VMware Security Advisory 2012-0001 - VMware ESXi and ESX updates to third party library and ESX Service Console address several security issues.
e35a8f609b986bb8b2fc490b895224847eba088cf1f87974f9bc5820e0c3c589Ubuntu Security Notice 1204-1 - Dan Rosenberg discovered that the Linux kernel TIPC implementation contained multiple integer signedness errors. A local attacker could exploit this to gain root privileges. Dan Rosenberg discovered that multiple terminal ioctls did not correctly initialize structure memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read portions of kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. Various other issues were also addressed.
d65a3d265010dcc757cc58fad050e2727d47806e2609d736043b0ff3e79a9e82Ubuntu Security Notice 1187-1 - It was discovered that KVM did not correctly initialize certain CPU registers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Thomas Pollet discovered that the RDS network protocol did not check certain iovec buffers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system or possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user. Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that the Linux kernel X.25 implementation did not correctly clear kernel memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. Various other issues were also addressed.
a19be41338e6dd32d9108d32eb9499a6fb77d0e0338c29273697babba2520b9aUbuntu Security Notice 1170-1 - Dan Rosenberg discovered that multiple terminal ioctls did not correctly initialize structure memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read portions of kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. It was discovered that Xen did not correctly handle certain block requests. A local attacker in a Xen guest could cause the Xen host to use all available CPU resources, leading to a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
1723caad95829c697af2c75e3b2eaa05c86499fc1d4c521bf8bf41368013a4c8Ubuntu Security Notice 1159-1 - Brad Spengler discovered that the kernel did not correctly account for userspace memory allocations during exec() calls. A local attacker could exploit this to consume all system memory, leading to a denial of service. Alexander Duyck discovered that the Intel Gigabit Ethernet driver did not correctly handle certain configurations. If such a device was configured without VLANs, a remote attacker could crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker could exploit this to consume all system memory, leading to a denial of service. Alexander Duyck discovered that the Intel Gigabit Ethernet driver did not correctly handle certain configurations. If such a device was configured without VLANs, a remote attacker could crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
5f9dbdee4c9cb66849ecb0fc61bcdea533d2e1379acc2d9161a3c99809f90f7eUbuntu Security Notice 1160-1 - Dan Rosenberg discovered that IRDA did not correctly check the size of buffers. On non-x86 systems, a local attacker could exploit this to read kernel heap memory, leading to a loss of privacy. Dan Rosenburg discovered that the CAN subsystem leaked kernel addresses into the /proc filesystem. A local attacker could use this to increase the chances of a successful memory corruption exploit. Kees Cook discovered that the IOWarrior USB device driver did not correctly check certain size fields. A local attacker with physical access could plug in a specially crafted USB device to crash the system or potentially gain root privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
934e3131ff453ae37627f4f3e4e27245ba82027abdbac477246bd7efd898fe63Debian Linux Security Advisory 2264-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leak.
4651fa67004a9e7d7332ee7abc2daad2af631e68a48c132d8217d95854217ba6Ubuntu Security Notice 1141-1 - Brad Spengler discovered that the kernel did not correctly account for userspace memory allocations during exec() calls. A local attacker could exploit this to consume all system memory, leading to a denial of service. Alexander Duyck discovered that the Intel Gigabit Ethernet driver did not correctly handle certain configurations. If such a device was configured without VLANs, a remote attacker could crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Various other issues were also discovered.
57d390bf303463d6c20dbdd18a9985526c1055c3466d6eb556248e59af380d06Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-0833-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw in the dccp_rcv_state_process() function could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, even when the socket was already closed. Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in the Linux kernel's Management Module Support for Message Passing Technology based controllers. A local, unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause a denial of service, an information leak, or escalate their privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
