Null pointer dereference

The sysfsreaddir function in the Linux kernel 2.6, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 4.5 and other distributions, allows users to cause a denial of service kernel OOPS by dereferencing a null pointer to an inode in a dentry...

security flaw

The mqopen system call in Linux kernel 2.6.9, in certain situations, can decrement a counter twice "double decrement" as a result of multiple calls to the mntput function when the dentryopen function call fails, which allows local users to cause a denial of service panic via unspecified attack...
