Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability in Linux kernel Uselib() Race condition in the (1) load_elf_library and (2) binfmt_aout function calls for uselib in Linux kernel 2.4 through 2.429-rc2 and 2.6 through 2.6.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the VMA descriptor.
Unspecified vulnerability in Mandrakesoft products Memory leak in passwd 0.68 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of failed read attempts from the password buffer.
Unspecified vulnerability in Mandrakesoft products Off-by-one error in passwd 0.68 and earlier, when using the --stdin option, causes passwd to use the first 78 characters of a password instead of the first 79, which results in a small reduction of the search space required for brute force attacks.
