CVE-2006-1528

CVE-2006-1528 affects the Linux kernel prior to 2.6.13. The vulnerability arises in the sg (SCSI generic) driver’s handling of memory-mapped I/O space during a dio transfer, allowing a local user to trigger a crash ( Denial of Service ). The connected documents confirm the issue is located in the...

security flaw

Memory leak in the seqfile implementation in the SCSI procfs interface sg.c in Linux kernel 2.6.13 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service memory consumption via certain repeated reads from the /proc/scsi/sg/devices file, which is not properly handled when the next iterator...

security flaw

Multiple integer signedness errors in the sgscsiioctl function in scsiioctl.c for Linux 2.6.x allow local users to read or modify kernel memory via negative integers in arguments to the scsi ioctl, which bypass a maximum length check before calling the copyfromuser and copytouser functions...

CVE-2002-0414

Affected software: KAME-derived IPsec implementations on NetBSD 1.5.2, FreeBSD 4.5, and other OSes. Vulnerability: the implementation does not properly consult the Security Policy Database (SPD), which can allow a Security Gateway (SG) that does not use Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) to for...
