Information Disclosure

The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's futex subsystem handled the requeuing of certain Priority Inheritance PI futexes. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on...

OSFMount - Mount Disk Images & Create RAM Drives

OSFMount allows you to mount local disk image files bit-for-bit copies of a disk partition in Windows with a drive letter. You can then analyze the disk image file with PassMark OSForensics™ by using the mounted volume's drive letter. By default, the image files are mounted as read only so that t...

Scientific Linux Security Update : kernel on SL7.x x86_64 (20141209)

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation handled the association's output queue. A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets that would cause the system to use an excessive amount of memory, leading to a denial of service. CVE-2014-3688, Important Two flaws we...

Kernel: target/rd: imformation leakage

An information leak flaw was found in the RAM Disks Memory Copy rdmcp backend driver of the iSCSI Target subsystem of the Linux kernel. A privileged user could use this flaw to leak the contents of kernel memory to an iSCSI initiator remote client...

USN-103-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Mathieu Lafon discovered an information leak in the ext2 file system driver. When a new directory was created, the ext2 block written to disk was not initialized, so that previous memory contents which could contain sensitive data like passwords became visible on the raw device. This is...
