Null pointer dereference

The pppol2tpxmit function in drivers/net/pppol2tp.c in the L2TP implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 does not properly validate certain values associated with an interface, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and OOPS or possibly have unspecifi...

CVE-2010-2495

CVE-2010-2495 affects the Linux kernel’s L2TP implementation (pppol2tp.c). The vulnerability arises from improper validation of certain interface-related values in pppol2tp_xmit, enabling a NULL pointer dereference and an OOPs that can cause a denial of service via routing-change vectors. The iss...

kernel: tipc: Fix oops on send prior to entering networked mode

The Transparent Inter-Process Communication TIPC functionality in Linux kernel 2.6.16-rc1 through 2.6.33, and possibly other versions, allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel OOPS by sending datagrams through AFTIPC before entering network mode, which triggers a NULL pointer...
