kernel: nfsd should drop CAP_MKNOD for non-root

nfsd in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.9 does not drop the CAPMKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the rootsquash option...

DEBIAN-CVE-2008-1353

zabbixagentd in ZABBIX 1.4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service CPU and connection consumption via multiple vfs.file.cksum commands with a special device node such as /dev/urandom or /dev/zero...

devfs -- ruleset bypass

Problem description Due to insufficient parameter checking of the node type during device creation, any user can expose hidden device nodes on devfs mounted file systems within their jail. Device nodes will be created in the jail with their normal default access permissions. Impact Jailed process...

/usr/libexec/vi.recover script contains vulnerability allowing arbitrary zero-length files to be removed

Overview The /usr/libexec/vi.recover script in OpenBSD has a vulnerability that could allow an attacker to remove arbitrary zero-length files, including device nodes. Description The /usr/libexec/vi.recover script in OpenBSD cleans up vi temp files and informs a user via email if a recovery file...
