Ubuntu 11.04 : linux vulnerabilities (USN-1167-1)

Aristide Fattori and Roberto Paleari reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's handling of IPv4 icmp packets. A remote user could exploit this to cause a denial of service. CVE-2011-1927 Goldwyn Rodrigues discovered that the OCFS2 filesystem did not correctly clear memory when writing certain file...

USN-1161-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities (EC2)

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that kvm did not correctly clear memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read portions of the kernel stack, leading to a loss of privacy. CVE-2010-3881 Timo Warns discovered that the LDM disk partition handling code did not correctly handle certain values. By...

USN-1162-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities (Marvell Dove)

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-1160-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Dan Rosenberg discovered that IRDA did not correctly check the size of buffers. On non-x86 systems, a local attacker could exploit this to read kernel heap memory, leading to a loss of privacy. CVE-2010-4529 Dan Rosenburg discovered that the CAN subsystem leaked kernel addresses into the /proc...

kernel: fs/partitions: Validate map_count in Mac partition tables

Buffer overflow in the macpartition function in fs/partitions/mac.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service panic or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed Mac OS partition table...

kernel: fs/partitions: Corrupted OSF partition table infoleak

The osfpartition function in fs/partitions/osf.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38 does not properly handle an invalid number of partitions, which might allow local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel heap memory via vectors related to partition-table parsing...
