Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2006:086)

A number of vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : Prior to Linux kernel 2.6.16.5, the kernel does not properly handle uncanonical return addresses on Intel EM64T CPUs which causes the kernel exception handler to run on the user stack with the wrong GS...

CVE-2006-2275

Linux SCTP lksctp before 2.6.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service deadlock via a large number of small messages to a receiver application that cannot process the messages quickly enough, which leads to "spillover of the receive buffer."...

CVE-2006-2275

Ubuntu 4.10 : linux-source-2.6.8.1 vulnerabilities (USN-110-1)

Alexander Nyberg discovered an integer overflow in the sysfswritefile function. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel or possibly even execute arbitrary code with root privileges by writing to an user-writable file in /sys under certain low-memory conditions. However, there are...
