Ubuntu 4.10 : linux-source-2.6.8.1 vulnerabilities (USN-110-1)

Alexander Nyberg discovered an integer overflow in the sysfswritefile function. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel or possibly even execute arbitrary code with root privileges by writing to an user-writable file in /sys under certain low-memory conditions. However, there are...

Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : linux-source-2.6.10, linux-source-2.6.8.1 vulnerabilities (USN-199-1)

A Denial of Service vulnerability was discovered in the syssetmempolicy function. By calling the function with a negative first argument, a local attacker could cause a kernel crash. CAN-2005-3053 A race condition was discovered in the handling of shared memory mappings with CLONEVM. A local...

CVE-2005-4464

Ingate Firewall before 4.3.4 and SIParator before 4.3.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service kernel deadlock by sending a SYN packet for a TCP stream, which requires an RST packet in response...

CVE-2005-3847

The handlestopsignal function in signal.c in Linux kernel 2.6.11 up to other versions before 2.6.13 and 2.6.12.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service deadlock by sending a SIGKILL to a real-time threaded process while it is performing a core dump...

A Denial of Service vulnerability was discovered in the syssetmempolicy function. By calling the function with a negative first argument, a local attacker could cause a kernel crash. CAN-2005-3053 A race condition was discovered in the handling of shared memory mappings with CLONEVM. A local...

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...

CVE-2005-3106

CVE-2005-3106 is a Linux kernel race condition affecting thread management when memory mappings are shared (CLONE_VM). The issue can lead to a local denial of service via deadlock, e.g., by triggering a core dump or waiting-for-exec scenarios. Connected advisories confirm this CVE across multiple...

PT-2005-3936 · Linux +1 · Linux +1

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux version 2.6 Description: A race condition occurs when threads share memory mapping via CLONE VM, such as in linuxthreads and vfork. This might allow local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a deadlock, by triggering a core...
