CVE-2014-0181

The CVE-2014-0181 issue affects the Linux kernel Netlink implementation prior to 3.14.1, where there is no authorization based on the opener of a Netlink socket. This can allow a local user to bypass intended access restrictions and modify network configurations by using a Netlink socket for the ...

CVE-2014-9584

CVE-2014-9584 affects the Linux kernel where the function parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal in fs/isofs/rock.c does not validate a length value in the ER System Use Field, enabling local users to obtain sensitive kernel memory via a crafted iso9660 image. This vulnerability exists in kernels before...

CVE-2014-9585

CVE-2014-9585 affects Linux kernels up to 3.18.2. The vdso_addr code in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c can misselect vDSO memory, enabling local users to bypass ASLR by guessing a PMD-end location. Exploitation details and patches/fixes are not provided in the connected documents; monitor advisories for rem...

CVE-2010-4158

The CVE-2010-4158 issue affects the Linux kernel (pre-2.6.36.2) where sk_run_filter in net/core/filter.c may execute BPF_S_LD_MEM or BPF_S_LDX_MEM before a memory location is initialized. This can allow local users to read potentially sensitive kernel stack memory via a crafted socket filter. The...

CVE-2010-3850

CVE-2010-3850: In the Linux kernel, the ec_dev_ioctl function in net/econet/af_econet.c did not require CAP_NET_ADMIN, allowing local users to bypass access restrictions and configure econet addresses via an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl. Documented impact is local privilege/unauthorized configuration; fix a...

CVE-2010-4080

CVE-2010-4080 affects the Linux kernel: snd_hdsp_hwdep_ioctl in sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c does not initialize a structure, enabling local attackers to leak kernel stack information via SNDRV_HDSP_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO. Affected products/versions: Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc6. Impact is an inform...

CVE-2014-1738

CVE-2014-1738 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the floppy driver (raw_cmd_copyout) where processing FDRAWCMD IOCTL calls could allow local attackers with write access to /dev/fd to read kernel heap memory. The flaw is described as an improper restriction of pointers during FDRAWCMD processing, ...

CVE-2010-3296

CVE-2010-3296 affects the Linux kernel driver cxgb3 (cxgb_extension_ioctl in drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_main.c). The advisory states that the code path in kernels up to 2.6.36-rc5 does not properly initialize a structure member, allowing a local user to potentially read sensitive data from kernel st...

CVE-2007-6206

CVE-2007-6206 affects the Linux kernel (2.4.x and 2.6.x up to 2.6.24-rc3). The issue lies in the do_coredump function in fs/exec.c, where the core dump file’s UID is not changed if a core dump already exists in the same location when a root-owned process dumps a core. This behavior could allow a ...

CVE-2014-4027

CVE-2014-4027 affects the Linux kernel prior to 3.14. The flaw is in the rd_build_device_space function (drivers/target/target_core_rd.c), where a data structure is not properly initialized, enabling local users to read sensitive information from ramdisk_mcp memory by abusing access to a SCSI ini...

CVE-2010-3861

CVE-2010-3861 affects the Linux kernel up to version 2.6.36. The vulnerability arises in the ethtool_get_rxnfc function in net/core/ethtool.c, which fails to initialize a certain block of heap memory. This can allow a local user to obtain potentially sensitive information via an ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLA...

CVE-2010-2955

The CVE-2010-2955 issue affects the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc3-next-20100831, specifically the cfg80211_wext_giwessid function in net/wireless/wext-compat.c, which fails to initialize certain structure members. This enables a local attacker to exploit an off-by-one error in ioctl_standard_iw_...

CVE-2010-3297

CVE-2010-3297 affects the Linux kernel net/eql driver; the eql_g_master_cfg function in drivers/net/eql.c did not initialize a structure member, enabling local users to read kernel stack memory via an EQL_GETMASTRCFG ioctl. Affects kernels before 2.6.36-rc5; corrected in subsequent patches (net/e...

CVE-2010-3298

CVE-2010-3298 affects the Linux kernel. The hso_get_count function in drivers/net/usb/hso.c, in kernel builds before 2.6.36-rc5, does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to read potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via the TIOCGICOUNT ioctl. T...
