Buffer overflow in the xdr_xcode_array2 function in xdr.c in Linux kernel 2.6.12, as used in SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted XDR data for the nf...

Array index overflow in the xfrm_sk_policy_insert function in xfrm_user.c in Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops or deadlock) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a p->dir value that is larger than XFRM_POLICY_OU...

The ptrace call in the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.10 for the AMD64 platform allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a "non-canonical" address.

Race condition in the ia32 compatibility code for the execve system call in Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.31 and 2.6 before 2.6.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a concurrent thread...

The mmap function in the Linux Kernel 2.6.10 can be used to create memory maps with a start address beyond the end address, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash).

ptrace in Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 does not properly verify addresses on the amd64 platform, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash).

syscall in the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.10 for the AMD64 platform, when running in 32-bit compatibility mode, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel hang) via crafted arguments.

Raw character devices (raw.c) in the Linux kernel 2.6.x call the wrong function before passing an ioctl to the block device, which crosses security boundaries by making kernel address space accessible from user space, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2...

The pkt_ioctl function in the pktcdvd block device ioctl handler (pktcdvd.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.12-rc4 and earlier calls the wrong function before passing an ioctl to the block device, which crosses security boundaries by making kernel address space...

The elf_core_dump function in binfmt_elf.c for Linux kernel 2.x.x to 2.2.27-rc2, 2.4.x to 2.4.31-pre1, and 2.6.x to 2.6.12-rc4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an ELF binary that, in certain conditions involving the create_elf_tables ...
