Denial of service

The tcpillinoisinfo function in net/ipv4/tcpillinois.c in the Linux kernel before 3.4.19, when the net.ipv4.tcpcongestioncontrol illinois setting is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service divide-by-zero error and OOPS by reading TCP stats...

USN-1488-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Stephan Mueller reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's dl2k network driver's handling of ioctls. An unprivileged local user could leverage this flaw to cause a denial of service. CVE-2012-2313 Timo Warns reported multiple flaws in the Linux kernel's hfsplus filesystem. An unprivileged local user...

Design/Logic Flaw

The nfs4getacluncached function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c in the NFSv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.3.2 uses an incorrect length variable during a copy operation, which allows remote NFS servers to cause a denial of service OOPS by sending an excessive number of bitmap words in an...

Design/Logic Flaw

The ext4fillsuper function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not properly initialize a certain error-report data structure, which allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS by attempting to mount a crafted ext4 filesystem...

CVE-2012-2375

CVE-2012-2375 affects the Linux kernel NFSv4 implementation where __nfs4_get_acl_uncached in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c uses an incorrect length variable during a copy, enabling remote NFS servers to trigger a denial of service (OOPS) by sending excessive bitmap words in an FATTR4_ACL reply. Affected are ...

CVE-2011-4081

crypto/ghash-generic.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and OOPS or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a failed or missing ghashsetkey function call, followed by a 1 ghashupdate function call or 2 ghashfinal...

CVE-2011-2518

The CVE-2011-2518 entry concerns the Linux kernel code path security/tomoyo/mount.c: tomoyo_mount_acl calls kern_path with arguments from the mount system call. This allows local users to trigger a denial of service (OOPS) or possibly other impact via a NULL device name in kernels before 2.6.39.2...

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...

CVE-2011-3637

CVE-2011-3637 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel where the m_stop function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c can trigger an OOPS via vectors that cause an m_start error. Affected: Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.39 (i.e., 2.6.38 and earlier). Impact: local denial of service (kernel oops) without remot...

CVE-2012-0058

The CVE-2012-0058 issue affects the Linux kernel up to version 3.2.2, in the kiocb_batch_free function of fs/aio.c, caused by incorrect iocb management. It allows local attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS). Impact is confined to local execution, with availability as the primary effect de...

CVE-2011-4131

CVE-2011-4131 affects the Linux kernel’s NFSv4 GETACL handling: the NFSv4 implementation does not correctly manage bitmap sizes when replying, allowing a remote NFS server to trigger a denial of service (OOPS) by sending an excessive number of bitmap words. The issue is fixed in or after the 3.2....
