Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.20.10 Security Vulnerabilities
The TSB I-TLB load implementation in arch/sparc/kernel/tsb.S in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33 on the SPARC platform does not properly obtain the value of a certain _PAGE_EXEC_4U bit and consequently does not properly implement a non-executable stack, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to exploit stack-based buffer overflows via a crafted application.

Unspecified vulnerability in HP System Management Homepage (SMH) 6.0 before 6.0.0-95 on Linux, and 6.0 before 6.0.0.96 on Windows, allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information, modify data, and cause a denial of service via unknown vectors.

The virtio_net_bad_features function in hw/virtio-net.c in the virtio-net driver in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26, when used on a guest OS in conjunction with qemu-kvm 0.11.0 or KVM 83, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash, and an associated qemu-kvm process exit) by sending a large amount of network traffic to a TCP port on the guest OS, related to a virtio-net whitelist that includes an improper implementation of TCP Segment Offloading (TSO).

Format string vulnerability in vmrun in VMware VIX API 1.6.x, VMware Workstation 6.5.x before 6.5.4 build 246459, VMware Player 2.5.x before 2.5.4 build 246459, and VMware Server 2.x on Linux, and VMware Fusion 2.x before 2.0.7 build 246742, allows local users to gain privileges via format string specifiers in process metadata.

The Linux kernel 2.6.33.2 and earlier, when a ReiserFS filesystem exists, does not restrict read or write access to the .reiserfs_priv directory, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying (1) extended attributes or (2) ACLs, as demonstrated by deleting a file under .reiserfs_priv/xattrs/.

The cifs_create function in fs/cifs/dir.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.33.2 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a NULL nameidata (aka nd) field in a POSIX file-creation request to a server that supports UNIX extensions.

Director Agent 6.1 before 6.1.2.3 in IBM Systems Director on AIX and Linux uses incorrect permissions for the (1) diruninstall and (2) opt/ibm/director/bin/wcitinst scripts, which allows local users to gain privileges by executing these scripts.

The processcompl_compat function in drivers/usb/core/devio.c in Linux kernel 2.6.x through 2.6.32, and possibly other versions, does not clear the transfer buffer before returning to userspace when a USB command fails, which might make it easier for physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information (kernel memory).

Linux kernel 2.6.18 through 2.6.33, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a large number of Bluetooth sockets, related to the size of sysfs files in (1) net/bluetooth/l2cap.c, (2) net/bluetooth/rfcomm/core.c, (3) net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c, and (4) net/bluetooth/sco.c.

The azx_position_ok function in hda_intel.c in Linux kernel 2.6.33-rc4 and earlier, when running on the AMD780V chip set, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown manipulations that trigger a divide-by-zero error.
