Linux kernel 2.2.1 through 2.2.19, and 2.4.1 through 2.4.10, allows local users to cause a denial of service via a series of deeply nested symlinks, which causes the kernel to spe…

ptrace in Linux 2.2.x through 2.2.19, and 2.4.x through 2.4.9, allows local users to gain root privileges by running ptrace on a setuid or setgid program that itself calls an unpr…

IRC DCC helper in the ip_masq_irc IP masquerading module 2.2 allows remote attackers to bypass intended firewall restrictions by causing the target system to send a "DCC SEND" req…

Multiple TCP implementations could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bandwidth and CPU exhaustion) by setting the maximum segment size (MSS) to a very small num…

ip_conntrack_ftp in the IPTables firewall for Linux 2.4 allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions for an FTP server via a PORT command that lists an arbitrary IP addre…

Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.2 allows local users to read kernel memory and possibly gain privileges via a negative argument to the sysctl call.

Race condition in ptrace in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.2 allows local users to gain privileges by using ptrace to track and modify a running setuid process.

Unknown vulnerability in binfmt_misc in the Linux kernel before 2.2.19, related to user pages.

Off-by-one vulnerability in CPIA driver of Linux kernel before 2.2.19 allows users to modify kernel memory.

The System V (SYS5) shared memory implementation for Linux kernel before 2.2.19 could allow attackers to modify recently freed memory.

Masquerading code for Linux kernel before 2.2.19 does not fully check packet lengths in certain cases, which may lead to a vulnerability.

Unknown vulnerabilities in the UDP port allocation for Linux kernel before 2.2.19 could allow local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock).

The "mxcsr P4" vulnerability in the Linux kernel before 2.2.17-14, when running on certain Intel CPUs, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system halt).

The "capabilities" feature in Linux before 2.2.16 allows local users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by setting the capabilities to prevent a setuid program from d…
