USN-1164-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities (i.MX51)

Thomas Pollet discovered that the RDS network protocol did not check certain iovec buffers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system or possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user. CVE-2010-3865 Dan Rosenberg discovered that the Linux kernel X.25 implementation incorrectly...

Ubuntu 10.10 : linux vulnerabilities (USN-1160-1)

Dan Rosenberg discovered that IRDA did not correctly check the size of buffers. On non-x86 systems, a local attacker could exploit this to read kernel heap memory, leading to a loss of privacy. CVE-2010-4529 Dan Rosenburg discovered that the CAN subsystem leaked kernel addresses into the /proc...

kernel: IB/uverbs: Handle large number of entries in poll CQ

The ibuverbspollcq function in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbscmd.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not initialize a certain response buffer, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory via vectors that cause this buffer to be only partially fille...

kernel: nfs4: Ensure that ACL pages sent over NFS were not allocated from the slab

The nfs4procsetacl function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38 stores NFSv4 ACL data in memory that is allocated by kmalloc but not properly freed, which allows local users to cause a denial of service panic via a crafted attempt to set an ACL...
