USN-5919-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the Upper Level Protocol ULP subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle sockets entering the LISTEN state in certain protocols, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execut...

K16830: Linux vulnerability CVE-2014-8171

Security Advisory Description It was found that the Linux kernel memory resource controller's memcg handling of OOM out of memory conditions could lead to deadlocks. An attacker able to continuously spawn new processes within a single memory-constrained cgroup during an OOM event could use this...

SUSE CVE-2004-1016

The scmsend function in the scm layer for Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.28, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.9, allows local users to cause a denial of service system hang via crafted auxiliary messages that are passed to the sendmsg function, which causes a deadlock condition...

SUSE CVE-2005-0937

Some futex functions in futex.c for Linux kernel 2.6.x perform getuser calls while holding the mmapsem semaphore, which could allow local users to cause a deadlock condition in dopagefault by triggering getuser faults while another thread is executing mmap or other functions...

SUSE CVE-2005-3107

fs/exec.c in Linux 2.6, when one thread is tracing another thread that shares the same memory map, might allow local users to cause a denial of service deadlock by forcing a core dump when the traced thread is in the TASKTRACED state...

SUSE CVE-2006-4342

The kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service deadlock by running the shmat function on an shm at the same time that shmctl is removing that shm IPCRMID, which prevents a spinlock from being unlocked...

SUSE CVE-2006-4814

The mincore function in the Linux kernel before 2.4.33.6 does not properly lock access to user space, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors, possibly related to a deadlock...

SUSE CVE-2009-1388

The ptracestart function in kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.18 does not properly handle simultaneous execution of the docoredump function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service deadlock via vectors involving the ptrace system call and a coredumping thread...

SUSE CVE-2009-1961

The inode double locking code in fs/ocfs2/file.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.30 before 2.6.30-rc3, 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.24, 2.6.29 before 2.6.29.4, and possibly other versions down to 2.6.19 allows local users to cause a denial of service prevention of file creation and removal via a series of splice...

SUSE CVE-2013-4494

Xen before 4.1.x, 4.2.x, and 4.3.x does not take the pagealloclock and granttable.lock in the same order, which allows local guest administrators with access to multiple vcpus to cause a denial of service host deadlock via unspecified vectors...

SUSE CVE-2013-4553

The XENDOMCTLgetmemlist hypercall in Xen 3.4.x through 4.3.x possibly 4.3.1 does not always obtain the pagealloclock and mmrwlock in the same order, which allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service host deadlock...

SUSE CVE-2014-9748

The uvrwlockt fallback implementation for Windows XP and Server 2003 in libuv before 1.7.4 does not properly prevent threads from releasing the locks of other threads, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service deadlock or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging a race...

SUSE CVE-2015-8767

net/sctp/smsideeffect.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3 does not properly manage the relationship between a lock and a socket, which allows local users to cause a denial of service deadlock via a crafted sctpaccept call...
