Linux kernel version 2.6.32 (Ubuntu 10.04) suffers from a /proc handling setuid privilege escalation vulnerability.
3594c9413e10a2969f55206fd998c42d9a560202fece7a9015817bf484936e19VMware 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.

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.

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.

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.

0ade6375df4fb18e4bf4cc0f6541e056556cbe078ca3ef9db083dea13e260836Ubuntu 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.
