linux linux kernel 2.6.16.17 vulnerabilities and exploits

(subscribe to this query)

The Universal Disk Format (UDF) filesystem driver in Linux kernel 2.6.17 and previous versions allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang and crash) via certain operations involving truncated files, as demonstrated via the dd command.

The ftdi_sio driver (usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.x up to 2.6.17, and possibly later versions, allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by writing more data to the serial port than the hardware can handle, which causes the data to be queu...

Linux kernel 2.6.x, when using both NFS and EXT3, allows remote malicious users to cause a denial of service (file system panic) via a crafted UDP packet with a V2 lookup procedure that specifies a bad file handle (inode number), which triggers an error and causes an exported dir...

Unspecified vulnerability in the sctp_make_abort_user function in the SCTP implementation in Linux 2.6.x prior to 2.6.17.10 and 2.4.23 up to 2.4.33 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) and possibly gain root privileges via unknown attack vectors.

The copy_from_user function in the uaccess code in Linux kernel 2.6 prior to 2.6.19-rc1, when running on s390, does not properly clear a kernel buffer, which allows local user space programs to read portions of kernel memory by "appending to a file from a bad address," ...

The Linux kernel 2.6.9 up to and including 2.6.17 on the x86_64 and amd64 platforms allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a 32-bit application that calls mprotect on its Virtual Dynamic Shared Object (VDSO) page and then triggers a segmentation fault.

The ext2 file system code in Linux kernel 2.6.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via an ext2 stream with malformed data structures that triggers an error in the ext2_check_page due to a length that is smaller than the minimum.
