CVE-2008-1615

CVE-2008-1615 affects the Linux kernel (2.6.18 and possibly later) on AMD64 . The vulnerability arises when a local user uses certain ptrace calls, enabling an unprivileged user to crash the kernel, i.e., a local denial of service. The connected Nessus advisories/OSV entries reference this CVE am...

USN-578-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

The minix filesystem did not properly validate certain filesystem values. If a local attacker could trick the system into attempting to mount a corrupted minix filesystem, the kernel could be made to hang for long periods of time, resulting in a denial of service. CVE-2006-6058 Alexander Schulze...

kernel hang via userspace PTRACE+waitid

The waittaskstopped function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23.8 checks a TASKTRACED bit instead of an exitstate value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service machine crash via unspecified vectors. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information...
