Buffer overflow in the xdr_xcode_array2 function in xdr.c in Linux kernel 2.6.12, as used in SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted XDR data for the nfsacl protocol.

The elf_core_dump function in binfmt_elf.c for Linux kernel 2.x.x to 2.2.27-rc2, 2.4.x to 2.4.31-pre1, and 2.6.x to 2.6.12-rc4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an ELF binary that, in certain conditions involving the create_elf_tables function, causes a negative length argument to pass a signed integer comparison, leading to a buffer overflow.

Integer overflow in Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to overwrite kernel memory by writing to a sysfs file.

nls_ascii.c in Linux before 2.6.8.1 uses an incorrect table size, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a buffer overflow.
