Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0333-01 - Updates have been made to the Linux kernel. SG_IO ioctl SCSI requests on partitions or LVM volumes could be passed to the underlying block device, allowing a privileged user to bypass restrictions and gain read and write access to the entire block device. A local, unprivileged user could use an integer overflow flaw in drm_mode_dirtyfb_ioctl() to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. A local, unprivileged user could use an integer overflow flaw in drm_mode_dirtyfb_ioctl() to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. A local, unprivileged user could use a flaw in the Performance Events implementation to cause a denial of service. Various other issues have also been addressed.
acd5156e0653e244a607e8d5390d6517Ubuntu Security Notice 1227-1 - Ryan Sweat discovered that the kernel incorrectly handled certain VLAN packets. On some systems, a remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Timo Warns discovered that the EFI GUID partition table was not correctly parsed. A physically local attacker that could insert mountable devices could exploit this to crash the system or possibly gain root privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
9a2337043e81a33d9037f7ecaaaa557bRed Hat Security Advisory 2011-1350-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Flaws in the AGPGART driver implementation when handling certain IOCTL commands could allow a local user to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. An integer overflow flaw in agp_allocate_memory() could allow a local user to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges.
79a99725db7b874bbfbfc554b61f3e78Ubuntu Security Notice 1219-1 - Ryan Sweat discovered that the kernel incorrectly handled certain VLAN packets. On some systems, a remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Timo Warns discovered that the EFI GUID partition table was not correctly parsed. A physically local attacker that could insert mountable devices could exploit this to crash the system or possibly gain root privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
678fa3f9121155e428082acdf2e3e5eeUbuntu 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. 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.
d6d6c466b796642d016c36b4c6cc7088Ubuntu 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.
1f78357cda554fe06c3cdf7c4670479aUbuntu Security Notice 1208-1 - 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.
57d4e528333832d919fb9f1a2804ac7cUbuntu Security Notice 1203-1 - 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.
59ef0609ac282a93e71fd9078631cbafDebian Linux Security Advisory 2303-2 - The linux-2.6 and user-mode-linux upgrades from DSA-2303-1 has caused a regression that can result in an oops during invalid accesses to /proc/<pid>/maps files.
9318148db756c5f402f4dfdd1f2988eaDebian Linux Security Advisory 2303-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or privilege escalation.
917e363aeecf249e485568a28a642067Linux kernel perf_count_sw_cpu_clock event local denial of service exploit.
