Buffer overflow in the ixj telephony card driver in Linux before 2.4.20 has unknown impact and attack vectors.

Unknown vulnerability in Linux kernel before 2.4.22 allows local users to gain privileges, related to "R128 DRI limits checking."

Stack-based buffer overflow in the ncp_lookup function for ncpfs in Linux kernel 2.4.x allows local users to gain privileges.

The do_mremap function for the mremap system call in Linux 2.2 to 2.2.25, 2.4 to 2.4.24, and 2.6 to 2.6.2, does not properly check the return value from the do_munmap function when the maximum number of VMA descriptors is exceeded, which allows local...

dm-crypt on Linux kernel 2.6.x, when used on certain file systems with a block size 1024 or greater, has certain "IV computation" weaknesses that allow watermarked files to be detected without decryption.

Unknown vulnerability in the eflags checking in the 32-bit ptrace emulation for the Linux kernel on AMD64 systems allows local users to gain privileges.

Antivir / Linux 2.0.9-9, and possibly earlier versions, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the .pid_antivir_$$ temporary file.

The mremap system call (do_mremap) in Linux kernel 2.4.x before 2.4.21, and possibly other versions before 2.4.24, does not properly perform bounds checks, which allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges by causing ...

Real time clock (RTC) routines in Linux kernel 2.4.23 and earlier do not properly initialize their structures, which could leak kernel data to user space.

Multiple race conditions in the handling of O_DIRECT in Linux kernel prior to version 2.4.22 could cause stale data to be returned from the disk when handling sparse files, or cause incorrect data to be returned when a file is truncated as it is bein...
