Linux kernel before 2.6.15 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a set_mempolicy call with a 0 bitmask, which causes a panic when a page fault occurs.
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 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.
Multiple vulnerabilities in Linux kernel before 2.6.13.2 allow local users to cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS from null dereference) via (1) fput in a 32-bit ioctl on 64-bit x86 systems or (2) sockfd_put in the 32-bit routing_ioctl function on 64-bit systems.
Buffer overflow in the xdr_xcode_array2 function in xdr.c in Linux kernel 2.6.12, as used in SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted XDR data for the nfsacl protocol.
The ext2_make_empty function call in the Linux kernel before 2.6.11.6 does not properly initialize memory when creating a block for a new directory entry, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading the block.
The load_elf_library in the Linux kernel before 2.6.11.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a crafted ELF library or executable, which causes a free of an invalid pointer.
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.
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.
Integer overflow in the SCTP_SOCKOPT_DEBUG_NAME SCTP socket option in socket.c in the Linux kernel 2.4.25 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an optlen value of -1, which causes kmalloc to allocate 0 bytes of memory.
