| Title: | Linux Kernel execve Race Condition Vulnerability | ||
| Description: | 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). | ||
| Family: | unix | Class: | vulnerability |
| Reference(s): | CVE-2003-0462 | Version: | 2 |
| Platform(s): | Red Hat Linux 9 | Product(s): | Linux kernel |
| Definition Synopsis: | |||
| Definition Id: oval:org.mitre.oval:def:328 | |||
| Oval ID: | oval:org.mitre.oval:def:328 | ||
| Title: | Linux Kernel /proc/self setuid Vulnerability | ||
| Description: | The /proc filesystem in Linux allows local users to obtain sensitive information by opening various entries in /proc/self before executing a setuid program, which causes the program to fail to change the ownership and permissions of those entries. | ||
| Family: | unix | Class: | vulnerability |
| Reference(s): | CVE-2003-0501 | Version: | 2 |
| Platform(s): | Red Hat Linux 9 | Product(s): | Linux kernel |
| Definition Synopsis: | |||

| Oval ID: | oval:org.mitre.oval:def:380 | ||
| Title: | Insecure Design of the STP Protocol | ||
| Description: | The STP protocol, as enabled in Linux 2.4.x, does not provide sufficient security by design, which allows attackers to modify the bridge topology. | ||
| Family: | unix | Class: | vulnerability |
| Reference(s): | CVE-2003-0550 | Version: | 2 |
| Platform(s): | Red Hat Linux 9 | Product(s): | Linux kernel |
| Definition Synopsis: | |||
| Definition Id: oval:org.mitre.oval:def:384 | |||
| Oval ID: | oval:org.mitre.oval:def:384 | ||
| Title: | STP Protocol Length Verification Vulnerability | ||
| Description: | The STP protocol implementation in Linux 2.4.x does not properly verify certain lengths, which could allow attackers to cause a denial of service. | ||
| Family: | unix | Class: | vulnerability |
| Reference(s): | CVE-2003-0551 | Version: | 2 |
| Platform(s): | Red Hat Linux 9 | Product(s): | Linux kernel |
| Definition Synopsis: | |||
| Definition Id: oval:org.mitre.oval:def:385 | |||
| Oval ID: | oval:org.mitre.oval:def:385 | ||
| Title: | Linux Kernel Bridge Forwarding Table Spoof Vulnerability | ||
| Description: | Linux 2.4.x allows remote attackers to spoof the bridge Forwarding table via forged packets whose source addresses are the same as the target. | ||
| Family: | unix | Class: | vulnerability |
| Reference(s): | CVE-2003-0552 | Version: | 2 |
| Platform(s): | Red Hat Linux 9 | Product(s): | Linux kernel |
| Definition Synopsis: | |||
| Definition Id: oval:org.mitre.oval:def:386 | |||
| Oval ID: | oval:org.mitre.oval:def:386 | ||
| Title: | Lunix Kernel NFSv3 Procedure Kernel Panic Vulnerability | ||
| Description: | 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. | ||
| Family: | unix | Class: | vulnerability |
| Reference(s): | CVE-2003-0619 | Version: | 2 |
| Platform(s): | Red Hat Linux 9 | Product(s): | Linux kernel |
| Definition Synopsis: | |||
| Definition Id: oval:org.mitre.oval:def:387 | |||
| Oval ID: | oval:org.mitre.oval:def:387 | ||
| Title: | C-Media Sound Driver Userspace Access Vulnerability II | ||
| Description: | The C-Media PCI sound driver in Linux before 2.4.21 does not use the get_user function to access userspace, which crosses security boundaries and may facilitate the exploitation of vulnerabilities, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0700. | ||
| Family: | unix | Class: | vulnerability |
| Reference(s): | CVE-2003-0699 | Version: | 2 |
| Platform(s): | Red Hat Linux 9 | Product(s): | Linux kernel |
