kernel: corrupted GUID partition tables can cause kernel oops
Heap-based buffer overflow in the isgptvalid function in fs/partitions/efi.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.38 and earlier allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service OOPS or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted size of the EFI GUID partition-table header on...

kernel: NFS: Fix an Oops when truncating a file
The nfswaitonrequest function in fs/nfs/pagelist.c in Linux kernel 2.6.x through 2.6.33-rc5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service Oops via unknown vectors related to truncating a file and an operation that is not interruptible...
kernel: tipc: Fix oops on send prior to entering networked mode
The Transparent Inter-Process Communication TIPC functionality in Linux kernel 2.6.16-rc1 through 2.6.33, and possibly other versions, allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel OOPS by sending datagrams through AFTIPC before entering network mode, which triggers a NULL pointer...
Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDVSA-2009:289)
Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The personality subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc3 has a PERCLEARONSETID setting that does not clear the ADDRCOMPATLAYOUT and MMAPPAGEZERO flags when executing a setuid or setgid program, which makes it easi...
Null pointer dereference
The ddelete function in fs/ecryptfs/inode.c in eCryptfs in the Linux kernel 2.6.31 allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel OOPS and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that cause a "negative dentry" and trigger a NULL pointer dereference, as demonstrated via a...
CVE-2009-2908
CVE-2009-2908 affects the Linux kernel 2.6.31: the d_delete function in fs/ecryptfs/inode.c can lead to a negative dentry and a NULL pointer dereference. Local users can cause a kernel OOPS and potentially execute arbitrary code; exploitation demonstrated via a Mutt temporary directory in an eCry...
Null pointer dereference
The sgbuildindirect function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in Linux kernel 2.6.28-rc1 through 2.6.31-rc8 uses an incorrect variable when accessing an array, which allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel OOPS and NULL pointer dereference, as demonstrated by using xcdroast to duplicate a CD...
kernel: xen: local denial of service
The hypervisorcallback function in Xen, possibly before 3.4.0, as applied to the Linux kernel 2.6.30-rc4, 2.6.18, and probably other versions allows guest user applications to cause a denial of service kernel oops of the guest OS by triggering a segmentation fault in "certain address ranges."...

Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 / 6.06 LTS : linux-source-2.6.10/-2.6.12/-2.6.15 vulnerabilities (USN-311-1)
A race condition was discovered in the doaddcounters functions. Processes which do not run with full root privileges, but have the CAPNETADMIN capability can exploit this to crash the machine or read a random piece of kernel memory. In Ubuntu there are no packages that are affected by this, so th...
LTC36188-Don't allow the stack to grow into hugetlb reserved regions
mm/mmap.c in the hugetlb kernel, when run on PowerPC systems, does not prevent stack expansion from entering into reserved kernel page memory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS via unspecified vectors...
