DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2012-05-24 CVE-2011-2906 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Integer signedness error in the pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough function in drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 might allow local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or memory corruption) via a negative size value in an ioctl call.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-400
5.5
2012-05-24 CVE-2011-2898 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.3 does not properly restrict user-space access to certain packet data structures associated with VLAN Tag Control Information, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information via a crafted application.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-200
5.5
2012-05-24 CVE-2011-2707 Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The ptrace_setxregs function in arch/xtensa/kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 does not validate user-space pointers, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory locations via a crafted PTRACE_SETXTREGS request.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-200
6.0
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.

low complexity
linux fedoraproject suse CWE-476
5.5
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.
local
low complexity
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.
local
low complexity
linux canonical debian suse CWE-400
5.5
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.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-400
5.5
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.
local
low complexity
linux CWE-190
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.
local
low complexity
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.
