Ubuntu 6.06 LTS : linux-source-2.6.15 vulnerabilities (USN-1111-1)

Dan Rosenberg discovered multiple flaws in the X.25 facilities parsing. If a system was using X.25, a remote attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. CVE-2010-4164 Vegard Nossum discovered that memory garbage collection was not handled correctly for active...

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS : linux, linux-ec2 vulnerabilities (USN-1141-1)

Brad Spengler discovered that the kernel did not correctly account for userspace memory allocations during exec calls. A local attacker could exploit this to consume all system memory, leading to a denial of service. CVE-2010-4243 Alexander Duyck discovered that the Intel Gigabit Ethernet driver...

USN-1146-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Kees Cook discovered that some ethtool functions did not correctly clear heap memory. A local attacker with CAPNETADMIN privileges could exploit this to read portions of kernel heap memory, leading to a loss of privacy. CVE-2010-4655 Kees Cook discovered that the IOWarrior USB device driver did n...

CVE-2011-2182

The ldmfragadd function in fs/partitions/ldm.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.1 does not properly handle memory allocation for non-initial fragments, which might allow local users to conduct buffer overflow attacks, and gain privileges or obtain sensitive information, via a crafted LDM partiti...
