kernel: cifs: dentry refcount leak when opening a FIFO on lookup leads to panic on unmount

The cifslookup function in fs/cifs/dir.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS via attempted access to a special file, as demonstrated by a FIFO...

CVE-2012-1090

The cifslookup function in fs/cifs/dir.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS via attempted access to a special file, as demonstrated by a FIFO. "The cifs code will attempt to open files on lookup under certain circumstances. What happens though i...

PT-2009-5258

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel version 2.6.31 Description: The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that cause a "negative dentry" and trigger a NULL pointer dereference. This can be...

Linux kernel local filesystem DoS

The 1 reallookup and 2 lookuphash functions in fs/namei.c in the vfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.15 do not prevent creation of a child dentry for a deleted aka SDEAD directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service "overflow" of the UBIFS orphan area via a...

CVE-2007-3104

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...

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...

Null pointer to an inode in a dentry can cause an oops in sysfs_readdir

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...
