A local attacker could crash the system by a specific sequence of file create/remove/overwrite operations, linked to allocation of “useless pages” and improper maintenance of i_blocks. Public advisories con...

CVE-2008-4302

CVE-2008-4302 affects the Linux kernel splice subsystem specifically fs/splice.c. The root cause is a failure in add_to_page_cache_lru, after which code attempts to unlock a page that was not locked, enabling a local user to trigger a kernel BUG and system crash (denial of service). Public adviso...

CVE-2008-5395

CVE-2008-5395 is a Linux kernel vulnerability affecting PA-RISC where parisc_show_stack in arch/parisc/kernel/traps.c can be triggered by unwinding a stack containing userspace addresses, allowing local users to crash the system (denial of service). The issue is fixed in the 2.6.28-rc7 kernel (an...

CVE-2008-3792

CVE-2008-3792 affects the Linux kernel SCTP path: net/sctp/socket.c does not verify that the SCTP-AUTH extension is enabled before invoking SCTP-AUTH API functions. This can cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference/panic) via calls such as sctp_setsockopt_auth_chunk, sctp_setsockopt_hm...

CVE-2008-3496

CVE-2008-3496 affects the Linux kernel uvcvideo (V4L) in drivers/media/video/uvc/uvc_driver.c, where a buffer overflow in format descriptor parsing occurs in uvc_parse_format. Affected are kernels older than 2.6.26.1; the ChangeLog indicates this version contains the fix. Public disclosures in SU...

CVE-2008-2944

CVE-2008-2944 describes a double-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel’s utrace support, likely affecting 2.6.18-era builds, reported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Fedora Core 6. Impact: local users can trigger a denial of service (o o p s) via a crash when running the GNU GDB testsuite; thi...

CVE-2008-0352

CVE-2008-0352 affects the Linux kernel 2.6.20–2.6.21.1. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (panic) by sending a certain IPv6 packet, possibly involving the Jumbo Payload hop-by-hop option (jumbogram). The issue has a known fix in 2.6.21.2 (and later); apply the kernel update to mitig...

CVE-2008-2148

CVE-2008-2148 affects the Linux kernel: UTIME_NOW/UTIME_OMIT handling in sys_utimensat in 2.6.22 and older than 2.6.25.3 allows a local user to modify the timestamps of arbitrary files, potentially causing a denial of service. The root cause is improper permission checks for certain UTIME_NOW/UTI...

CVE-2008-1675

The CVE-2008-1675 issue affects the Linux kernel 2.6.x up to 2.6.25.1, where the bdx_ioctl_priv function in the tehuti driver (tehuti.c) does not properly validate register-size related information. This can lead to an unspecified impact, with local attack vectors and potential kernel memory acce...

CVE-2008-0163

The CVE affects Linux kernel 2.6 in vserver setups, where a symlink issue in /proc allows local attackers to access resources across vservers (CVE-2008-0163).
