CVE-2006-1589

The elfloadfile function in NetBSD 2.0 through 3.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel crash via an ELF interpreter that does not have a PTLOAD section in its header, which triggers a null dereference...

CVE-2006-1589

The CVE-2006-1589 entry affects NetBSD 2.0 through 3.0, where the elf_load_file function is vulnerable. A local user can trigger a kernel crash (denial of service) by loading an ELF interpreter that lacks a PT_LOAD header, causing a null dereference. The available connected documents confirm the ...

Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : linux-source-2.6.10, linux-source-2.6.8.1 vulnerabilities (USN-187-1)

A Denial of Service vulnerability was detected in the stack segment fault handler. A local attacker could exploit this by causing stack fault exceptions under special circumstances scheduling, which lead to a kernel crash. CAN-2005-1767 Vasiliy Averin discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability ...

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...

Ubuntu 4.10 : linux-source-2.6.8.1 vulnerabilities (USN-47-1)

Georgi Guninski discovered two Denial of Service vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. An integer overflow in the vcresize function caused the memory allocation for the new screen being too short, thus causing a buffer overflow and a kernel crash. There was also a memory leak in the ipoptionsget...

Linux Kernel 2.6.x - INVALIDATE_INODE_PAGES2 Local Integer Overflow

/ source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/15846/info Linux kernel is prone to a local integer-overflow vulnerability. A successful attack can result in a kernel crash. Arbitrary code execution may be possible as well, but this has not been confirmed. All 2.6.x versions of the Linux kernel are...

CVE-2002-2188

OpenBSD before 3.2 is affected by a local denial-of-service in the kernel caused by getrlimit(2) with invalid arguments, likely due to an integer signedness error. The impact is a kernel crash. Mitigation provided in the references includes patches such as 018_kernresource.patch (OpenBSD 3.1 comm...

CVE-2002-2188

OpenBSD before 3.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel crash via a call to getrlimit2 with invalid arguments, possibly due to an integer signedness error...

CVE-2005-2457

The driver for compressed ISO file systems zisofs in the Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 allows local users and remote attackers to cause a denial of service kernel crash via a crafted compressed ISO file system...

CVE-2005-2459

CVE-2005-2459 affects the Linux kernel prior to 2.6.12.5, where the huft_build function in inflate.c of the zlib routines returns the wrong value. This bug allows remote attackers to crash the kernel via a specially crafted compressed file, causing a null pointer dereference (a denial of service)...
