Linux Kernel Null Pointer Dereference Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

Linux kernel is an open source operating system. Linux Kernel has a denial of service vulnerability. Allowing a local attacker can exploit the vulnerability to crash the kernel and deny service to legitimate users...

AF_PACKET chocobo_root Privilege Escalation

This module exploits a race condition and use-after-free in the packetsetring function in net/packet/afpacket.c AFPACKET in the Linux kernel to execute code as root CVE-2016-8655. The bug was initially introduced in 2011 and patched in 2016 in version 4.4.0-53.74, potentially affecting a large...

OpenBSD Integer Overflow Vulnerability

OpenBSD is another BSD Unix variant system. OpenBSD suffers from an integer overflow vulnerability that can be exploited by an attacker to crash the kernel, resulting in a denial of service and possibly arbitrary code...

kernel: Uninitialized variable in request_key handling causes kernel crash in error handling path

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's keyring handling code: the keyrejectandlink function could be forced to free an arbitrary memory block. An attacker could use this flaw to trigger a use-after-free condition on the system, potentially allowing for privilege escalation...
