CVE-2005-1761

CVE-2005-1761 affects the Linux kernel 2.6 and 2.4 on IA-64. The issue allows local users to crash the kernel (denial of service) via the ptrace mechanism and the restore_sigcontext function. The vulnerability is a local privilege/impact scenario with a kernel crash, as indicated by the CVE mappi...

CVE-2005-1762

The ptrace call in the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.10 for the AMD64 platform allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel crash via a "non-canonical" address...

CVE-2002-2042

ptrace in the QNX realtime operating system RTOS 4.25 and 6.1.0 allows programs to attach to privileged processes, which could allow local users to execute arbitrary code by modifying running processes...

Slackware 9.0 : 2.4.21 kernels available (SSA:2003-168-01)

Precompiled Linux 2.4.21 kernels and source packages are now available for Slackware 9.0 and -current. These provide an improved version of the ptrace fix that had been applied to 2.4.20 in Slackware 9.0 for example, command line options now appear correctly when root does 'ps ax', and fix a...

CVE-2005-0756

CVE-2005-0756 affects Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 on the amd64 platform, where ptrace() does not properly verify addresses, allowing a local attacker to crash the kernel (denial of service). The issue is reiterated across multiple advisories (Red Hat/CentOS RHSA-2005:514, Debian DSA-922/DSA-921, etc.), ...

USN-137-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Alexander Nyberg discovered that ptrace insufficiently validated addresses on the amd64 platform so that it was possible to set an invalid segment base. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. This does not affect the i386 and powerpc platforms in any way. CAN-2005-0756 Chris...

security flaw

The Linux kernel before 2.6.11 on the Itanium IA64 platform has certain "ptrace corner cases" that allow local users to cause a denial of service crash via crafted syscalls, possibly related to MCA/INIT, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-1761...

Debian DSA-276-1 : linux-kernel-s390 - local privilege escalation

The kernel module loader in Linux 2.2 and Linux 2.4 kernels has a flaw in ptrace. This hole allows local users to obtain root privileges by using ptrace to attach to a child process that is spawned by the kernel. Remote exploitation of this hole is not possible. This advisory only covers kernel...
