Linux » Linux Kernel » 2.4.20 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2003 (Denial of service)

Integer signedness error in the Linux Socket Filter implementation (filter.c) in Linux 2.4.3-pre3 to 2.4.22-pre10 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).

Integer signedness error in the decode_fh function of nfs3xdr.c in Linux kernel before 2.4.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a negative size value within XDR data of an NFSv3 procedure call.

Unknown vulnerability in ip_nat_sack_adjust of Netfilter in Linux kernels 2.4.20, and some 2.5.x, when CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_FTP or CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_IRC is enabled, or the ip_nat_ftp or ip_nat_irc modules are loaded, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) in systems using NAT, possibly due to an integer signedness error.

A race condition in the way env_start and env_end pointers are initialized in the execve system call and used in fs/proc/base.c on Linux 2.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash).

The connection tracking core of Netfilter for Linux 2.4.20, with CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK enabled or the ip_conntrack module loaded, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) due to an inconsistency with Linux 2.4.20's support of linked lists, which causes Netfilter to fail to identify connections with an UNCONFIRMED status and use large timeouts.
