- CVEs with nessus.description==Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
- CVE-2011-4086 Eric Sandeen reported an issue in the journaling layer for ext4 filesystems (jbd2). Local users can cause buffers to be accessed after they have been torn down, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) due to a system crash.
- CVE-2012-0879 Louis Rilling reported two reference counting issues in the CLONE_IO feature of the kernel. Local users can prevent io context structures from being freed, resulting in a denial of service.
- CVE-2012-1601 Michael Ellerman reported an issue in the KVM subsystem.
Local users could cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) by creating VCPUs before a call to KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP.
- CVE-2012-2123 Steve Grubb reported an issue in fcaps, a filesystem-based capabilities system. Personality flags set using this mechanism, such as the disabling of address space randomization, may persist across suid calls.
- CVE-2012-2133 Shachar Raindel discovered a use-after-free bug in the hugepages quota implementation. Local users with permission to use hugepages via the hugetlbfs implementation may be able to cause a denial of service (system crash).
