kernel: bnep device field missing NULL terminator

The bnepsockioctl function in net/bluetooth/bnep/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not ensure that a certain device field ends with a '\0' character, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory, or cause a denial of service BUG and...

kernel: drivers/char/nozomi.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

The nttyioctltiocgicount function in drivers/char/nozomi.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.36.1 and earlier 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...

kernel: socket filters infoleak

The skrunfilter function in net/core/filter.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2 does not check whether a certain memory location has been initialized before executing a 1 BPFSLDMEM or 2 BPFSLDXMEM instruction, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stac...

kernel: ipc/sem.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

The copysemidtouser function in ipc/sem.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a 1 IPCINFO, 2 SEMINFO, 3 IPCSTAT, or 4 SEMSTAT command in a semctl system call...

SuSE 11 Security Update : Linux kernel (SAT Patch Numbers 3358 / 3361 / 3362)

This security update of the SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 GA kernel updates the kernel to 2.6.27.54 and fixes various security issues and other bugs. The following security issues were fixed : - Multiple integer signedness errors in net/rose/afrose.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a...

kernel: drivers/net/eql.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

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...

kernel: infoleak if print-fatal-signals=1

The printfatalsignal function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32.4 on the i386 platform, when print-fatal-signals is enabled, allows local users to discover the contents of arbitrary memory locations by jumping to an address and then reading a log file, and might allow local use...

kernel: tc: uninitialised kernel memory leak

The tcfilltclass function in net/sched/schapi.c in the tc subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.4.x before 2.4.37.6 and 2.6.x before 2.6.31-rc9 does not initialize certain 1 tcmpad1 and 2 tcmpad2 structure members, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via...

kernel snd_seq_oss_synth_make_info leak

The sndseqosssynthmakeinfo function in sound/core/seq/oss/seqosssynth.c in the sound subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27-rc2 does not verify that the device number is within the range defined by maxsynthdev before returning certain data to the caller, which allows local users to obtain...

Design/Logic Flaw

Unspecified vulnerability in the dynamic tracing framework DTrace in Sun Solaris 10 allows local users with PRIVDTRACEUSER or PRIVDTRACEPROC privileges to obtain sensitive kernel information via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-4126...
