kernel: jbd/jbd2: invalid value of first log block leads to oops

The cleanupjournaltail function in the Journaling Block Device JBD functionality in the Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service assertion error and kernel oops via an ext3 or ext4 image with an "invalid log first block value."...

CVE-2012-1090

The cifslookup function in fs/cifs/dir.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS via attempted access to a special file, as demonstrated by a FIFO. "The cifs code will attempt to open files on lookup under certain circumstances. What happens though i...

UBUNTU-CVE-2012-1090

The cifslookup function in fs/cifs/dir.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS via attempted access to a special file, as demonstrated by a FIFO. "The cifs code will attempt to open files on lookup under certain circumstances. What happens though i...

kernel: nfs4_getfacl decoding kernel oops

The NFSv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.2.2 does not properly handle bitmap sizes in GETACL replies, which allows remote NFS servers to cause a denial of service OOPS by sending an excessive number of bitmap words...

kernel: keys: NULL pointer deref in the user-defined key type

The userupdate function in security/keys/userdefined.c in the Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and kernel oops via vectors related to a user-defined key and "updating a negative key into a fully instantiated key."...

The openSUSE 11.4 kernel was updated to fix bugs and security issues. Following security issues have been fixed: CVE-2011-4604: If root does read on a specific socket, it's possible to corrupt kernel memory over network, with an ICMP packet, if the B.A.T.M.A.N. mesh protocol is used. CVE-2011-269...

kernel: ext4: ext4_ext_insert_extent() kernel oops

fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel before 3.0 does not mark a modified extent as dirty in certain cases of extent splitting, which allows local users to cause a denial of service system crash via vectors involving ext4 umount and mount operations...

Null pointer dereference

The qdiscnotify function in net/sched/schapi.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not prevent tcfillqdisc function calls referencing builtin aka CQFBUILTIN Qdisc structures, which allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and OOPS or possibly have unspecified...

CVE-2011-2525

CVE-2011-2525 affects the Linux kernel prior to 2.6.35, where the qdisc_notify function in net/sched/sch_api.c does not prevent tc_fill_qdisc calls referencing builtin Qdisc structures. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference and OOPS, enabling local users to cause a denial of service and pot...

CVE-2011-1573: Incorrect Calculation

net/sctp/smmakechunk.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34, when addipenable and authenable are used, does not consider the amount of zero padding during calculation of chunk lengths for 1 INIT and 2 INIT ACK chunks, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service OOPS via crafted packet...
