Linux ≫ Linux Kernel

Unspecified versions of the Linux kernel allow local users to cause a denial of service (unrecoverable zombie process) via a program with certain instructions that prevent init from properly reaping a child whose parent has died.

The isdn_ppp_ccp_reset_alloc_state function in drivers/isdn/isdn_ppp.c in the Linux 2.4 kernel before 2.4.34-rc4 does not call the init_timer function for the ISDN PPP CCP reset state timer, which has unknown attack vectors and results in a system cr...

Linux kernel before 2.6.18, when running on x86_64 systems, does not properly save or restore EFLAGS during a context switch, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by causing SYSENTER to set an NT flag, which can trigger a cra...

The mincore function in the Linux kernel before 2.4.33.6 does not properly lock access to user space, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors, possibly related to a deadlock.

Multiple buffer overflows in the cmtp_recv_interopmsg function in the Bluetooth driver (net/bluetooth/cmtp/capi.c) in the Linux kernel 2.4.22 up to 2.4.33.4 and 2.6.2 before 2.6.18.6, and 2.6.19.x, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service ...

The do_coredump function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.19 sets the flag variable to O_EXCL but does not use it, which allows context-dependent attackers to modify arbitrary files via a rewrite attack during a core dump.

smbfs in Linux kernel 2.6.8 and other versions, and 2.4.x before 2.4.34, when UNIX extensions are enabled, ignores certain mount options, which could cause clients to use server-specified uid, gid and mode settings.

The tr_rx function in ibmtr.c for Linux kernel 2.6.19 assigns the wrong flag to the ip_summed field, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted packets that cause the kernel to interpret another field a...

Integer overflow in the get_fdb_entries function in net/bridge/br_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.18.4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a large maxnum value in an ioctl request.

The ReiserFS functionality in Linux kernel 2.6.18, and possibly other versions, allows local users to cause a denial of service via a malformed ReiserFS file system that triggers memory corruption when a sync is performed.
