CVSS v3.1 |
| The Linux kernel before 2.6.16.9 and the FreeBSD kernel, when running on AMD64 and other 7th and 8th generation AuthenticAMD processors, only save/restore the FOP, FIP, and FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE/FXRSTOR when an exception is pending, which allows one process to determine portions of the state of floating point instructions of other processes, which can be leveraged to obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys. NOTE: this is the documented behavior of AMD64 processors, but it is inconsistent with Intel processors in a security-relevant fashion that was not addressed by the kernels. |
| The selinux_ptrace logic in hooks.c in SELinux for Linux 2.6.6 allows local users with ptrace permissions to change the tracer SID to an SID of another process. |
| The linux 2.4 kernel before 2.4.19 assumes that the fninit instruction clears all registers, which could lead to an information leak on processors that do not clear all relevant SSE registers. |
| Linux kernel before 2.6.16.5 does not properly handle uncanonical return addresses on Intel EM64T CPUs, which reports an exception in the SYSRET instead of the next instruction, which causes the kernel exception handler to run on the user stack with the wrong GS. |
| 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. |
| stunnel 4.0.3 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via SIGCHLD signal handler race conditions that cause an inconsistency in the child counter. |
| vipw in the util-linux package before 2.10 causes /etc/shadow to be world-readable in some cases, which would make it easier for local users to perform brute force password guessing. |
| Kernel logging daemon (klogd) in Linux does not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local users to gain root privileges by triggering malformed kernel messages. |
| Xsession in Red Hat Linux 6.1 and earlier can allow local users with restricted accounts to bypass execution of the .xsession file by starting kde, gnome or anotherlevel from kdm. |
| Linux kernel before 2.6.15.5, when running on Intel processors, allows local users to cause a denial of service ("endless recursive fault") via unknown attack vectors related to a "bad elf entry address." |
| perfmon (perfmon.c) in Linux kernel on IA64 architectures allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by interrupting a task while another process is accessing the mm_struct, which triggers a BUG_ON action in the put_page_testzero function. |
| The vncserver wrapper for vnc before 3.3.3r2-21 uses the rand() function instead of srand(), which causes vncserver to generate weak cookies. |
| sys_mbind in mempolicy.c in Linux kernel 2.6.16 and earlier does not sanity check the maxnod variable before making certain computations for the get_nodes function, which has unknown impact and attack vectors. |
| The Linux Kernel before 2.6.15.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NFS client panic) via unknown attack vectors related to the use of O_DIRECT (direct I/O). |
| xdm, with the authComplain variable set to false, allows arbitrary attackers to connect to the X server if the xdm auth directory does not exist. |
| Buffer overflow in Elm 2.5.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long Message-ID header. |
| The strnlen_user function in Linux kernel before 2.6.16 on IBM S/390 can return an incorrect value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors. |
| dm-crypt in Linux kernel 2.6.15 and earlier does not clear a structure before it is freed, which leads to a memory disclosure that could allow local users to obtain sensitive information about a cryptographic key. |
| A patch for shadow-utils 20000902 causes the useradd command to create a mail spool files with read/write privileges of the new user's group (mode 660), which allows other users in the same group to read or modify the new user's incoming email. |
| Race condition in the do_add_counters function in netfilter for Linux kernel 2.6.16 allows local users with CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities to read kernel memory by triggering the race condition in a way that produces a size value that is inconsistent with allocated memory, which leads to a buffer over-read in IPT_ENTRY_ITERATE. |
