kernel: mm: mem allocated invisible to oom_kill() when not attached to any threads

fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not enable the OOM Killer to assess use of stack memory by arrays representing the 1 arguments and 2 environment, which allows local users to cause a denial of service memory consumption via a crafted exec system call, aka an "OOM dodging issue," a...

kernel: ipc/sem.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

The copysemidtouser function in ipc/sem.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a 1 IPCINFO, 2 SEMINFO, 3 IPCSTAT, or 4 SEMSTAT command in a semctl system call...

Null pointer dereference

The doexit function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2 does not properly handle a KERNELDS getfs value, which allows local users to bypass intended accessok restrictions, overwrite arbitrary kernel memory locations, and gain privileges by leveraging a 1 BUG, 2 NULL pointer...
