CVSS v3.1 |
| Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion and panic) by creating a large number of connected file descriptors or socketpairs and setting a large data transfer buffer, then preventing Linux from being able to finish the transfer by causing the process to become a zombie, or closing the file descriptor without closing an associated reference. |
| ifconfig, when used on the Linux kernel 2.2 and later, does not report when the network interface is in promiscuous mode if it was put in promiscuous mode using PACKET_MR_PROMISC, which could allow attackers to sniff the network without detection, as demonstrated using libpcap. |
| Race condition in the ia32 compatibility code for the execve system call in Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.31 and 2.6 before 2.6.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a concurrent thread that increments a pointer count after the nargs function has counted the pointers, but before the count is copied from user space to kernel space, which leads to a buffer overflow. |
| The binfmt functionality in the Linux kernel, when "memory overcommit" is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via a malformed a.out binary. |
| IPChains in Linux kernels 2.2.10 and earlier does not reassemble IP fragments before checking the header information, which allows a remote attacker to bypass the filtering rules using several fragments with 0 offsets. |
| The open_exec function in the execve functionality (exec.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, allows local users to read non-readable ELF binaries by using the interpreter (PT_INTERP) functionality. |
| The key_user_lookup function in security/keys/key.c in Linux kernel 2.6.10 to 2.6.11.8 may allow attackers to cause a denial of service (oops) via SMP. |
| The binfmt_elf loader (binfmt_elf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, may create an interpreter name string that is not NULL terminated, which could cause strings longer than PATH_MAX to be used, leading to buffer overflows that allow local users to cause a denial of service (hang) and possibly execute arbitrary code. |
| Linux kernel 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4 with syncookies enabled allows remote attackers to bypass firewall rules by brute force guessing the cookie. |
| The load_elf_binary function in the binfmt_elf loader (binfmt_elf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, does not properly check return values from calls to the kernel_read function, which may allow local users to modify sensitive memory in a setuid program and execute arbitrary code. |
| strace allows local users to read arbitrary files via memory mapped file names. |
| net/ipv4/af_inet.c in Linux kernel 2.4 does not clear sockaddr_in.sin_zero before returning IPv4 socket names from the (1) getsockname, (2) getpeername, and (3) accept functions, which allows local users to obtain portions of potentially sensitive memory. |
| Race condition in SELinux 2.6.x through 2.6.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via SOCK_SEQPACKET unix domain sockets, which are not properly handled in the sock_dgram_sendmsg function. |
| Some configurations of NIS+ in Linux allowed attackers to log in as the user "+". |
| super 3.11.6 and other versions have a buffer overflow in the syslog utility which allows a local user to gain root access. |
| Multiple drivers in Linux kernel 2.4.19 and earlier do not properly mark memory with the VM_IO flag, which causes incorrect reference counts and may lead to a denial of service (kernel panic) when accessing freed kernel pages. |
| The sys_get_thread_area function in process.c in Linux 2.6 before 2.6.12.4 and 2.6.13 does not clear a data structure before copying it to userspace, which might allow a user process to obtain sensitive information. |
| The Orinoco driver (orinoco.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.13 and earlier does not properly clear memory from a previously used packet whose length is increased, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information. |
| The Universal Disk Format (UDF) filesystem driver in Linux kernel 2.6.17 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang and crash) via certain operations involving truncated files, as demonstrated via the dd command. |
| Linux kernel 2.2.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using the mmap() function with a PROT_READ parameter to access non-readable memory pages through the /proc/pid/mem interface. |
