CVE-2012-4461: Undefined Security Weakness

The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.6.9, when running on hosts that use qemu userspace without XSAVE, allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel OOPS by using the KVMSETSREGS ioctl to set the X86CR4OSXSAVE bit in the guest cr4 register, then calling the KVMRUN ioctl...

kernel: jbd/jbd2: invalid value of first log block leads to oops

The cleanupjournaltail function in the Journaling Block Device JBD functionality in the Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service assertion error and kernel oops via an ext3 or ext4 image with an "invalid log first block value."...

kernel: nfs4_getfacl decoding kernel oops

The NFSv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.2.2 does not properly handle bitmap sizes in GETACL replies, which allows remote NFS servers to cause a denial of service OOPS by sending an excessive number of bitmap words...

kernel: keys: NULL pointer deref in the user-defined key type

The userupdate function in security/keys/userdefined.c in the Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and kernel oops via vectors related to a user-defined key and "updating a negative key into a fully instantiated key."...

kernel: ext4: ext4_ext_insert_extent() kernel oops

fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel before 3.0 does not mark a modified extent as dirty in certain cases of extent splitting, which allows local users to cause a denial of service system crash via vectors involving ext4 umount and mount operations...

Null pointer dereference

The userupdate function in security/keys/userdefined.c in the Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and kernel oops via vectors related to a user-defined key and "updating a negative key into a fully instantiated key."...

CVE-2011-4110

CVE-2011-4110 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel 2.6 that affects the user_update function in security/keys/user_defined.c. The issue allows local users to trigger a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference and kernel oops when updating a negative key into a fully instantiated key. Ex...
