kernel: refcount leak in ctnetlink_create_conntrack()

A memory leak problem was found in ctnetlinkcreateconntrack in net/netfilter/nfconntracknetlink.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with CAPNETADMIN privileges to cause a denial of service DoS attack due to a refcount overflow...

kernel: xfrm: NULL pointer dereference in xfrm_update_ae_params()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IP framework for transforming packets XFRM subsystem. This issue may allow a malicious user with CAPNETADMIN privileges to directly dereference a NULL pointer in xfrmupdateaeparams, leading to a possible kernel crash and denial of service...

kernel: xfrm: out-of-bounds read of XFRMA_MTIMER_THRESH nlattr

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IP framework for transforming packets XFRM subsystem. This issue may allow a malicious user with CAPNETADMIN privileges to cause a 4 byte out-of-bounds read of XFRMAMTIMERTHRESH when parsing netlink attributes, leading to potential leakage of sensitive heap...

SUSE CVE-2012-6537

net/xfrm/xfrmuser.c in the Linux kernel before 3.6 does not initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging the CAPNETADMIN capability...

kernel: net: Out of bounds stack read in memcpy_fromiovec

A flaw was found in the Linux networking subsystem where a local attacker with CAPNETADMIN capabilities could cause an out-of-bounds memory access by creating a smaller-than-expected ICMP header and sending to its destination via sendto...

DEBIAN-CVE-2012-6536

net/xfrm/xfrmuser.c in the Linux kernel before 3.6 does not verify that the actual Netlink message length is consistent with a certain header field, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by leveraging the CAPNETADMIN capability and providing a 1 new or 2...

kernel: nl80211: missing check for valid SSID size in scan operations

Multiple buffer overflows in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.2 allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging the CAPNETADMIN capability during scan operations with a long SSID value...

kernel: ipv4: netfilter: arp_tables: fix infoleak to userspace

net/ipv4/netfilter/arptables.c in the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not place the expected '\0' character at the end of string data in the values of certain structure members, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory by...
