Code injection

The ULE process scheduler in the FreeBSD kernel gives preference to "interactive" processes that perform voluntary sleeps, which allows local users to cause a denial of service CPU consumption, as described in "Secretly Monopolizing the CPU Without Superuser Privileges."...

CVE-2007-3719

The process scheduler in the Linux kernel 2.6.16 gives preference to "interactive" processes that perform voluntary sleeps, which allows local users to cause a denial of service CPU consumption, as described in "Secretly Monopolizing the CPU Without Superuser Privileges."...

Code injection

The process scheduler in the Linux kernel 2.4 performs scheduling based on CPU billing gathered from periodic process sampling ticks, which allows local users to cause a denial of service CPU consumption by performing voluntary nanosecond sleeps that result in the process not being active during ...

CVE-2007-3724

The process scheduler in the Microsoft Windows XP kernel does not make use of the process statistics kept by the kernel, performs scheduling based on CPU billing gathered from periodic process sampling ticks, and gives preference to "interactive" processes that perform voluntary sleeps, which...

CVE-2007-3723

The process scheduler in the Sun Solaris kernel does not make use of the process statistics kept by the kernel and performs scheduling based upon CPU billing gathered from periodic process sampling ticks, which allows local users to cause a denial of service CPU consumption, as described in...

CVE-2007-3723

The CVE-2007-3723 entry concerns the Sun Solaris kernel process scheduler, which does not use the kernel’s process statistics and bases scheduling on CPU billing from periodic sampling ticks. This design allows local users to cause a denial of service through CPU consumption. The impact is descri...

CVE-2007-3721

The CVE-2007-3721 entry concerns the FreeBSD kernel’s ULE process scheduler, which favors “interactive” processes that issue voluntary sleeps. The underlying issue is that such prioritization can lead to local users causing CPU denial of service (PARTIAL availability impact) as described in the r...

CVE-2007-3722

The 4BSD process scheduler in the FreeBSD kernel performs scheduling based on CPU billing gathered from periodic process sampling ticks, which allows local users to cause a denial of service CPU consumption by performing voluntary nanosecond sleeps that result in the process not being active duri...

CVE-2007-3724

The process scheduler in the Microsoft Windows XP kernel does not make use of the process statistics kept by the kernel, performs scheduling based on CPU billing gathered from periodic process sampling ticks, and gives preference to "interactive" processes that perform voluntary sleeps, which...

CVE-2007-3719

CVE-2007-3719 concerns the Linux kernel scheduler around version 2.6.16, which gives preference to “interactive” processes that perform voluntary sleeps. This bias can be exploited by a local user to trigger a denial of service via CPU consumption. The connected documents reiterate the vulnerabil...

CVE-2007-3719

The process scheduler in the Linux kernel 2.6.16 gives preference to "interactive" processes that perform voluntary sleeps, which allows local users to cause a denial of service CPU consumption, as described in "Secretly Monopolizing the CPU Without Superuser Privileges."...

Fedora Core 1 : kernel-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl (2003-026)

The kernel shipped with Fedora Core 1 was vulnerable to a bug in the error return on a concurrent fork with threaded exit which could be exploited by a user level program to crash the kernel. In addition to this bug fix, the changelog below details various other non-security fixes that have been...
