"Hugo Dias discovered that the ATM subsystem did not correctly manage
socket counts. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a system
hang, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5079)

It was discovered that the inotify subsystem contained watch removal
race conditions. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the
system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5182)

Dann Frazier discovered that in certain situations sendmsg did not
correctly release allocated memory. A local attacker could exploit
this to force the system to run out of free memory, leading to a
denial of service. (CVE-2008-5300)

Helge Deller discovered that PA-RISC stack unwinding was not handled
correctly. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system,
leading do a denial of service. This did not affect official Ubuntu
kernels, but was fixed in the source for anyone performing HPPA kernel
builds. (CVE-2008-5395)

It was discovered that the ATA subsystem did not correctly set
timeouts. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a system hang,
leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5700)

It was discovered that the ib700 watchdog timer did not correctly
check buffer sizes. A local attacker could send a specially crafted
ioctl to the device to cause a system crash, leading to a denial of
service. (CVE-2008-5702).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
