DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2006-04-18 CVE-2006-0744 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Linux kernel before 2.6.16.5 does not properly handle uncanonical return addresses on Intel EM64T CPUs, which reports an exception in the SYSRET instead of the next instruction, which causes the kernel exception handler to run on the user stack with the wrong GS.

2006-03-15 CVE-2006-1242 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The ip_push_pending_frames function in Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x before 2.6.16 increments the IP ID field when sending a RST after receiving unsolicited TCP SYN-ACK packets, which allows remote attackers to conduct an Idle Scan (nmap -sI) attack, which bypasses intended protections against such attacks.

2006-03-09 CVE-2006-0742 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel die_if_kernel
The die_if_kernel function in arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.15.6, possibly when compiled with certain versions of gcc, has the "noreturn" attribute set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by causing user faults on Itanium systems.

2006-02-07 CVE-2006-0454 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Linux kernel before 2.6.15.3 down to 2.6.12, while constructing an ICMP response in icmp_send, does not properly handle when the ip_options_echo function in icmp.c fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors such as (1) record-route and (2) timestamp IP options with the needaddr bit set and a truncated value.

2005-12-31 CVE-2005-4811 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel UnMap_HugePage_Area
The hugepage code (hugetlb.c) in Linux kernel 2.6, possibly 2.6.12 and 2.6.13, in certain configurations, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by triggering an mmap error before a prefault, which causes an error in the unmap_hugepage_area function.

2005-12-31 CVE-2005-4639 Local Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Linux Kernel DVB Driver
Buffer overflow in the CA-driver (dst_ca.c) for TwinHan DST Frontend/Card in Linux kernel 2.6.12 and other versions before 2.6.15 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by "reading more than 8 bytes into an 8 byte long array".

2005-12-31 CVE-2005-4351 Local Security vulnerability in kernel
The securelevels implementation in FreeBSD 7.0 and earlier, OpenBSD up to 3.8, DragonFly up to 1.2, and Linux up to 2.6.15 allows root users to bypass immutable settings for files by mounting another filesystem that masks the immutable files while the system is running.

2005-12-31 CVE-2005-0489 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel Invalid Proc Memory Access
The /proc handling (proc/base.c) Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.17 allows local users to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors that cause an invalid access of free memory.

2005-12-22 CVE-2005-3660 Local Socket Buffer Memory Exhaustion Denial of Service vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion and panic) by creating a large number of connected file descriptors or socketpairs and setting a large data transfer buffer, then preventing Linux from being able to finish the transfer by causing the process to become a zombie, or closing the file descriptor without closing an associated reference.

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.
