    CVE-2010-3296     The cxgb_extension_ioctl function in drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_main.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc5     does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a CHELSIO_GET_QSET_NUM ioctl call.
    CVE-2010-3877     The get_name function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc2 does not initialize a     certain structure, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack     memory by reading a copy of this structure.
    CVE-2010-4072     The copy_shmid_to_user function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc1 does not initialize a     certain structure, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack     memory via vectors related to the shmctl system call and the old shm interface.
    CVE-2010-4073     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.
    CVE-2010-4075     The uart_get_count function in drivers/serial/serial_core.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc1 does not     properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call.
    CVE-2010-4080     The snd_hdsp_hwdep_ioctl function in sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc6 does     not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information     from kernel stack memory via an SNDRV_HDSP_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO ioctl call.
    CVE-2010-4081     The snd_hdspm_hwdep_ioctl function in sound/pci/rme9652/hdspm.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc6 does     not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information     from kernel stack memory via an SNDRV_HDSPM_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO ioctl call.
    CVE-2010-4158     The sk_run_filter function in net/core/filter.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2 does not check whether     a certain memory location has been initialized before executing a (1) BPF_S_LD_MEM or (2) BPF_S_LDX_MEM     instruction, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory     via a crafted socket filter.
    CVE-2010-4238     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.
    CVE-2010-4243     fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not enable the OOM Killer to assess use of stack memory     by arrays representing the (1) arguments and (2) environment, which allows local users to cause a denial     of service (memory consumption) via a crafted exec system call, aka an OOM dodging issue, a related issue     to CVE-2010-3858.
    CVE-2010-4255     The fixup_page_fault function in arch/x86/traps.c in Xen 4.0.1 and earlier on 64-bit platforms, when     paravirtualization is enabled, does not verify that kernel mode is used to call the     handle_gdt_ldt_mapping_fault function, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     BUG_ON) via a crafted memory access.
    CVE-2010-4263     The igb_receive_skb function in drivers/net/igb/igb_main.c in the Intel Gigabit Ethernet (aka igb)     subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34, when Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) and promiscuous     mode are enabled but no VLANs are registered, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and panic) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a VLAN tagged frame.
    CVE-2010-4343     drivers/scsi/bfa/bfa_core.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not initialize a certain port data     structure, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via read operations on an     fc_host statistics file.
    CVE-2011-1078     CVE-2011-1079     CVE-2011-1080     CVE-2011-1166     CVE-2011-1763     CVE-2011-1478     No description available at the time of writing, please refer to the CVE links below.
