kernel: r8169 issue reported at 26c3

drivers/net/r8169.c in the r8169 driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.32.3 and earlier does not properly check the size of an Ethernet frame that exceeds the MTU, which allows remote attackers to 1 cause a denial of service temporary network outage via a packet with a crafted size, in conjunction with...

kernel: emergency route cache flushing leads to node deadlock

A certain Red Hat patch for net/ipv4/route.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.18 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service deadlock via crafted packets that force collisions in the IPv4 routing hash table, and trigger a routing "emergency" in which a hash chai...

kernel: nfsv4 client can be crashed by stating a long filename

fs/nfs/client.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23 does not properly initialize a certain structure member that stores the maximum NFS filename length, which allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS via a long filename, related to the encodelookup function...
