The memory resource controller (aka memcg) in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by spawning new processes within a memory-constrained cgroup.
The mincore function in the Linux kernel before 2.4.33.6 does not properly lock access to user space, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors, possibly related to a deadlock.
Race condition in the __find_get_block_slow function in the ISO9660 filesystem in Linux 2.6.18 and possibly other versions allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by mounting a crafted ISO9660 filesystem containing malformed data structures.
In the Linux kernel through 5.2.1 on the powerpc platform, when hardware transactional memory is disabled, a local user can cause a denial of service (TM Bad Thing exception and system crash) via a sigreturn() system call that sends a crafted signal frame. This affects arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c and arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c.
The tty_ldisc_hangup function in drivers/char/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.31-rc before 2.6.31-rc8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash, sometimes preceded by a NULL pointer dereference) or possibly gain privileges via certain pseudo-terminal I/O activity, as demonstrated by KernelTtyTest.c.
The fuse_direct_io function in fs/fuse/file.c in the fuse subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc7 might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and OOPS) via vectors possibly related to a memory-consumption attack.
The nfs4_proc_lock function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c in the NFSv4 client in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc4 allows remote NFS servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) by sending a certain response containing incorrect file attributes, which trigger attempted use of an open file that lacks NFSv4 state.
Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 22, JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17, SDK and JRE 1.3.x before 1.3.1_27, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_24 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted HTTP headers, which are not properly parsed by the ASN.1 DER input stream parser, aka Bug Id 6864911.
Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 22, JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17, SDK and JRE 1.3.x before 1.3.1_27, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_24 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted DER encoded data, which is not properly decoded by the ASN.1 DER input stream parser, aka Bug Id 6864911.
The hypervisor_callback function in Xen, possibly before 3.4.0, as applied to the Linux kernel 2.6.30-rc4, 2.6.18, and probably other versions allows guest user applications to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) of the guest OS by triggering a segmentation fault in "certain address ranges."
drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.13, and 2.6.28.x before 2.6.28.2, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a read system call that specifies zero bytes from the (1) image_type or (2) packet_size file in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/.
Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Solaris 10 on SPARC sun4v systems, and OpenSolaris snv_47 through snv_85, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang of UFS filesystem write) via unknown vectors related to the (1) ufs_getpage and (2) ufs_putapage routines, aka CR 6425723.
The NFSv4 Server module in the kernel in Sun Solaris 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_111, allow local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and system hang) by accessing an hsfs filesystem that is shared through NFSv4, related to the rfs4_op_readdir function.
Unspecified vulnerability in the UFS module in Sun Solaris 8 through 10 and OpenSolaris allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic) via unknown vectors related to the Solaris Access Control List (ACL) implementation.
Unspecified vulnerability in the pthread_mutex_reltimedlock_np API in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_90 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang or panic) via unknown vectors.
mm/mmap.c in the hugetlb kernel, when run on PowerPC systems, does not prevent stack expansion from entering into reserved kernel page memory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via unspecified vectors.
Unspecified vulnerability in Sun OpenSolaris snv_39 through snv_45, when running in 64-bit mode on x86 architectures, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang of UFS filesystem write) via unknown vectors related to the (1) ufs_getpage and (2) ufs_putapage routines, aka CR 6442712.
