  Unsafe use of copy_to_user in USB drivers may disclose sensitive
  information.
• CVE-2005-0001
  A race condition in the i386 page fault handler may allow privilege
  escalation.
• CVE-2004-0883
  Multiple vulnerabilities in the SMB filesystem code may allow denial
  of service or information disclosure.
• CVE-2004-0949
  An information leak discovered in the SMB filesystem code.
• CVE-2004-1016
  A local denial of service vulnerability has been found in the SCM layer.
• CVE-2004-1333
  An integer overflow in the terminal code may allow a local denial of
  service vulnerability.
• CVE-2004-0997
  A local privilege escalation in the MIPS assembly code has been found.
• CVE-2004-1335
  A memory leak in the ip_options_get() function may lead to denial of
  service.
• CVE-2004-1017
  Multiple overflows exist in the io_edgeport driver which might be usable
  as a denial of service attack vector.
• CVE-2005-0124
  Bryan Fulton reported a bounds checking bug in the coda_pioctl function
  which may allow local users to execute arbitrary code or trigger a denial
  of service attack.
• CVE-2003-0984
  Inproper initialization of the RTC may disclose information.
• CVE-2004-1070
  Insufficient input sanitising in the load_elf_binary() function may
  lead to privilege escalation.
• CVE-2004-1071
  Incorrect error handling in the binfmt_elf loader may lead to privilege
  escalation.
• CVE-2004-1072
  A buffer overflow in the binfmt_elf loader may lead to privilege
  escalation or denial of service.
• CVE-2004-1073
  The open_exec function may disclose information.
• CVE-2004-1074
  The binfmt code is vulnerable to denial of service through malformed
  a.out binaries.
• CVE-2004-0138
  A denial of service vulnerability in the ELF loader has been found.
• CVE-2004-1068
  A programming error in the unix_dgram_recvmsg() function may lead to
  privilege escalation.
• CVE-2004-1234
  The ELF loader is vulnerable to denial of service through malformed
  binaries.
• CVE-2005-0003
  Crafted ELF binaries may lead to privilege escalation, due to
  insufficient checking of overlapping memory regions.
• CVE-2004-1235
  A race condition in the load_elf_library() and binfmt_aout() functions
  may allow privilege escalation.
• CVE-2005-0504
  An integer overflow in the Moxa driver may lead to privilege escalation.
• CVE-2005-0384
  A remote denial of service vulnerability has been found in the PPP
  driver.
• CVE-2005-0135
  An IA64 specific local denial of service vulnerability has been found
  in the unw_unwind_to_user() function.
