kernel: drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_main.c reading uninitialized stack memory

The cxgbextensionioctl function in drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3main.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc5 does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a CHELSIOGETQSETNUM ioctl call...

CVE-2010-3437

Integer signedness error in the pktfinddevfromminor function in drivers/block/pktcdvd.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc6 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service invalid pointer dereference and system crash via a crafted index value i...

Integer overflow

Multiple integer overflows in the sndctlnew function in sound/core/control.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc5-next-20100929 allow local users to cause a denial of service heap memory corruption or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted 1 SNDRVCTLIOCTLELEMADD or 2...

CVE-2010-3298

The hsogetcount function in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc5 does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call...

CVE-2010-3297

The eqlgmastercfg function in drivers/net/eql.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc5 does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an EQLGETMASTRCFG ioctl call...

CVE-2010-2537

The btrfsioctlclone function in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 allows local users to overwrite an append-only file via a 1 BTRFSIOCCLONE or 2 BTRFSIOCCLONERANGE ioctl call that specifies this file as a donor...

CVE-2010-2538

CVE-2010-3297

CVE-2010-3297 affects the Linux kernel net/eql driver; the eql_g_master_cfg function in drivers/net/eql.c did not initialize a structure member, enabling local users to read kernel stack memory via an EQL_GETMASTRCFG ioctl. Affects kernels before 2.6.36-rc5; corrected in subsequent patches (net/e...

CVE-2010-2537

CVE-2010-2537 affects the Linux kernel’s btrfs_ioctl_clone path: the btrfs_ioctl_clone function in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c before 2.6.35 allows a local attacker to overwrite an append‑only file when using BTRFS_IOC_CLONE or BTRFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE with a donor file. Impact is local privilege/unauthorized ...
