Denial Of Service (DoS)

kernel is vulnerable to denial of service. It was found that reporting emulation failures to user space could lead to either a local CVE-2014-7842 or a L2-L1 CVE-2010-5313 denial of service. In the case of a local denial of service, an attacker must have access to the MMIO area or be able to acce...

Improper Access Control

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's floppy driver handled user space provided data in certain error code paths while processing FDRAWCMD IOCTL commands. A local user with write access to /dev/fdX could use this flaw to free using the kfree function arbitrary kernel memory...

Information Disclosure

kernel-rt is vulnerable to information disclosure. A memory disclosure flaw was found in the way the loadscript function in the binfmtscript binary format handler handled excessive recursions. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak kernel stack memory to user-space by executing...

USN-3931-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

M. Vefa Bicakci and Andy Lutomirski discovered that the kernel did not properly set up all arguments to an error handler callback used when running as a paravirtualized guest. An unprivileged attacker in a paravirtualized guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service guest VM crash...

Linux Kernel CVE-2019-9213 NULL Dereferences

By following the codepath that Andrea Arcangeli pointed out in his mails regarding the last bug I reported, I noticed that it is possible for userspace on a normal distro to map virtual address 0, which on an X86 system without SMAP enables the exploitation of kernel NULL pointer dereferences. Th...
