecified parameter problems, which prevents the SKB from being freed.

2005-11-25 CVE-2005-3810 Denial-Of-Service vulnerability in kernel
ip_conntrack_proto_icmp.c in ctnetlink in Linux kernel 2.6.14 up to 2.6.14.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via a message without ICMP ID (ICMP_ID) information, which leads to a null dereference.

2005-11-25 CVE-2005-3809 Denial-Of-Service vulnerability in kernel
The nfattr_to_tcp function in ip_conntrack_proto_tcp.c in ctnetlink in Linux kernel 2.6.14 up to 2.6.14.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via an update message without private protocol information, which triggers a null dereference.

2005-11-22 CVE-2005-3753 Denial-Of-Service vulnerability in kernel
Linux kernel before after 2.6.12 and before 2.6.13.1 might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (Oops) via certain IPSec packets that cause alignment problems in standard multi-block cipher processors.

2005-09-06 CVE-2005-2801 Incorrect Comparison vulnerability in Linux Kernel 2.6.0
xattr.c in the ext2 and ext3 file system code for Linux kernel 2.6 does not properly compare the name_index fields when sharing xattr blocks, which could prevent default ACLs from being applied.

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.

2005-05-17 CVE-2005-1264 Local Memory Corruption vulnerability in Multiple Linux Kernel IOCTL Handlers
Raw character devices (raw.c) in the Linux kernel 2.6.x call the wrong function before passing an ioctl to the block device, which crosses security boundaries by making kernel address space accessible from user space, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2005-1589.
