CVE-2012-6544 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 3.5.7 - Information Disclosure
The Bluetooth protocol stack in the Linux kernel before 3.6 does not properly initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application that targets the (1) L2CAP or (2) HCI implementation.
CVE-2013-1979 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 3.8.10 - Access Control
The scm_set_cred function in include/net/scm.h in the Linux kernel before 3.8.11 uses incorrect uid and gid values during credentials passing, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application.
CVE-2013-2128 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 2.6.34 - Denial of Service
The tcp_read_sock function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 does not properly manage skb consumption, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted splice system call for a TCP socket.
CVSS 5.5
CVE-2013-3224 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux kernel <3.9-rc7 - Info Disclosure
The bt_sock_recvmsg function in net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not properly initialize a certain length variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.
CVE-2013-3226 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux kernel <3.9-rc7 - Info Disclosure
The sco_sock_recvmsg function in net/bluetooth/sco.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not initialize a certain length variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.
CVE-2013-4312 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Oracle Linux < 4.4 - Memory Corruption
The Linux kernel before 4.4.1 allows local users to bypass file-descriptor limits and cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by sending each descriptor over a UNIX socket before closing it, related to net/unix/af_unix.c and net/unix/garbage.c.
CVSS 6.2
CVE-2015-1465 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux kernel <3.18.8 - DoS
The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.18.8 does not properly consider the length of the Read-Copy Update (RCU) grace period for redirecting lookups in the absence of caching, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or system crash) via a flood of packets.
CVE-2015-5283 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux kernel <4.2.3 - DoS
The sctp_init function in net/sctp/protocol.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.3 has an incorrect sequence of protocol-initialization steps, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic or memory corruption) by creating SCTP sockets before all of the steps have finished.
CVE-2016-3156 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Novell Suse Linux Enterprise Software... - Resource Management Error
The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.5.2 mishandles destruction of device objects, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS networking outage) by arranging for a large number of IP addresses.
CVSS 5.5
CVE-2017-14106 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Linux kernel <4.12 - DoS
The tcp_disconnect function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service (__tcp_select_window divide-by-zero error and system crash) by triggering a disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path.
CVSS 5.5
CVE-2017-6348 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 4.9.12 - Denial of Service
The hashbin_delete function in net/irda/irqueue.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.13 improperly manages lock dropping, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted operations on IrDA devices.
CVSS 5.5
CVE-2017-6353 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 4.10 - Double Free
net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.1 does not properly restrict association peel-off operations during certain wait states, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double free) via a multithreaded application. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2017-5986.
CVSS 5.5
CVE-2017-7277 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Linux kernel <4.10.6 - Info Disclosure/DoS
The TCP stack in the Linux kernel through 4.10.6 mishandles the SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS feature, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from the kernel's internal socket data structures or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted system calls, related to net/core/skbuff.c and net/socket.c.
CVSS 7.1
CVE-2017-9075 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Linux kernel <4.11.1 - DoS
The sctp_v6_create_accept_sk function in net/sctp/ipv6.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 mishandles inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890.
CVSS 7.8
CVE-2018-20511 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 4.18.11 - Information Disclosure
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.11. The ipddp_ioctl function in drivers/net/appletalk/ipddp.c allows local users to obtain sensitive kernel address information by leveraging CAP_NET_ADMIN to read the ipddp_route dev and next fields via an SIOCFINDIPDDPRT ioctl call.
CVSS 5.5
CVE-2019-19079 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Linux Kernel <5.3 - DoS
A memory leak in the qrtr_tun_write_iter() function in net/qrtr/tun.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-a21b7f0cff19.
CVSS 7.5
CVE-2021-38209 WRITEUP LOW WRITEUP
Linux kernel <5.12.2 - Info Disclosure
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.2 allows observation of changes in any net namespace because these changes are leaked into all other net namespaces. This is related to the NF_SYSCTL_CT_MAX, NF_SYSCTL_CT_EXPECT_MAX, and NF_SYSCTL_CT_BUCKETS sysctls.
