Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-1156-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. An integer overflow flaw was found in the i915_gem_execbuffer2() function in the Intel i915 driver in the Linux kernel. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected 32-bit systems. A missing initialization flaw was found in the sco_sock_getsockopt_old() function in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause an information leak.
80c5957b637083b55e9d589f81c8faf3VMware Security Advisory 2012-0001 - VMware ESXi and ESX updates to third party library and ESX Service Console address several security issues.
f01c53578bb58b204ee302611e8e3317Ubuntu 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 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 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.
d372af01183a028bf3bd3528a3aab84fUbuntu Security Notice 1189-1 - 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.
63adb7c7efa179525da379ee2e712499Debian 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.
e4fc6508acdcc4816d4b46bbbcd75992Red 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.
bde747ec06cbdfaa6b01930157a97ef5Debian Linux Security Advisory 2240-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or privilege escalation.
