Linux ≫ Linux Kernel

Unspecified vulnerability in the ptrace MIPS assembly code in Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.17 allows local users to gain privileges via unknown vectors.

Multiple "overflows" in the io_edgeport driver for Linux kernel 2.4.x have unknown impact and unknown attack vectors.

Unknown vulnerability in the 32bit emulation code in Linux 2.4 on AMD64 systems allows local users to gain privileges.

load_elf_binary in Linux before 2.4.26 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an ELF binary in which the interpreter is NULL.

Integer overflow in the SCTP_SOCKOPT_DEBUG_NAME SCTP socket option in socket.c in the Linux kernel 2.4.25 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an optlen value of -1, which causes kmalloc to allocate 0 bytes of memory.

Race condition in the sysfs_read_file and sysfs_write_file functions in Linux kernel before 2.6.10 allows local users to read kernel memory and cause a denial of service (crash) via large offsets in sysfs files.

The exit_thread function (process.c) in Linux kernel 2.6 through 2.6.5 does not invalidate the per-TSS io_bitmap pointers if a process obtains IO access permissions from the ioperm function but does not drop those permissions when it exits, which all...

A numeric casting discrepancy in sdla_xfer in Linux kernel 2.6.x up to 2.6.5 and 2.4 up to 2.4.29-rc1 allows local users to read portions of kernel memory via a large len argument, which is received as an int but cast to a short, which prevents a rea...

Memory leak in direct-io.c in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via certain O_DIRECT (direct IO) write requests.

Multiple integer overflows in Sbus PROM driver (drivers/sbus/char/openprom.c) for the Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, 2.6.x up to 2.6.7, and possibly later versions, allow local users to execute arbitrary code by specifying (1) a small buffer size t...
