Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.39 Description: The issue allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory. This is possible because the do replace function in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c does not...

kernel: nfs4: Ensure that ACL pages sent over NFS were not allocated from the slab

The nfs4procsetacl function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38 stores NFSv4 ACL data in memory that is allocated by kmalloc but not properly freed, which allows local users to cause a denial of service panic via a crafted attempt to set an ACL...

IPComp encapsulation nested payload vulnerability

Overview Some IPComp implementations may contain a kernel memory corruption vulnerability in their handling of nested encapsulation of IPComp payloads. Description RFC 3173 defines the IP Payload Compression Protocol IPComp as:IP payload compression is a protocol to reduce the size of IP datagram...

kernel: CAN info leak

The bcmconnect function in net/can/bcm.c aka the Broadcast Manager in the Controller Area Network CAN implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.36 and earlier creates a publicly accessible file with a filename containing a kernel memory address, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensiti...

Ubuntu 9.10 : linux, linux-ec2 vulnerabilities (USN-1073-1)

Gleb Napatov discovered that KVM did not correctly check certain privileged operations. A local attacker with access to a guest kernel could exploit this to crash the host system, leading to a denial of service. CVE-2010-0435 Dan Jacobson discovered that ThinkPad video output was not correctly...

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS : linux vulnerabilities (USN-1072-1)

Gleb Napatov discovered that KVM did not correctly check certain privileged operations. A local attacker with access to a guest kernel could exploit this to crash the host system, leading to a denial of service. CVE-2010-0435 Dave Chinner discovered that the XFS filesystem did not correctly order...

USN-1074-2: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Dan Rosenberg discovered that the RDS network protocol did not correctly check certain parameters. A local attacker could exploit this gain root privileges. CVE-2010-3904 Nelson Elhage discovered several problems with the Acorn Econet protocol driver. A local user could cause a denial of service...

USN-1057-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Dave Chinner discovered that the XFS filesystem did not correctly order inode lookups when exported by NFS. A remote attacker could exploit this to read or write disk blocks that had changed file assignment or had become unlinked, leading to a loss of privacy. CVE-2010-2943 Dan Rosenberg discover...

kernel: ipc/compat*.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

The ipc subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc1 does not initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via vectors related to the 1 compatsyssemctl, 2 compatsysmsgctl, and 3 compatsysshmctl functions in...

kernel: drivers/sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

The sndhdsphwdepioctl function in sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc6 does not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an SNDRVHDSPIOCTLGETCONFIGINFO ioctl call...

kernel: mm: mem allocated invisible to oom_kill() when not attached to any threads

fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not enable the OOM Killer to assess use of stack memory by arrays representing the 1 arguments and 2 environment, which allows local users to cause a denial of service memory consumption via a crafted exec system call, aka an "OOM dodging issue," a...
