CVE-2013-2224: Undefined Security Weakness

A certain Red Hat patch for the Linux kernel 2.6.32 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 6 allows local users to cause a denial of service invalid free operation and system crash or possibly gain privileges via a sendmsg system call with the IPRETOPTS option, as demonstrated by hemlock.c. NOTE: this...

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDVSA-2013:176)

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel : The scmsetcred function in include/net/scm.h in the Linux kernel before 3.8.11 uses incorrect uid and gid values during credentials passing, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application...

CVE-2013-2141

CVE-2013-2141 affects the Linux kernel; the do_tkill function in kernel/signal.c of kernels before 3.8.9 does not initialize a data structure, enabling local attackers to read sensitive kernel memory via crafted tkill/tgkill calls. Affected contexts are documented in MiracleLinux/OpenVAS advisori...

CVE-2013-2141

The dotkill function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted application that makes a 1 tkill or 2 tgkill system call...

CVE-2013-2128: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

The tcpreadsock function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 does not properly manage skb consumption, which allows local users to cause a denial of service system crash via a crafted splice system call for a TCP socket...

CVE-2013-3954

The posixspawn system call in the XNU kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.8.x does not properly validate the data for file actions and port actions, which allows local users to 1 cause a denial of service panic via a size value that is inconsistent with a header count field, or 2 obtain sensitive...

Design/Logic Flaw

The fillpipeinfo function in bsd/kern/syspipe.c in the XNU kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.8.x allows local users to defeat the KASLR protection mechanism via the PROCPIDFDPIPEINFO option to the procinfo system call for a kernel pipe handle...

CVE-2013-3952

The CVE affects Apple Mac OS X 10.8.x, specifically the XNU kernel’s fill_pipeinfo in bsd/kern/sys_pipe.c. The vulnerability allows local users to defeat KASLR by abusing the PROC_PIDFDPIPEINFO option to the proc_info system call on a kernel pipe handle. Potential impact is exposure of kernel add...

guest denial of service on syscall/sysenter exception generation

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When guest user code running inside a Xen guest operating system attempts to execute a syscall or sysenter instruction, but when the guest operating system has not registered a handler for that instruction, a General Protection Fault may need to be injected into the guest. It ha...

Kernel: sa_restorer information leak

The flushsignalhandlers function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.4 preserves the value of the sarestorer field across an exec operation, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application containing a sigaction system call...

CVE-2013-2094

The perfsweventinit function in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 uses an incorrect integer data type, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted perfeventopen system call...
