CVE-2011-4131
CVE-2011-4131 affects the Linux kernel’s NFSv4 GETACL handling: the NFSv4 implementation does not correctly manage bitmap sizes when replying, allowing a remote NFS server to trigger a denial of service (OOPS) by sending an excessive number of bitmap words. The issue is fixed in or after the 3.2....
CVE-2011-3637
CVE-2011-3637 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel where the m_stop function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c can trigger an OOPS via vectors that cause an m_start error. Affected: Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.39 (i.e., 2.6.38 and earlier). Impact: local denial of service (kernel oops) without remot...
CVE-2012-0058
The CVE-2012-0058 issue affects the Linux kernel up to version 3.2.2, in the kiocb_batch_free function of fs/aio.c, caused by incorrect iocb management. It allows local attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS). Impact is confined to local execution, with availability as the primary effect de...
