kernel: fix soft lockups/OOM issues with unix socket garbage collector

Linux kernel 2.6.28 allows local users to cause a denial of service "soft lockup" and process loss via a large number of sendmsg function calls, which does not block during AFUNIX garbage collection and triggers an OOM condition, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-5029...

kernel: Unix sockets kernel panic

The scmdestroy function in net/core/scm.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.27.4, 2.6.26, and earlier makes indirect recursive calls to itself through calls to the fput function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service panic via vectors related to sending an SCMRIGHTS message through a UNIX...

CVE-2004-1069

CVE-2004-1069 describes a race condition affecting SELinux-enabled Linux kernels in the 2.6.x series (through 2.6.9) when handling AF_UNIX network packets. Local attackers could cause a kernel DoS (kernel crash) via SOCK_SEQPACKET Unix domain sockets due to improper handling in sock_dgram_sendmsg...

XFree86: libICE DoS

Hi, I've been sitting on this one for a while. SUMMARY ======= Due to inadequate bounds checking in libICE, a denial of service exists with any application using inet listening libICE for network services. Unfortunately, there is a fairly prominent user of libICE, namely gnome-session. The...
