CVSS v3.1 |
| Multiple integer signedness errors in the sg_scsi_ioctl function in scsi_ioctl.c for Linux 2.6.x allow local users to read or modify kernel memory via negative integers in arguments to the scsi ioctl, which bypass a maximum length check before calling the copy_from_user and copy_to_user functions. |
| The source code tar archive of the Linux kernel 2.6.16, 2.6.17.11, and possibly other versions specifies weak permissions (0666 and 0777) for certain files and directories, which might allow local users to insert Trojan horse source code that would be used during the next kernel compilation. NOTE: another researcher disputes the vulnerability, stating that he finds "Not a single world-writable file or directory." CVE analysis as of 20060908 indicates that permissions will only be weak under certain unusual or insecure scenarios |
| Buffer overflow in Linux su command gives root access to local users. |
| inflate.c in the zlib routines in the Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a compressed file with "improper tables". |
| madvise_remove in Linux kernel 2.6.16 up to 2.6.16.6 does not follow file and mmap restrictions, which allows local users to bypass IPC permissions and replace portions of readonly tmpfs files with zeroes, aka the MADV_REMOVE vulnerability. NOTE: this description was originally written in a way that combined two separate issues. The mprotect issue now has a separate name, CVE-2006-2071. |
| kmod in the Linux kernel does not set its uid, suid, gid, or sgid to 0, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by sending certain signals to kmod. |
| Integer overflow in sys_epoll_wait in eventpoll.c for Linux kernel 2.6 to 2.6.11 allows local users to overwrite kernel memory via a large number of events. |
| vlan_dev.c in the VLAN code for Linux kernel 2.6.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel oops from null dereference) via certain UDP packets that lead to a function call with the wrong argument, as demonstrated using snmpwalk on snmpd. |
| The exit_thread function (process.c) in Linux kernel 2.6 through 2.6.5 does not invalidate the per-TSS io_bitmap pointers if a process obtains IO access permissions from the ioperm function but does not drop those permissions when it exits, which allows other processes to access the per-TSS pointers, access restricted memory locations, and possibly gain privileges. |
| Memory leak in the VFS file lease handling in locks.c in Linux kernels 2.6.10 to 2.6.15 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via certain Samba activities that cause an fasync entry to be re-allocated by the fcntl_setlease function after the fasync queue has already been cleaned by the locks_delete_lock function. |
| The sysctl functionality (sysctl.c) in Linux kernel before 2.6.14.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) and possibly execute code by opening an interface file in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/, waiting until the interface is unregistered, then obtaining and modifying function pointers in memory that was used for the ctl_table. |
| The atm_get_addr function in addr.c for Linux kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11 before 2.6.11-rc4 may allow local users to trigger a buffer overflow via negative arguments. |
| SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 on the S/390 platform does not properly handle a certain privileged instruction, which allows local users to gain root privileges. |
| Signed integer overflow in the bttv_read function in the bttv driver (bttv-driver.c) in Linux kernel before 2.4.20 has unknown impact and attack vectors. |
| KDE klock allows local users to kill arbitrary processes by specifying an arbitrary PID in the .kss.pid file. |
| The experimental IP packet queuing feature in Netfilter / IPTables in Linux kernel 2.4 up to 2.4.19 and 2.5 up to 2.5.31, when a privileged process exits and network traffic is not being queued, may allow a later process with the same Process ID (PID) to access certain network traffic that would otherwise be restricted. |
| Linux 2.1.132 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by reading a large buffer from a random device (e.g. /dev/urandom), which cannot be interrupted until the read has completed. |
| fte-console in the fte package before 0.46b-4.1 does not drop root privileges, which allows local users to gain root access via the virtual console device. |
| Linux kernel before 2.6.15.3 down to 2.6.12, while constructing an ICMP response in icmp_send, does not properly handle when the ip_options_echo function in icmp.c fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors such as (1) record-route and (2) timestamp IP options with the needaddr bit set and a truncated value. |
| The strnlen_user function in Linux kernel before 2.6.16 on IBM S/390 can return an incorrect value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors. |
