CVE-2006-2445

Race condition in runposixcputimers in Linux kernel before 2.6.16.21 allows local users to cause a denial of service BUGON crash by causing one CPU to attach a timer to a process that is exiting...

CVE-2006-2445

CVE-2006-2445 is a race-condition bug in Linux kernels prior to 2.6.16.21 affecting run_posix_cpu_timers. A local attacker can trigger a denial-of-service (BUG_ON crash) by attaching a timer to a process that is exiting on a single CPU. The connected SUSE/Ubuntu/Mandriva advisories describe the s...

CVE-2006-2445: Undefined Security Weakness

CVE-2006-2629

Race condition in Linux kernel 2.6.15 to 2.6.17, when running on SMP platforms, allows local users to cause a denial of service crash by creating and exiting a large number of tasks, then accessing the /proc entry of a task that is exiting, which causes memory corruption that leads to a failure i...

CVE-2006-1523

CVE-2006-1523 affects the Linux kernel’s RCU signal handling: the __group_complete_signal function in signal.c may allow local DoS due to an unsafe BUG_ON, guarded by siglock while switch_exit_pids() uses tasklist_lock. Affected version cited is kernel 2.6.16 (and possibly other 2.6.x). The conne...
