Stack consumption vulnerability in the parserockridgeinodeinternal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service uncontrolled recursion, and system crash or reboot via a crafted iso9660 image with a CL entry referring to a directory...

kernel: ath9k: tid->sched race in ath_tx_aggr_sleep()

It was found that a remote attacker could use a race condition flaw in the athtxaggrsleep function to crash the system by creating large network traffic on the system's Atheros 9k wireless network adapter...

kernel: net: rds: dereference of a NULL device in rds_iw_laddr_check()

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the rdsiwladdrcheck function in the Linux kernel's implementation of Reliable Datagram Sockets RDS. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system...

kernel: net: rds: dereference of a NULL device in rds_ib_laddr_check()

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the rdsibladdrcheck function in the Linux kernel's implementation of Reliable Datagram Sockets RDS. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system...

Medium: kernel

Issue Overview: The mediadeviceenumentities function in drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before 3.14.6 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging /dev/media0 read access for a...

Kernel: ALSA: control: do not access controls outside of protected regions

A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ALSA implementation handled user controls. A local, privileged user could use this flaw to crash the system...

openSUSE Security Update : kernel (openSUSE-SU-2014:0985-1)

The Linux kernel was updated to fix security issues and bugs : Security issues fixed: CVE-2014-4699: The Linux kernel on Intel processors did not properly restrict use of a non-canonical value for the saved RIP address in the case of a system call that does not use IRET, which allowed local users...

MGASA-2014-0318 Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities

This kernel update provides the upstream 3.10.50 longterm kernel and fixes the following security issues: Array index error in the aioreadeventsring function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel through 3.15.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a large head value...

Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities

This kernel update provides the upstream 3.12.25 longterm kernel and fixes the following security issues: Array index error in the aioreadeventsring function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel through 3.15.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a large head value...

Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues, several bugs, and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System CVSS base scores,...

kernel: net: rds: dereference of a NULL device in rds_ib_laddr_check()

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the rdsibladdrcheck function in the Linux kernel's implementation of Reliable Datagram Sockets RDS. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system...

Kernel: net: mac80211: crash dues to AP powersave TX vs. wakeup race

A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's mac80211 subsystem implementation handled synchronization between TX and STA wake-up code paths. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system...

kernel: net: rds: dereference of a NULL device in rds_iw_laddr_check()

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the rdsiwladdrcheck function in the Linux kernel's implementation of Reliable Datagram Sockets RDS. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system...

kernel: x86_64: ptrace: sysret to non-canonical address

It was found that the Linux kernel's ptrace subsystem allowed a traced process' instruction pointer to be set to a non-canonical memory address without forcing the non-sysret code path when returning to user space. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially...

kernel: DoS with syscall auditing

An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's system call auditing implementation. On a system with existing audit rules defined, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak kernel memory to user space or, potentially, crash the system...
