CVE-2012-0957 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux kernel <3.4.16 - Info Disclosure
The override_release function in kernel/sys.c in the Linux kernel before 3.4.16 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a uname system call in conjunction with a UNAME26 personality.
CVE-2012-4530 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux kernel <3.7.2 - Info Disclosure
The load_script function in fs/binfmt_script.c in the Linux kernel before 3.7.2 does not properly handle recursion, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application.
CVE-2014-3153 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Linux Kernel <=3.14.5 - Privilege Escalation
The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted FUTEX_REQUEUE command that facilitates unsafe waiter modification.
CVSS 7.8
CVE-2013-0914 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux kernel <3.8.4 - Privilege Escalation
The flush_signal_handlers function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.4 preserves the value of the sa_restorer field across an exec operation, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application containing a sigaction system call.
CVE-2013-1928 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 3.6.5 - Information Disclosure via VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE ioctl
The do_video_set_spu_palette function in fs/compat_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.6.5 on unspecified architectures lacks a certain error check, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE ioctl call on a /dev/dvb device.
CVE-2013-1929 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 3.8.6 - Heap-Based Buffer Overflow in tg3_read_vpd Function
Heap-based buffer overflow in the tg3_read_vpd function in drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.6 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted firmware that specifies a long string in the Vital Product Data (VPD) data structure.
CVE-2013-2141 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 3.8.9 - Information Disclosure via Uninitialized Data Structure in do_tkill
The do_tkill function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted application that makes a (1) tkill or (2) tgkill system call.
CVE-2013-2850 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux kernel <3.9.4 - Buffer Overflow
Heap-based buffer overflow in the iscsi_add_notunderstood_response function in drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_parameters.c in the iSCSI target subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.9.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and OOPS) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long key that is not properly handled during construction of an error-response packet.
CVE-2013-2929 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux kernel <3.12.2 - Info Disclosure
The Linux kernel before 3.12.2 does not properly use the get_dumpable function, which allows local users to bypass intended ptrace restrictions or obtain sensitive information from IA64 scratch registers via a crafted application, related to kernel/ptrace.c and arch/ia64/include/asm/processor.h.
CVE-2015-1593 WRITEUP WRITEUP
Linux kernel <3.19.1 - Info Disclosure
The stack randomization feature in the Linux kernel before 3.19.1 on 64-bit platforms uses incorrect data types for the results of bitwise left-shift operations, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by predicting the address of the top of the stack, related to the randomize_stack_top function in fs/binfmt_elf.c and the stack_maxrandom_size function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c.
CVE-2017-7889 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Linux Kernel <= 3.2 - Unprotected Kernel Memory Access via /dev/mem
The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.2 does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM protection mechanism, which allows local users to read or write to kernel memory locations in the first megabyte (and bypass slab-allocation access restrictions) via an application that opens the /dev/mem file, related to arch/x86/mm/init.c and drivers/char/mem.c.
CVSS 7.8
CVE-2018-13406 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 4.17.4 - Integer Overflow in uvesafb_setcmap
An integer overflow in the uvesafb_setcmap function in drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c in the Linux kernel before 4.17.4 could result in local attackers being able to crash the kernel or potentially elevate privileges because kmalloc_array is not used.
CVSS 7.8
EIP-2026-103967 EXPLOITDB php WORKING POC
libxml2 2.6.x - 'XMLWriter::writeAttribute()' Memory Leak Information Disclosure
CVE-2010-2963 EXPLOITDB c WORKING POC
Linux Kernel <2.6.36 - Privilege Escalation
drivers/media/video/v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c in the Video4Linux (V4L) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 on 64-bit platforms does not validate the destination of a memory copy operation, which allows local users to write to arbitrary kernel memory locations, and consequently gain privileges, via a VIDIOCSTUNER ioctl call on a /dev/video device, followed by a VIDIOCSMICROCODE ioctl call on this device.
CVE-2013-2852 EXPLOITDB text WORKING POC
Linux kernel <3.9.4 - Privilege Escalation
Format string vulnerability in the b43_request_firmware function in drivers/net/wireless/b43/main.c in the Broadcom B43 wireless driver in the Linux kernel through 3.9.4 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging root access and including format string specifiers in an fwpostfix modprobe parameter, leading to improper construction of an error message.
CVE-2012-0957 EXPLOITDB c WORKING POC
Linux kernel <3.4.16 - Info Disclosure
The override_release function in kernel/sys.c in the Linux kernel before 3.4.16 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a uname system call in conjunction with a UNAME26 personality.
CVE-2014-0038 EXPLOITDB c WORKING POC
Linux Kernel recvmmsg Privilege Escalation
The compat_sys_recvmmsg function in net/compat.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.2, when CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled, allows local users to gain privileges via a recvmmsg system call with a crafted timeout pointer parameter.
