Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2004-1017     Multiple overflows exist in the io_edgeport driver which     might be usable as a denial of service attack vector.

  - CVE-2005-0124     Bryan Fulton reported a bounds checking bug in the     coda_pioctl function which may allow local users to     execute arbitrary code or trigger a denial of service     attack.

  - CVE-2005-0449     An error in the skb_checksum_help() function from the     netfilter framework has been discovered that allows the     bypass of packet filter rules or a denial of service     attack.

  - CVE-2005-2457     Tim Yamin discovered that insufficient input validation     in the zisofs driver for compressed ISO file systems     allows a denial of service attack through maliciously     crafted ISO images.

  - CVE-2005-2490     A buffer overflow in the sendmsg() function allows local     users to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2005-2555     Herbert Xu discovered that the setsockopt() function was     not restricted to users/processes with the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability. This allows attackers to manipulate IPSEC     policies or initiate a denial of service attack. 

  - CVE-2005-2709     Al Viro discovered a race condition in the /proc     handling of network devices. A (local) attacker could     exploit the stale reference after interface shutdown to     cause a denial of service or possibly execute code in     kernel mode.

  - CVE-2005-2800     Jan Blunck discovered that repeated failed reads of     /proc/scsi/sg/devices leak memory, which allows a denial     of service attack.

  - CVE-2005-2973     Tetsuo Handa discovered that the udp_v6_get_port()     function from the IPv6 code can be forced into an     endless loop, which allows a denial of service attack.

  - CVE-2005-3044     Vasiliy Averin discovered that the reference counters     from sockfd_put() and fput() can be forced into     overlapping, which allows a denial of service attack     through a NULL pointer dereference.

  - CVE-2005-3053     Eric Dumazet discovered that the set_mempolicy() system     call accepts a negative value for its first argument,     which triggers a BUG() assert. This allows a denial of     service attack.

  - CVE-2005-3055     Harald Welte discovered that if a process issues a USB     Request Block (URB) to a device and terminates before     the URB completes, a stale pointer would be     dereferenced. This could be used to trigger a denial of     service attack.

  - CVE-2005-3180     Pavel Roskin discovered that the driver for Orinoco     wireless cards clears its buffers insufficiently. This     could leak sensitive information into user space.

  - CVE-2005-3181     Robert Derr discovered that the audit subsystem uses an     incorrect function to free memory, which allows a denial     of service attack.

  - CVE-2005-3257     Rudolf Polzer discovered that the kernel improperly     restricts access to the KDSKBSENT ioctl, which can     possibly lead to privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2005-3356     Doug Chapman discovered that the mq_open syscall can be     tricked into decrementing an internal counter twice,     which allows a denial of service attack through a kernel     panic.

  - CVE-2005-3358     Doug Chapman discovered that passing a zero bitmask to     the set_mempolicy() system call leads to a kernel panic,     which allows a denial of service attack.

  - CVE-2005-3783     The ptrace code using CLONE_THREAD didn't use the thread     group ID to determine whether the caller is attaching to     itself, which allows a denial of service attack.

  - CVE-2005-3784     The auto-reaping of child processes functionality     included ptraced-attached processes, which allows denial     of service through dangling references.

  - CVE-2005-3806     Yen Zheng discovered that the IPv6 flow label code     modified an incorrect variable, which could lead to     memory corruption and denial of service.

  - CVE-2005-3847     It was discovered that a threaded real-time process,     which is currently dumping core can be forced into a     dead-lock situation by sending it a SIGKILL signal,     which allows a denial of service attack. 

  - CVE-2005-3848     Ollie Wild discovered a memory leak in the     icmp_push_reply() function, which allows denial of     service through memory consumption.

  - CVE-2005-3857     Chris Wright discovered that excessive allocation of     broken file lock leases in the VFS layer can exhaust     memory and fill up the system logging, which allows     denial of service.

  - CVE-2005-3858     Patrick McHardy discovered a memory leak in the     ip6_input_finish() function from the IPv6 code, which     allows denial of service.

  - CVE-2005-4605     Karl Janmar discovered that a signedness error in the     procfs code can be exploited to read kernel memory,     which may disclose sensitive information.

  - CVE-2005-4618     Yi Ying discovered that sysctl does not properly enforce     the size of a buffer, which allows a denial of service     attack.

  - CVE-2006-0095     Stefan Rompf discovered that dm_crypt does not clear an     internal struct before freeing it, which might disclose     sensitive information.

  - CVE-2006-0096     It was discovered that the SDLA driver's capability     checks were too lax for firmware upgrades.

  - CVE-2006-0482     Ludovic Courtes discovered that get_compat_timespec()     performs insufficient input sanitizing, which allows a     local denial of service attack.

  - CVE-2006-1066     It was discovered that ptrace() on the ia64 architecture     allows a local denial of service attack, when preemption     is enabled.
