1 CVE-2011-4080 264 Bypass 2012-05-24 2012-05-29
4.0
None Local High Not required Complete None None
The sysrq_sysctl_handler function in kernel/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability to modify the dmesg_restrict value, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and read the kernel ring buffer by leveraging root privileges, as demonstrated by a root user in a Linux Containers (aka LXC) environment.
2 CVE-2011-2484 399 DoS Bypass 2011-06-24 2012-03-19
4.9
None Local Low Not required None None Complete
The add_del_listener function in kernel/taskstats.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.39.1 and earlier does not prevent multiple registrations of exit handlers, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption), and bypass the OOM Killer, via a crafted application.
3 CVE-2011-1019 264 Bypass 2013-03-01 2013-03-04
1.9
None Local Medium Not required None Partial None
The dev_load function in net/core/dev.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38 allows local users to bypass an intended CAP_SYS_MODULE capability requirement and load arbitrary modules by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
4 CVE-2010-4346 264 Bypass 2010-12-22 2012-03-19
2.1
None Local Low Not required None Partial None
The install_special_mapping function in mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc6 does not make an expected security_file_mmap function call, which allows local users to bypass intended mmap_min_addr restrictions and possibly conduct NULL pointer dereference attacks via a crafted assembly-language application.
5 CVE-2010-4258 264 +Priv Bypass 2010-12-30 2012-03-19
6.2
Admin Local High Not required Complete Complete Complete
The do_exit function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2 does not properly handle a KERNEL_DS get_fs value, which allows local users to bypass intended access_ok restrictions, overwrite arbitrary kernel memory locations, and gain privileges by leveraging a (1) BUG, (2) NULL pointer dereference, or (3) page fault, as demonstrated by vectors involving the clear_child_tid feature and the splice system call.
6 CVE-2010-3850 264 Bypass 2010-12-30 2012-03-19
4.9
None Local Low Not required None Complete None
The ec_dev_ioctl function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and configure econet addresses via an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl call.
7 CVE-2010-2946 20 Bypass 2010-09-29 2012-03-19
2.1
None Local Low Not required None Partial None
fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35.2 does not properly handle a certain legacy format for storage of extended attributes, which might allow local users by bypass intended xattr namespace restrictions via an "os2." substring at the beginning of a name.
8 CVE-2010-2071 264 Bypass 2010-06-16 2012-03-19
4.6
None Local Low Not required Partial Partial Partial
The btrfs_xattr_set_acl function in fs/btrfs/acl.c in btrfs in the Linux kernel 2.6.34 and earlier does not check file ownership before setting an ACL, which allows local users to bypass file permissions by setting arbitrary ACLs, as demonstrated using setfacl.
9 CVE-2009-3725 264 +Priv Bypass 2009-11-06 2012-03-19
7.2
None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
The connector layer in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31.5 does not require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for certain interaction with the (1) uvesafb, (2) pohmelfs, (3) dst, or (4) dm subsystem, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and gain privileges via calls to functions in these subsystems.
10 CVE-2009-2846 264 Bypass 2009-08-18 2012-03-19
7.8
None Remote Low Not required Complete None None
The eisa_eeprom_read function in the parisc isa-eeprom component (drivers/parisc/eisa_eeprom.c) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc6 allows local users to access restricted memory via a negative ppos argument, which bypasses a check that assumes that ppos is positive and causes an out-of-bounds read in the readb function.
11 CVE-2009-1895 16 Bypass 2009-07-16 2012-03-19
7.2
None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
The personality subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc3 has a PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID setting that does not clear the ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT and MMAP_PAGE_ZERO flags when executing a setuid or setgid program, which makes it easier for local users to leverage the details of memory usage to (1) conduct NULL pointer dereference attacks, (2) bypass the mmap_min_addr protection mechanism, or (3) defeat address space layout randomization (ASLR).
12 CVE-2009-1630 264 Bypass 2009-05-14 2012-04-12
4.4
None Local Medium Not required Partial Partial Partial
The nfs_permission function in fs/nfs/dir.c in the NFS client implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.29.3 and earlier, when atomic_open is available, does not check execute (aka EXEC or MAY_EXEC) permission bits, which allows local users to bypass permissions and execute files, as demonstrated by files on an NFSv4 fileserver.
13 CVE-2009-1184 16 Bypass 2009-05-05 2012-03-19
4.4
None Local Medium Not required Partial Partial Partial
The selinux_ip_postroute_iptables_compat function in security/selinux/hooks.c in the SELinux subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.22, and 2.6.28.x before 2.6.28.10, when compat_net is enabled, omits calls to avc_has_perm for the (1) node and (2) port, which allows local users to bypass intended restrictions on network traffic. NOTE: this was incorrectly reported as an issue fixed in 2.6.27.21.
14 CVE-2009-0834 264 Bypass 2009-03-06 2012-03-19
3.6
None Local Low Not required Partial Partial None
The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x86_64 platform does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls, a related issue to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343.
15 CVE-2008-1294 399 Bypass 2008-05-02 2010-08-21
2.1
None Local Low Not required None None Partial
Linux kernel 2.6.17, and other versions before 2.6.22, does not check when a user attempts to set RLIMIT_CPU to 0 until after the change is made, which allows local users to bypass intended resource limits.
16 CVE-2008-0001 Bypass 2008-01-15 2012-03-19
3.6
None Local Low Not required None Partial Partial
VFS in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.16, and 2.6.23.x before 2.6.23.14, performs tests of access mode by using the flag variable instead of the acc_mode variable, which might allow local users to bypass intended permissions and remove directories.
