kernel: load_elf_ binary() does not take account of the need to allocate sufficient space for the entire binary

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel loaded ELF executables. Provided that an application was built as Position Independent Executable PIE, the loader could allow part of that application's data segment to map over the memory area reserved for its stack, potentially resulting in memory...

glibc: ld.so d_tag signedness error in elf_get_dynamic_info

Integer signedness error in the elfgetdynamicinfo function in elf/dynamic-link.h in ld.so in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.0.1 through 2.11.1, when the --verify option is used, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ELF program with a negative value...

Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 / 6.06 LTS : linux-source-2.6.10/-2.6.12/-2.6.15 vulnerabilities (USN-347-1)

Sridhar Samudrala discovered a local Denial of Service vulnerability in the handling of SCTP sockets. By opening such a socket with a special SOLINGER value, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. CVE-2006-4535 Kirill Korotaev discovered that the ELF loader on the ia64 and sparc...

Debian DSA-1082-1 : kernel-source-2.4.17 - several vulnerabilities

Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2004-0427 A local denial of service vulnerability i...

USN-347-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Sridhar Samudrala discovered a local Denial of Service vulnerability in the handling of SCTP sockets. By opening such a socket with a special SOLINGER value, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. CVE-2006-4535 Kirill Korotaev discovered that the ELF loader on the ia64 and sparc...

CVE-2004-0138

CVE-2004-0138 affects the Linux kernel 2.4 series prior to 2.4.25. The vulnerability lies in the ELF loader: a crafted ELF with an invalid interpreter arch triggers a BUG() when an invalid VMA is unmapped, allowing local denial of service (crash). The issue is mitigated by upgrading to 2.4.25 or ...

CVE-2004-0138

The ELF loader in Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.25 allows local users to cause a denial of service crash via a crafted ELF file with an interpreter with an invalid arch architecture, which triggers a BUG when an invalid VMA is unmapped...

CVE-2004-0138: Undefined Security Weakness

The binfmtelf loader binfmtelf.c in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, may create an interpreter name string that is not NULL terminated, which could cause strings longer than PATHMAX to be used, leading to buffer overflows that allow local users to cause a denial of service...

USN-103-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Mathieu Lafon discovered an information leak in the ext2 file system driver. When a new directory was created, the ext2 block written to disk was not initialized, so that previous memory contents which could contain sensitive data like passwords became visible on the raw device. This is...
