Kernel: drivers: libertas: potential oops in debugfs

The lbsdebugfswrite function in drivers/net/wireless/libertas/debugfs.c in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS by leveraging root privileges for a zero-length write operation...

USN-2050-1: Linux kernel (OMAP4) vulnerabilities

An information leak was discovered in the handling of ICMPv6 Router Advertisement RA messages in the Linux kernel's IPv6 network stack. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service excessive retries and address-generation outage, and consequently obtain sensitive...
