CVE-2011-1083

The CVE-2011-1083 issue affects the Linux kernel epoll implementation (epoll_ctl/epoll_create) as shipped in 2.6.37.2 and earlier. Local attackers can cause CPU denial of service by crafting a user-space application that creates and manages epoll file descriptors, exploiting improper traversal of...

CVE-2011-1495

CVE-2011-1495 affects the Linux kernel up to 2.6.38, in drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_ctl.c. The issue arises because length and offset values are not validated before memory copy operations, potentially allowing a local user to gain privileges, cause memory corruption (DoS), or read sensitive ker...

CVE-2011-1494

CVE-2011-1494 affects the Linux kernel (2.6.38 and earlier) via an integer overflow in the _ctl_do_mpt_command function (drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_ctl.c). This can allow local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by issuing an ioctl with a crafted value tha...

CVE-2011-1577

CVE-2011-1577 describes a heap-based buffer overflow in the is_gpt_valid function of fs/partitions/efi.c in Linux kernel 2.6.38 and earlier. This allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) or potentially other impact via a crafted EFI GPT header size on removable me...

CVE-2011-1172

The CVE-2011-1172 issue affects the Linux kernel IPv6 stack (net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c): root cause is failure to append a null terminator to certain string values, enabling local memory information disclosure via a crafted request (CAP_NET_ADMIN) and reading the modprobe argument. Impact i...

CVE-2011-1171

CVE-2011-1171 affects the Linux kernel prior to 2.6.39, specifically the IPv4 netfilter ip_tables.c path. The issue is that string data in certain structure members may not end with the expected null terminator, enabling a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN to craft a request and read the argument...

CVE-2011-1090

CVE-2011-1090 affects the Linux kernel’s NFSv4 ACL handling: the function __nfs4_proc_set_acl in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c allocates memory with kmalloc but does not always free it, enabling a local attacker to trigger a denial of service (panic) by crafting an ACL set operation. The vulnerability is doc...

CVE-2011-0726

The CVE-2011-0726 entry is supported by connected advisories describing a Linux kernel vulnerability in do_task_stat (fs/proc/array.c) present in kernels before 2.6.39-rc1. The flaw allows local users to defeat ASLR by reading start_code/end_code from /proc/[pid]/stat for PIE processes, implying ...

CVE-2011-1170

CVE-2011-1170 affects the Linux kernel prior to 2.6.39 where net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c does not place the expected null terminator at the end of certain string values. This can allow a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN to craft a request and read the argument to the modprobe process, potentiall...
