CVSS v3.1 |
| Memory leak in __setlease in fs/locks.c in Linux kernel before 2.6.16.16 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via unspecified actions related to an "uninitialised return value," aka "slab leak." |
| 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. |
| load_elf_binary in Linux before 2.4.26 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an ELF binary in which the interpreter is NULL. |
| The Linux 2.2.x kernel does not restrict the number of Unix domain sockets as defined by the wmem_max parameter, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by requesting a large number of sockets. |
| The virtual memory implementation in Linux kernel 2.6.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by running lsof a large number of times in a way that produces a heavy system load. |
| exit.c in Linux kernel 2.6-test9-CVS, as stored on kernel.bkbits.net, was modified to contain a backdoor, which could allow local users to elevate their privileges by passing __WCLONE|__WALL to the sys_wait4 function. |
| syscall in the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.10 for the AMD64 platform, when running in 32-bit compatibility mode, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel hang) via crafted arguments. |
| The __group_complete_signal function in the RCU signal handling (signal.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.16, and possibly other versions, has unknown impact and attack vectors related to improper use of BUG_ON. |
| The SCTP-netfilter code in Linux kernel before 2.6.16.13 allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (infinite loop) via unknown vectors that cause an invalid SCTP chunk size to be processed by the for_each_sctp_chunk function. |
| ip_route_input in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.16.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a request for a route for a multicast IP address, which triggers a null dereference. |
| Linux 2.6.11 on 64-bit x86 (x86_64) platforms does not use a guard page for the 47-bit address page to protect against an AMD K8 bug, which allows local users to cause a denial of service. |
| The rwho/rwhod service is running, which exposes machine status and user information. |
| 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 |
| A system does not present an appropriate legal message or warning to a user who is accessing it. |
| Directory traversal vulnerability in smbfs in Linux 2.6.16 and earlier allows local users to escape chroot restrictions for an SMB-mounted filesystem via "..\\" sequences, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2006-1863. |
| ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service. |
| The ptrace call in the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.10 for the AMD64 platform allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a "non-canonical" address. |
| Unknown vulnerability in the eflags checking in the 32-bit ptrace emulation for the Linux kernel on AMD64 systems allows local users to gain privileges. |
| The die_if_kernel function in arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.15.6, possibly when compiled with certain versions of gcc, has the "noreturn" attribute set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by causing user faults on Itanium systems. |
| A race condition in Linux 2.2.1 allows local users to read arbitrary memory from /proc files. |
