Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2007:171)

Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The Linux kernel did not properly save or restore EFLAGS during a context switch, or reset the flags when creating new threads, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service process crash CVE-2006-5755. The...

USN-508-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

A buffer overflow was discovered in the Moxa serial driver. Local attackers could execute arbitrary code and gain root privileges. CVE-2005-0504 A flaw was discovered in the IPv6 stack's handling of type 0 route headers. By sending a specially crafted IPv6 packet, a remote attacker could cause a...

CVE-2007-4311

The xfersecondarypool function in drivers/char/random.c in the Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.35 performs reseed operations on only the first few bytes of a buffer, which might make it easier for attackers to predict the output of the random number generator, related to incorrect use of the sizeof...

CVE-2007-4311

The CVE-2007-4311 issue affects the Linux kernel random driver (drivers/char/random.c) where reseed operations reuse only the first bytes of a buffer due to incorrect use of sizeof, reducing entropy and potentially making RNG output more predictable. It is described for Linux 2.4.x builds prior t...
