Ubuntu 6.10 / 7.04 / 7.10 : linux-source-2.6.17/20/22 vulnerabilities (USN-574-1)

The minix filesystem did not properly validate certain filesystem values. If a local attacker could trick the system into attempting to mount a corrupted minix filesystem, the kernel could be made to hang for long periods of time, resulting in a denial of service. This was only vulnerable in Ubun...

The shmemgetpage function mm/shmem.c in Linux kernel 2.6.11 through 2.6.23 does not properly clear allocated memory in some rare circumstances related to tmpfs, which might allow local users to read sensitive kernel data or cause a denial of service crash...

CVE-2007-6417

CVE-2007-6417

The connected Nessus entry links CVE-2007-6417 to the Linux kernel, affecting 2.6.11–2.6.23. The root cause is in shmem_getpage (mm/shmem.c) where allocated memory is not properly cleared in rare tmpfs-related paths, potentially allowing local users to read sensitive kernel data or crash the syst...

CVE-2006-1524

madviseremove in Linux kernel 2.6.16 up to 2.6.16.6 does not follow file and mmap restrictions, which allows local users to bypass IPC permissions and replace portions of readonly tmpfs files with zeroes, aka the MADVREMOVE vulnerability. NOTE: this description was originally written in a way tha...

CVE-2006-1524

The MADV_REMOVE issue (CVE-2006-1524) affects Linux kernel 2.6.16 up to 2.6.16.6, where madvise_remove does not enforce file/mmap restrictions, enabling a local user to bypass IPC permissions and overwrite portions of readonly tmpfs files with zeros. The problem is tied to the mprotect-related fl...

Ubuntu 4.10 : linux-source-2.6.8.1 vulnerabilities (USN-103-1)

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...

CVE-2005-0977

The shmemnopage function in shmem.c for the tmpfs driver in Linux kernel 2.6 does not properly verify the address argument, which allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel crash via an invalid address...

CVE-2005-0977

The CVE-2005-0977 entry concerns the Linux kernel 2.6 tmpfs shmem_nopage function, where the address argument is not properly verified in shmem.c. This allows a local user to trigger a denial of service (kernel crash) via an invalid address. Public advisories (RHSA-2005:366 / CESA-2005:366) indic...
