kernel: GFS2: The setflags ioctl() doesn't check file ownership
The dogfs2setflags function in fs/gfs2/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34-git10 does not verify the ownership of a file, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a SETFLAGS ioctl request...
Microsoft Confirms Unpatched Windows Kernel Flaw
One day after a Google security researcher releases code to expose a flaw that affects every release of the Windows NT kernel — from Windows NT 3.1 1993 up to and including Windows 7 2009 — Microsoft has released a security advisory to acknowledge the issue and warn of the risk of privilege...
Design/Logic Flaw
The kernel in Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10, and OpenSolaris before snv103, does not properly handle interaction between the filesystem and virtual-memory implementations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service deadlock and system halt via vectors involving mmap and write operations on...
kernel: skfp_ioctl inverted logic flaw
The skfpioctl function in drivers/net/skfp/skfddi.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.6 permits SKFPCLRSTATS requests only when the CAPNETADMIN capability is absent, instead of when this capability is present, which allows local users to reset the driver statistics, related to an "inverted logic"...
kernel: remove SUID when splicing into an inode
The genericfilesplicewrite function in fs/splice.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified...

Updated kernel packages that resolve several security issues and fix various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Updated 12th November 2008 The original packages distributed wi...
kernel: missing check before setting mount propagation
The dochangetype function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not verify that the caller has the CAPSYSADMIN capability, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service by modifying the properties of a mountpoint...
kernel: setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPUINFO) with zero value doesn't inherit properly across children
Linux kernel 2.6.17, and other versions before 2.6.22, does not check when a user attempts to set RLIMITCPU to 0 until after the change is made, which allows local users to bypass intended resource limits...
Design/Logic Flaw
The kernel in IBM AIX 6.1 allows local users with ProbeVue privileges to read arbitrary kernel memory and obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors...

Important: Red Hat Security Advisory: kernel security update
Updated kernel packages that fix a security issue in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 kernel are now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. A flaw was foun...
security flaw
The kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service deadlock by running the shmat function on an shm at the same time that shmctl is removing that shm IPCRMID, which prevents a spinlock from being unlocked...
security flaw
net/ipv4/netfilter/ipconntrackcore.c in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6, and possibly net/ipv4/netfilter/nfconntrackl3protoipv4.c in 2.6, does not clear sockaddrin.sinzero before returning IPv4 socket names from the getsockopt function with SOORIGINALDST, which allows local users to obtain portions of...
security flaw
choosenewparent in Linux kernel before 2.6.11.12 includes certain debugging code, which allows local users to cause a denial of service panic by causing certain circumstances involving termination of a parent process...
security flaw
The IPv6 flow label handling code ip6flowlabel.c in Linux kernels 2.4 up to 2.4.32 and 2.6 before 2.6.14 modifies the wrong variable in certain circumstances, which allows local users to corrupt kernel memory or cause a denial of service crash by triggering a free of non-allocated memory...
security flaw
The elfcoredump function in binfmtelf.c for Linux kernel 2.x.x to 2.2.27-rc2, 2.4.x to 2.4.31-pre1, and 2.6.x to 2.6.12-rc4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an ELF binary that, in certain conditions involving the createelftables function, causes a negative length argument to pass ...
security flaw
Multiple vulnerabilities in the IGMP functionality for Linux kernel 2.4.22 to 2.4.28, and 2.6.x to 2.6.9, allow local and remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via 1 the ipmcsource function, which decrements a counter to -1, or 2 the igmpmarksources function, whi...
security flaw
The ELF loader in Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.25 allows local users to cause a denial of service crash via a crafted ELF file with an interpreter with an invalid arch architecture, which triggers a BUG when an invalid VMA is unmapped...
security flaw
Unknown vulnerability in the Linux kernel before 2.4.23, on the AMD AMD64 and Intel EM64T architectures, associated with "setting up TSS limits," allows local users to cause a denial of service crash and possibly execute arbitrary code...
