Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 / 6.06 LTS : linux-source-2.6.10/2.6.12/2.6.15 vulnerabilities (USN-302-1)
An integer overflow was discovered in the doreplace function. A local user process with the CAPNETADMIN capability could exploit this to execute arbitrary commands with full root privileges. However, none of Ubuntu's supported packages use this capability with any non-root user, so this only...
CVE-2007-5908
Rejected reason: Buffer overflow in the 1 sysfsshowavailableclocksources and 2 sysfsshowcurrentclocksources functions in Linux kernel 2.6.23 and earlier might allow local users to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via crafted clock source names. NOTE: follow-on analysis by Linux...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2006:123)
A number of vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : The kernel did not clear sockaddrin.sinzero before returning IPv4 socket names for the getsockopt function, which could allow a local user to obtain portions of potentially sensitive memory if getsockopt is called...
Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 : linux-source-2.6.10, linux-source-2.6.12 vulnerabilities (USN-281-1)
The sysmbind function did not properly verify the validity of the 'maxnod' argument. A local user could exploit this to trigger a buffer overflow, which caused a kernel crash. CVE-2006-0557 The SELinux module did not correctly handle the tracer SID when a process was already being traced. A local...
