Kernel: net: information leak in recvmsg handler msg_name & msg_namelen logic

The x25_recvmsg function in net/x25/af_x25.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates a certain length value without ensuring that an associated data structure has been initialized, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system call.

Kernel: 3.4+ arbitrary write with CONFIG_X86_X32

The compat_sys_recvmmsg function in net/compat.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.2, when CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled, allows local users to gain privileges via a recvmmsg system call with a crafted timeout pointer parameter.

flash-plugin: security protection bypass (APSB14-02)

Adobe Flash Player before 11.7.700.260 and 11.8.x and 11.9.x before 12.0.0.38 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 11.2.202.335 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 4.0.0.1390, Adobe AIR SDK before 4.0.0.1390, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 4.0.0.1390 allow attackers to bypass unspecified protection mechanisms via unknown vectors.

flash-plugin: memory address layout randomization defeat (APSB14-02)

Adobe Flash Player before 11.7.700.260 and 11.8.x and 11.9.x before 12.0.0.38 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 11.2.202.335 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 4.0.0.1390, Adobe AIR SDK before 4.0.0.1390, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 4.0.0.1390 allow attackers to defeat the ASLR protection mechanism by leveraging an "address leak."

kernel: x86: exceptions are not cleared in AMD FXSAVE workaround

The restore_fpu_checking function in arch/x86/include/asm/fpu-internal.h in the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 on the AMD K7 and K8 platforms does not clear pending exceptions before proceeding to an EMMS instruction, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (task kill) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted application.

flash-plugin: memory corruption can lead to arbitrary code execution (APSB11-18)

Adobe Flash Player before 10.3.181.26 on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, and 10.3.185.23 and earlier on Android, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, as exploited in the wild in June 2011.

kernel: kvm: device assignment DoS

The kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_device function in virt/kvm/assigned-dev.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.1.10 does not verify permission to access PCI configuration space and BAR resources, which allows host OS users to assign PCI devices and cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via a KVM_ASSIGN_PCI_DEVICE operation.

kernel: drivers/usb/serial/mos*.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

The USB subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc5 does not properly initialize certain structure members, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via vectors related to TIOCGICOUNT ioctl calls, and the (1) mos7720_ioctl function in drivers/usb/serial/mos7720.c and (2) mos7840_ioctl function in drivers/usb/serial/mos7840.c.

kernel: cifs: signedness issue in CIFSFindNext()

Integer signedness error in the CIFSFindNext function in fs/cifs/cifssmb.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 allows remote CIFS servers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large length value in a response to a read request for a directory.

kernel: incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2482

Race condition in the sctp_rcv function in net/sctp/input.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system hang) via SCTP packets. NOTE: in some environments, this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2482.

kernel: tight loop and no preemption can cause system stall

The Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not properly implement a certain clock-update optimization, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via an application that executes code in a loop.

kernel: futex: clear robust_list on execve

The robust futex implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28 does not properly handle processes that make exec system calls, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges by writing to a memory location in a child process.

Multiple integer overflows in Google Chrome before 7.0.517.44 on Linux allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted font.

kernel: xfs heap overflow

Integer overflow in the xfs_acl_from_disk function in fs/xfs/xfs_acl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a filesystem with a malformed ACL, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.

kernel: igmp: Avoid zero delay when receiving odd mixture of IGMP queries

The igmp_heard_query function in net/ipv4/igmp.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and panic) via IGMP packets.

kernel: ipc/compat*.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

The ipc subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc1 does not initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via vectors related to the (1) compat_sys_semctl, (2) compat_sys_msgctl, and (3) compat_sys_shmctl functions in ipc/compat.c; and the (4) compat_sys_mq_open and (5) compat_sys_mq_getsetattr functions in ipc/compat_mq.c.

Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 9.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.7 on Linux and Mac OS X set weak permissions for Firefox Recovery Key.html, which might allow local users to read a Firefox Sync key via standard filesystem operations.

flash-plugin: code execution flaw (APSB12-05)

The Matrix3D component in Adobe Flash Player before 10.3.183.16 and 11.x before 11.1.102.63 on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris; before 11.1.111.7 on Android 2.x and 3.x; and before 11.1.115.7 on Android 4.x allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors.

flash-plugin: information disclosure flaw (APSB12-05)

Adobe Flash Player before 10.3.183.16 and 11.x before 11.1.102.63 on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris; before 11.1.111.7 on Android 2.x and 3.x; and before 11.1.115.7 on Android 4.x does not properly handle integers, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

kernel: Xen Dom0 crash with Windows 2008 R2 64bit DomU + GPLPV

The vbd_create function in Xen 3.1.2, when the Linux kernel 2.6.18 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 is used, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS panic) via an attempted access to a virtual CD-ROM device through the blkback driver. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
