CVE-2005-0176

The CVE-2005-0176 issue affects the Linux kernel (2.6.9 and earlier) where shmctl-based locking of System V shared memory could be misused by local unprivileged users to unlock memory from other processes. This could cause sensitive memory contents to be swapped to disk and read by others after r...

CVE-2004-0491

CVE-2004-0491 concerns a flaw in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 where the linux-2.4.21-mlock.patch mismanages the mlock page count when a process unlocks pages owned by another process, allowing local users to mlock more memory than the rlIMIT. The issue is documented across multiple sources (NVD, CV...

CVE-2004-1057

Multiple drivers in Linux kernel 2.4.19 and earlier do not properly mark memory with the VMIO flag, which causes incorrect reference counts and may lead to a denial of service kernel panic when accessing freed kernel pages...

CVE-2004-1092

CVE-2004-1092 affects Midnight Commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier. The issue allows remote Denial-of-Service by causing mc to free unallocated memory (root cause: improper memory handling). The connected sources indicate a fix in Midnight Commander 4.6.0. Remediation: upgrade to MC 4.6.0 or newer ...
