kernel: possible privilege escalation via SG_IO ioctl

The Linux kernel before 3.2.2 does not properly restrict SGIO ioctl calls, which allows local users to bypass intended restrictions on disk read and write operations by sending a SCSI command to 1 a partition block device or 2 an LVM volume...

kernel: no access restrictions of /proc/pid/* after setuid program exec

The proc filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.37 and earlier does not restrict access to the /proc directory tree of a process after this process performs an exec of a setuid program, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service via open, lsee...

kernel: perf tools: may parse user-controlled configuration file

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the perfconfig function in tools/perf/util/config.c in perf, as distributed in the Linux kernel before 3.1, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a crafted config file in the current working directory...

kernel: ipv6: make fragment identifications less predictable

The IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.1 does not generate Fragment Identification values separately for each destination, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service disrupted networking by predicting these values and sending crafted packets...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel version 2.6.18 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 5 Description: The issue is related to a certain Red Hat patch to the br deliver function in net/bridge/br forward.c in the Linux kernel. This allows remote attackers to cause a...

kernel: /proc/PID/io infoleak

fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.4 does not properly restrict access to /proc//io files, which allows local users to obtain sensitive I/O statistics by polling a file, as demonstrated by discovering the length of another user's password...

kernel: ipv4: netfilter: arp_tables: fix infoleak to userspace

net/ipv4/netfilter/arptables.c in the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not place the expected '\0' character at the end of string data in the values of certain structure members, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory by...

Design/Logic Flaw

The agpgenericremovememory function in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38.5 does not validate a certain start parameter, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service system crash via a crafted AGPIOCUNBIND agpioctl ioctl call, a different...
