kernel: Information leak in the RTNETLINK component

The rtnl_fill_ifinfo function in net/core/rtnetlink.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.4 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application.

kernel: Information leak in the Linux ethernet bridge component

net/bridge/br_mdb.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.4 does not initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted application.

Kernel: HID: picolcd_core: NULL pointer dereference

drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_core.c in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11, when CONFIG_HID_PICOLCD is enabled, allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted device.

kernel: perf/ftrace: insufficient check in perf_trace_event_perm()

The perf_trace_event_perm function in kernel/trace/trace_event_perf.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.2 does not properly restrict access to the perf subsystem, which allows local users to enable function tracing via a crafted application.

Integer overflow in IBM Notes 8.5.x before 8.5.3 FP4 Interim Fix 1 and 9.x before 9.0 Interim Fix 1 on Windows, and 8.5.x before 8.5.3 FP5 and 9.x before 9.0.1 on Linux, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed PNG image in a previewed e-mail message, aka SPR NPEI96K82Q.

Kernel: crypto: algif - suppress sending source address information in recvmsg

The crypto API in the Linux kernel through 3.9-rc8 does not initialize certain length variables, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call, related to the hash_recvmsg function in crypto/algif_hash.c and the skcipher_recvmsg function in crypto/algif_skcipher.c.

Kernel: atm: update msg_namelen in vcc_recvmsg()

The vcc_recvmsg function in net/atm/common.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not initialize a certain length variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.

Kernel: ax25: information leak via msg_name in ax25_recvmsg()

The ax25_recvmsg function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.

Kernel: Bluetooth: possible info leak in bt_sock_recvmsg()

The bt_sock_recvmsg function in net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not properly initialize a certain length variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.
