xattr.c in the ext2 and ext3 file system code for Linux kernel 2.6 does not properly compare the name_index fields when sharing xattr blocks, which could prevent default ACLs from being applied.

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

Race condition in ip_vs_conn_flush in Linux 2.6 before 2.6.13 and 2.4 before 2.4.32-pre2, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service (null dereference) by causing a connection timer to expire while the connection tab

Linux kernel 2.6 and 2.4 on the IA64 architecture allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via ptrace and the restore_sigcontext function.

The selinux_parse_skb_ipv6 function in security/selinux/hooks.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.12-rc4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via vectors associated with an incorrect call to the ipv6_skip_exthdr function.

The NAT code (1) ip_nat_proto_tcp.c and (2) ip_nat_proto_udp.c in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.13 and 2.4 before 2.4.32-rc1 incorrectly declares a variable to be static, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by

The ipt_recent kernel module (ipt_recent.c) in Linux kernel before 2.6.12, when running on 64-bit processors such as AMD64, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via certain attacks such as SSH brute force, which leads t

Linux kernel 2.6.x does not properly restrict socket policy access to users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, which could allow local users to conduct unauthorized activities via (1) ipv4/ip_sockglue.c and (2) ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c.

The raw_sendmsg function in the Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.13.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (change hardware state) or read from arbitrary memory via crafted input.

The KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING operation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 contains an error path that does not properly release the session management semaphore, which allows local users or remote attackers to cause a denial of service (semaphore

Stack-based buffer overflow in the sendmsg function call in the Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.13.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code by calling sendmsg and modifying the message contents in another thread.

The Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 does not properly destroy a keyring that is not instantiated properly, which allows local users or remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via a keyring with a payload that is not empty, which caus

Buffer overflow in ptrace in the Linux Kernel for 64-bit architectures allows local users to write bytes into kernel memory.

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).

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).

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.

The mprotect code (mprotect.c) in Linux 2.6 on Itanium IA64 Montecito processors does not properly maintain cache coherency as required by the architecture, which allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly corrupt data by modifying

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 rw_vm function in usercopy.c in the 4GB split patch for the Linux kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 does not perform proper bounds checking, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash).
