Code injection

The dotaskstat function in fs/proc/array.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39-rc1 does not perform an expected uid check, which makes it easier for local users to defeat the ASLR protection mechanism by reading the startcode and endcode fields in the /proc//stat file for a process executing a PIE...

kernel: fs: pipe.c null pointer dereference

Multiple race conditions in fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc6 allow local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and system crash or gain privileges by attempting to open an anonymous pipe via a /proc//fd/ pathname...

Doug Chapman discovered a flaw in the reference counting in the sysmqopen function. By calling this function in a special way, a local attacker could exploit this to cause a kernel crash. CVE-2005-3356 Karl Janmar discovered that the /proc file system module used signed data types in a wrong way....

security flaw

Linux kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11rc1-bk6 uses different size types for offset arguments to the procfileread and locksreadproc functions, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow when a signed comparison causes negative integers to be used in a positive context...
