Versions of udev < 1.4.1 do not verify that netlink messages are coming from the kernel. This allows local users to gain privileges by sending netlink messages from userland.
a339530d415e4d147ac5e6556a603790385a27c54518e11e95069181161f0615Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2009-103 - Security vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed in udev. udev before 1.4.1 does not verify whether a NETLINK message originates from kernel space, which allows local users to gain privileges by sending a NETLINK message from user space. Buffer overflow in the util_path_encode function in udev/lib/libudev-util.c in udev before 1.4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (service outage) via vectors that trigger a call with crafted arguments. The updated packages have been patched to prevent this. Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products.
38de169c54c1efda77134db6247a0bf49fc5eaef401aae8c03d5516972c6e537VMware Security Advisory - A vulnerability in the udev program did not verify whether a NETLINK message originates from kernel space, which allows local users to gain privileges by sending a NETLINK message from user space. Sudo versions 1.6.9p17 through 1.6.9p19 do not properly interpret a system group in the sudoers file during authorization decisions for a user who belongs to that group, which might allow local users to leverage an applicable sudoers file and gain root privileges by using a sudo command. The redirect implementation in curl and libcurl 5.11 through 7.19.3, when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled, accepts arbitrary Location values, which might allow remote HTTP servers to trigger arbitrary requests to intranet servers, read or overwrite arbitrary files by using a redirect to a file: URL, or execute arbitrary commands by using a redirect to an scp: URL.

A local attacker could send specially crafted messages to udev in order to gain root privileges. Sebastian Krahmer discovered a buffer overflow in the path encoding routines in udev. A local attacker could exploit this to crash udev, leading to a denial of service.
