Suse » Suse Linux : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In August 2005 (Denial of service)

traps.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.x and 2.4.x executes stack segment faults on an exception stack, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops and stack fault exception).

Linux kernel 2.6 and 2.4 on the IA64 architecture allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via ptrace and the restore_sigcontext function.
