CVE-2002-1826

The CVE-2002-1826 issue affects grsecurity 1.9.4 for the Linux kernel (2.4.18). Local users can bypass read-only protections by using mmap to directly map /dev/mem or /dev/kmem into kernel memory, as described in multiple sources (NVD/Red Hat/CVE lists). The connected documents provide the vulner...

CVE-2002-1668

The vulnerability CVE-2002-1668 affects HP-UX 11.11 and earlier. It allows local users to trigger a denial of service (kernel deadlock) via a file-system weakness potentially exploited by mmap() and performing I/O using data from the mapped buffer on the mapped file descriptor. The available sour...

CVE-2002-1668

HP-UX 11.11 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel deadlock, due to a "file system weakness" that is possibly via an mmap system call and performing an I/O operation using data from the mapped buffer on the file descriptor for the mapped file...

CVE-2005-1265

CVE-2005-1265 relates to the mmap weakness in Linux kernel 2.6.x (notably around 2.6.10) that allows a local attacker to create memory maps starting beyond the end address, causing a kernel crash (denial of service) and potentially enabling arbitrary code execution. Connected advisories confirm t...

USN-137-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Alexander Nyberg discovered that ptrace insufficiently validated addresses on the amd64 platform so that it was possible to set an invalid segment base. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. This does not affect the i386 and powerpc platforms in any way. CAN-2005-0756 Chris...

CVE-2005-0937

The CVE-2005-0937 issue is a Linux kernel vulnerability in futex.c (2.6.x) where get_user may be invoked while mmap_sem is held. This can lead to a deadlock in do_page_fault if another thread is executing mmap or related operations, as described in the Linux kernel advisories. Public references (...
