Linux kernel version 2.6.32 (Ubuntu 10.04) suffers from a /proc handling setuid privilege escalation vulnerability.
c88f9d10aef483344a49e72d50ebabcaVMware Security Advisory 2012-0013 - VMware has updated several third party libraries in vSphere and vcOps to address multiple security vulnerabilities.
ab37b6926b046653acdeeef66e7c85baRed Hat Security Advisory 2012-0116-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. The proc file system could allow a local, unprivileged user to obtain sensitive information or possibly cause integrity issues. Non-member VLAN packet handling for interfaces in promiscuous mode and also using the be2net driver could allow an attacker on the local network to cause a denial of service.
80bccdf5c509aae88bc9da2ceeac24cbRed Hat Security Advisory 2012-0007-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's XFS file system implementation handled links with overly long path names. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges by mounting a specially-crafted disk.
6edc55a9494d43e9670cb4fb66d5c724Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1530-03 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. The proc file system could allow a local, unprivileged user to obtain sensitive information or possibly cause integrity issues. Non-member VLAN packet handling for interfaces in promiscuous mode and also using the be2net driver could allow an attacker on the local network to cause a denial of service.
dfc3ef314e2580c0027a786e0bf031cbUbuntu Security Notice 1256-1 - It was discovered that the /proc filesystem did not correctly handle permission changes when programs executed. A local attacker could hold open files to examine details about programs running with higher privileges, potentially increasing the chances of exploiting additional vulnerabilities. Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that the Bluetooth stack did not correctly clear memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. Various other issues were also addressed.
ee2685f0b4d767be1169393f2ba5d7c7Ubuntu Security Notice 1218-1 - 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. Alex Shi and Eric Dumazet discovered that the network stack did not correctly handle packet backlogs. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a large amount of network traffic to cause the system to run out of memory, leading to a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
35d3d5b3963807dd2b342cfa8593fb78Ubuntu Security Notice 1216-1 - Dan Rosenberg discovered that multiple terminal ioctls did not correctly initialize structure memory.

d6d6c466b796642d016c36b4c6cc7088Debian Linux Security Advisory 2310-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leak.
65d8d1aa0819020e5a4ce26c40213ab3Ubuntu Security Notice 1212-1 - Goldwyn Rodrigues discovered that the OCFS2 filesystem did not correctly clear memory when writing certain file holes. A local attacker could exploit this to read uninitialized data from the disk, leading to a loss of privacy. Timo Warns discovered that the LDM disk partition handling code did not correctly handle certain values. By inserting a specially crafted disk device, a local attacker could exploit this to gain root privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
bb1d77163194f3843168c4d7dba75680Ubuntu Security Notice 1211-1 - It was discovered that the /proc filesystem did not correctly handle permission changes when programs executed. A local attacker could hold open files to examine details about programs running with higher privileges, potentially increasing the chances of exploiting additional vulnerabilities. Dan Rosenberg discovered that the X.25 Rose network stack did not correctly handle certain fields. If a system was running with Rose enabled, a remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to gain root privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
