Design/Logic Flaw

drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-v4l2.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel memory write operation or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted number of planes in a VIDIOCDQBUF ioctl call...

Linux kernel restricted use write vulnerability

The Linux kernel is the kernel used by the operating system Linux, released by the Linux Foundation in the United States. A security vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel that stems from the drivers/infiniband stack using the insecure 'write' function to replace the 'bi-directional ioctl '...

Design/Logic Flaw

IOHIDFamily in Apple OS X before 10.10.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a kernel context or cause a denial of service write to kernel memory via a crafted app that calls an unspecified user-client method...

CVE-2013-3077

Multiple integer overflows in the IPMSFILTER and IPV6MSFILTER features in 1 sys/netinet/inmcast.c and 2 sys/netinet6/in6mcast.c in the multicast implementation in the kernel in FreeBSD 8.3 through 9.2-PRERELEASE allow local users to bypass intended restrictions on kernel-memory read and write...

kernel: proc: /proc/<pid>/mem mem_write insufficient permission checking

The memwrite function in the Linux kernel before 3.2.2, when ASLR is disabled, does not properly check permissions when writing to /proc//mem, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying process memory, as demonstrated by Mempodipper...

kernel: arbitrary kernel memory write via i915 GEM ioctl

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915gem.c in the Graphics Execution Manager GEM in the Intel i915 driver in the Direct Rendering Manager DRM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not properly validate pointers to blocks of memory, which allows local users to write to arbitrary kernel memory...

user-mode-linux problems

Program: User-mode-linux Version tested: patch-2.4.17-8 I assume all previous versions would be Not vulnerable: patch-2.4.17-9 Haven't tested any different techniques. Now for something completely different. Anything in 's is my comments to my article... deal with it. Description: ------------...
