CVE-2008-4934: Improper Input Validation

The hfsplusblockallocate function in fs/hfsplus/bitmap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc1 does not check a certain return value from the readmappingpage function before calling kmap, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service system crash via a crafted hfsplus filesystem image...

CVE-2008-3833

CVE-2008-3833 affects the Linux kernel up to version 2.6.18 (vulnerable in 2.6.18 and earlier) where generic_file_splice_write in fs/splice.c does not properly strip setuid/setgid bits on writes via splice to a file. This allows local users to gain privileges of a different group or access sensit...

CVE-2008-3833: Undefined Security Weakness

The genericfilesplicewrite function in fs/splice.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified...

CVE-2008-4302

CVE-2008-4302 affects the Linux kernel splice subsystem specifically fs/splice.c. The root cause is a failure in add_to_page_cache_lru, after which code attempts to unlock a page that was not locked, enabling a local user to trigger a kernel BUG and system crash (denial of service). Public adviso...

CVE-2008-4302: Improper Locking

fs/splice.c in the splice subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.2 does not properly handle a failure of the addtopagecachelru function, and subsequently attempts to unlock a page that was not locked, which allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel BUG and system crash, as...

CVE-2008-4210: Undefined Security Weakness

fs/open.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact, by creating an executable...

CVE-2008-3528: Undefined Security Weakness

The error-reporting functionality in 1 fs/ext2/dir.c, 2 fs/ext3/dir.c, and possibly 3 fs/ext4/dir.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.26.5 does not limit the number of printk console messages that report directory corruption, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service temporar...
