CVSS v3.1 |
| Linux 2.0.37 does not properly encode the Custom segment limit, which allows local users to gain root privileges by accessing and modifying kernel memory. |
| The ping command in Linux 2.0.3x allows local users to cause a denial of service by sending large packets with the -R (record route) option. |
| 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. |
| Multiple ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) device drivers do not pad frames with null bytes, which allows remote attackers to obtain information from previous packets or kernel memory by using malformed packets, as demonstrated by Etherleak. |
| 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. |
| The XFS file system code in Linux 2.4.x has an information leak in which in-memory data is written to the device for the XFS file system, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the raw device. |
| 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. |
| mknod in Linux 2.2 follows symbolic links, which could allow local users to overwrite files or gain privileges. |
| rpc.mountd on Linux, Ultrix, and possibly other operating systems, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of a file on the server by attempting to mount that file, which generates different error messages depending on whether the file exists or not. |
| A system does not present an appropriate legal message or warning to a user who is accessing it. |
| Buffer overflow in the ISO9660 file system component for Linux kernel 2.4.x, 2.5.x and 2.6.x, allows local users with physical access to overflow kernel memory and execute arbitrary code via a malformed CD containing a long symbolic link entry. |
| Linux 2.0.34 does not properly prevent users from sending SIGIO signals to arbitrary processes, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by sending SIGIO to processes that do not catch it. |
| The Linux kernel 2.6.17.10 and 2.6.17.11 and 2.6.18-rc5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via an SCTP socket with a certain SO_LINGER value, possibly related to the patch for CVE-2006-3745. NOTE: older kernel versions for specific Linux distributions are also affected, due to backporting of the CVE-2006-3745 patch. |
| strace allows local users to read arbitrary files via memory mapped file names. |
| The "capabilities" feature in Linux before 2.2.16 allows local users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by setting the capabilities to prevent a setuid program from dropping privileges, aka the "Linux kernel setuid/setcap vulnerability." |
| Buffer overflow in Linux su command gives root access to local users. |
| Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.2 allows local users to read kernel memory and possibly gain privileges via a negative argument to the sysctl call. |
| The Vicam USB driver in Linux before 2.4.25 does not use the copy_from_user function when copying data from userspace to kernel space, which crosses security boundaries and allows local users to cause a denial of service. |
| Antivir / Linux 2.0.9-9, and possibly earlier versions, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the .pid_antivir_$$ temporary file. |
| Linux kernel 2.2.1 through 2.2.19, and 2.4.1 through 2.4.10, allows local users to cause a denial of service via a series of deeply nested symlinks, which causes the kernel to spend extra time when trying to access the link. |
