tag_insight = "The minix filesystem did not properly validate certain filesystem
  values. If a local attacker could trick the system into attempting
  to mount a corrupted minix filesystem, the kernel could be made to
  hang for long periods of time, resulting in a denial of service.
  (CVE-2006-6058)

  Alexander Schulze discovered that the skge driver does not properly
  use the spin_lock and spin_unlock functions. Remote attackers could
  exploit this by sending a flood of network traffic and cause a denial
  of service (crash). (CVE-2006-7229)
  
  Hugh Dickins discovered that hugetlbfs performed certain prio_tree
  calculations using HPAGE_SIZE instead of PAGE_SIZE. A local user
  could exploit this and cause a denial of service via kernel panic.
  (CVE-2007-4133)
  
  Chris Evans discovered an issue with certain drivers that use the
  ieee80211_rx function. Remote attackers could send a crafted 802.11
  frame and cause a denial of service via crash. (CVE-2007-4997)
  
  Alex Smith discovered an issue with the pwc driver for certain webcam
  devices. A local user with physical access to the system could remove
  the device while a userspace application had it open and cause the USB
  subsystem to block. (CVE-2007-5093)
  
  Scott James Remnant discovered a coding error in ptrace. Local users
  could exploit this and cause the kernel to enter an infinite loop.
  (CVE-2007-5500)
  
  Venustech AD-LAB discovered a buffer overflow in the isdn net
  subsystem. This issue is exploitable by local users via crafted input
  to the isdn_ioctl function. (CVE-2007-6063)
  
  It was discovered that the isdn subsystem did not properly check for
  NULL termination when performing ioctl handling. A local user could
  exploit this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-6151)
  
  Blake Frantz discovered that when a root process overwrote an existing
  core file, the resulting core file retained the previous core file's
  ownership. Local users could exploit this to gain access to sensitive
  information. (CVE-2007-6206)
  
  Hugh Dickins discovered the when using the tmpfs filesystem, under
  rare circumstances, a kernel page may be improperly cleared. A local
  user may be able to exploit this and read sensitive kernel data or
  cause a denial of service via crash. (CVE-2007-6417)
  
  Bill Roman discovered that the VFS subsystem did not properly check
  access modes. A local user may be able to gain removal privileges
  on directories. (CVE-2008-0001)";
