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: ext4: ext4_fill_super() missing validation issue

The ext4fillsuper function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.19 and 2.6.28 before 2.6.28.7 does not validate the superblock configuration, which allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and OOPS by attempting to mount a crafted ext4...
