OverlayFS in the Linux kernel before 3.0.0-16.28, as used in Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS and 11.10, is missing inode security checks which could allow attackers to bypass security restrictions and perform unauthorized actions.

kernel: memory corruption in sunction tcm_loop_make_naa_tpg() in drivers/target/loopback/tcm_loop.c

In the Linux kernel before 3.1, an off by one in the drivers/target/loopback/tcm_loop.c tcm_loop_make_naa_tpg() function could result in at least memory corruption.

In the Linux kernel through 3.1 there is an information disclosure issue via /proc/stat.

Linux kernel through 3.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive keystroke information via access to /dev/pts/ and /dev/tty*.

fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel through 3.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive keystroke information via access to /proc/interrupts.

Yubico PAM Module before 2.10 performed user authentication when 'use_first_pass' PAM configuration option was not used and the module was configured as 'sufficient' in the PAM configuration. A remote attacker could use this flaw to circumvent common authentication process and obtain access to the account in question by providing a NULL value (pressing Ctrl-D keyboard sequence) as the password string.

evolution: IMAP does non-SSL connection when storing to Sent folder

evolution-data-server3 3.0.3 through 3.2.1 used insecure (non-SSL) connection when attempting to store sent email messages into the Sent folder, when the Sent folder was located on the remote server. An attacker could use this flaw to obtain login credentials of the victim.

The Linux kernel from v2.3.36 before v2.6.39 allows local unprivileged users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering creation of PTE pages.

A locally locally exploitable DOS vulnerability was found in pax-linux versions 2.6.32.33-test79.patch, 2.6.38-test3.patch, and 2.6.37.4-test14.patch. A bad bounds check in arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown triggered by programs doing an mmap after a MAP_GROWSDOWN mmap will create an infinite loop condition without releasing the VM semaphore eventually leading to a system crash.

kernel: integer signedness error in the btrfs_ioctl_space_info function could lead to a DoS

Integer signedness error in the btrfs_ioctl_space_info function in the Linux kernel 2.6.37 allows local users to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted slot value.

kernel: out of bounds array access in drivers/net/mlx4/port.c

In the Linux kernel before 2.6.37, an out of bounds array access happened in drivers/net/mlx4/port.c. When searching for a free entry in either mlx4_register_vlan() or mlx4_register_mac(), and there is no free entry, the loop terminates without updating the local variable free thus causing out of array bounds access.

kernel: range check issue in drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/atombios.c leads to buffer overflow

In the Linux kernel before 2.6.34, a range check issue in drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/atombios.c could cause an off by one (buffer overflow) problem. NOTE: At least one Linux maintainer believes that this CVE is incorrectly assigned and should be rejected because the value is hard coded and are not user-controllable where it is used

A flaw was discovered in gfs2 file system’s handling of acls (access control lists). An unprivileged local attacker could exploit this flaw to gain access or execute any file stored in the gfs2 file system.

A vulnerability exists in kernel/time/clocksource.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 where on non-GENERIC_TIME systems (GENERIC_TIME=n), accessing /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource results in an OOPS.

Transmission: Two security fixes in upstream v1.92 version

Transmission before 1.92 allows attackers to prevent download of a file by corrupted data during the endgame.

Transmission: Two security fixes in upstream v1.92 version

Transmission before 1.92 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact via a large number of tr arguments in a magnet link.

kernel: usb: buffer overflow in auerswald_probe()

Buffer overflow in the auerswald_probe function in the Auerswald Linux USB driver for the Linux kernel before 2.6.27 allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code, cause a denial of service via a crafted USB device, or take full control of the system.

kernel: mounting proc readonly on a different mount point silently mounts it rw if the /proc mount is rw

Mounting /proc filesystem via chroot command silently mounts it in read-write mode. The user could bypass the chroot environment and gain write access to files, he would never have otherwise.

kernel: buffer overflow in doi_def->tags[] array

In the Linux kernel before 2.6.20, there is an off-by-one bug in net/netlabel/netlabel_cipso_v4.c where it is possible to overflow the doi_def->tags[] array.

kernel: race condition can wake up a PTRACED process

The Linux kernel before 2.4.36-rc1 has a race condition. It was possible to bypass systrace policies by flooding the ptraced process with SIGCONT signals, which can can wake up a PTRACED process.
