CVE-2009-1895 3 Canonical, Debian, Linux 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 7.2 HIGH N/A
The personality subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc3 has a PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID setting that does not clear the ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT and MMAP_PAGE_ZERO flags when executing a setuid or setgid program, which makes it easier for local users to leverage the details of memory usage to (1) conduct NULL pointer dereference attacks, (2) bypass the mmap_min_addr protection mechanism, or (3) defeat address space layout randomization (ASLR).
CVE-2009-1389 1 Linux 2 Kernel, Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 7.8 HIGH N/A
Buffer overflow in the RTL8169 NIC driver (drivers/net/r8169.c) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel memory corruption and crash) via a long packet.
CVE-2009-4026 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 7.8 HIGH N/A
The mac80211 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc8-next-20091201 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via a crafted Delete Block ACK (aka DELBA) packet, related to an erroneous "code shuffling patch."
CVE-2009-4031 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 7.8 HIGH N/A
The do_insn_fetch function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the x86 emulator in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc8-next-20091125 tries to interpret instructions that contain too many bytes to be valid, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (increased scheduling latency) on the host OS via unspecified manipulations related to SMP support.
CVE-2009-2910 6 Canonical, Fedoraproject, Linux and 3 more 13 Ubuntu Linux, Fedora, Linux Kernel and 10 more 2023-02-12 2.1 LOW N/A
arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31.4 on the x86_64 platform does not clear certain kernel registers before a return to user mode, which allows local users to read register values from an earlier process by switching an ia32 process to 64-bit mode.
CVE-2008-2372 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 4.9 MEDIUM N/A
The Linux kernel 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of calls to the get_user_pages function, which lacks a ZERO_PAGE optimization and results in allocation of "useless newly zeroed pages."
CVE-2008-3526 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 7.8 HIGH N/A
Integer overflow in the sctp_setsockopt_auth_key function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp) implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.24-rc1 through 2.6.26.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted sca_keylength field associated with the SCTP_AUTH_KEY option.
CVE-2008-2931 5 Canonical, Debian, Linux and 2 more 6 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Linux Kernel and 3 more 2023-02-12 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
The do_change_type function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not verify that the caller has the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service by modifying the properties of a mountpoint.
CVE-2009-0029 2 Debian, Linux 2 Debian Linux, Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 7.2 HIGH N/A
The ABI in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 and earlier on s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips 64-bit platforms requires that a 32-bit argument in a 64-bit register was properly sign extended when sent from a user-mode application, but cannot verify this, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted system call.
CVE-2008-3833 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 4.9 MEDIUM N/A
The generic_file_splice_write function in fs/splice.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact, by splicing into an inode in order to create an executable file in a setgid directory, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4210.
CVE-2008-3275 4 Canonical, Debian, Linux and 1 more 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Linux Kernel and 2 more 2023-02-12 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
The (1) real_lookup and (2) __lookup_hash functions in fs/namei.c in the vfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.15 do not prevent creation of a child dentry for a deleted (aka S_DEAD) directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service ("overflow" of the UBIFS orphan area) via a series of attempted file creations within deleted directories.
CVE-2008-4307 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 4.0 MEDIUM N/A
Race condition in the do_setlk function in fs/nfs/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors resulting in an interrupted RPC call that leads to a stray FL_POSIX lock, related to improper handling of a race between fcntl and close in the EINTR case.
CVE-2008-2365 2 Linux, Redhat 3 Linux Kernel, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop 2023-02-12 4.7 MEDIUM N/A
Race condition in the ptrace and utrace support in the Linux kernel 2.6.9 through 2.6.25, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4, allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops) via a long series of PTRACE_ATTACH ptrace calls to another user's process that trigger a conflict between utrace_detach and report_quiescent, related to "late ptrace_may_attach() check" and "race around &dead_engine_ops setting," a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-0771 and CVE-2008-1514. NOTE: this issue might only affect kernel versions before 2.6.16.x.
CVE-2008-2812 7 Avaya, Canonical, Debian and 4 more 15 Communication Manager, Expanded Meet-me Conferencing, Intuity Audix Lx and 12 more 2023-02-12 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
The Linux kernel before 2.6.25.10 does not properly perform tty operations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via vectors involving NULL pointer dereference of function pointers in (1) hamradio/6pack.c, (2) hamradio/mkiss.c, (3) irda/irtty-sir.c, (4) ppp_async.c, (5) ppp_synctty.c, (6) slip.c, (7) wan/x25_asy.c, and (8) wireless/strip.c in drivers/net/.
CVE-2008-3527 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
arch/i386/kernel/sysenter.c in the Virtual Dynamic Shared Objects (vDSO) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.21 does not properly check boundaries, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors, related to the install_special_mapping, syscall, and syscall32_nopage functions.
CVE-2008-3528 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 2.1 LOW N/A
The error-reporting functionality in (1) fs/ext2/dir.c, (2) fs/ext3/dir.c, and possibly (3) fs/ext4/dir.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.26.5 does not limit the number of printk console messages that report directory corruption, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (temporary system hang) by mounting a filesystem that has corrupted dir->i_size and dir->i_blocks values and performing (a) read or (b) write operations. NOTE: there are limited scenarios in which this crosses privilege boundaries.
CVE-2008-3525 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 7.2 HIGH N/A
The sbni_ioctl function in drivers/net/wan/sbni.c in the wan subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.26.3 does not check for the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability before processing a (1) SIOCDEVRESINSTATS, (2) SIOCDEVSHWSTATE, (3) SIOCDEVENSLAVE, or (4) SIOCDEVEMANSIPATE ioctl request, which allows local users to bypass intended capability restrictions.
CVE-2009-0031 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2023-02-12 4.9 MEDIUM N/A
Memory leak in the keyctl_join_session_keyring function (security/keys/keyctl.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.29-rc2 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel memory consumption) via unknown vectors related to a "missing kfree."
CVE-2008-3272 4 Canonical, Debian, Linux and 1 more 7 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Linux Kernel and 4 more 2023-02-12 2.1 LOW N/A
The snd_seq_oss_synth_make_info function in sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_synth.c in the sound subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27-rc2 does not verify that the device number is within the range defined by max_synthdev before returning certain data to the caller, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.
CVE-2008-3832 2 Linux, Redhat 2 Linux Kernel, Fedora 2023-02-12 4.9 MEDIUM N/A
A certain Fedora patch for the utrace subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26.5-28 on Fedora 8, and before 2.6.26.5-45 on Fedora 9, allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash or hang) via a call to the utrace_control function.
