kernel: personality: fix PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID

The personality subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc3 has a PERCLEARONSETID setting that does not clear the ADDRCOMPATLAYOUT and MMAPPAGEZERO flags when executing a setuid or setgid program, which makes it easier for local users to leverage the details of memory usage to 1 conduct NULL...

kernel: uninit op in SOCKOPS_WRAP() leads to privesc

The Linux kernel 2.6.0 through 2.6.30.4, and 2.4.4 through 2.4.37.4, does not initialize all function pointers for socket operations in protoops structures, which allows local users to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and gain privileges by using mmap to map page zero, placing arbitrary code on...

CVE-2009-2695

The Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc7 does not properly prevent mmap operations that target page zero and other low memory addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges by exploiting NULL pointer dereference vulnerabilities, related to 1 the default configuration of the allowunconfinedmmapl...

CVE-2009-2695

CVE-2009-2695 affects the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc7, where mmap operations targeting page zero and other low memory addresses are not properly prevented. This enables local privilege escalation via NULL pointer dereference vulnerabilities, linked to (1) SELinux’s allow_unconfined_mmap_low se...

CVE-2009-2695: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer

FreeBSD <= 6.1 kqueue() NULL pointer Dereference Local Root Exploit

No description provided by source. FreeBSD = 6.1 suffers from classical check/use race condition on SMP systems in kevent syscall, leading to kernel mode NULL pointer dereference.
