Integer overflow in sys_epoll_wait in eventpoll.c for Linux kernel 2.6 to 2.6.11 allows local users to overwrite kernel memory via a large number of events.

Multiple integer signedness errors in the sg_scsi_ioctl function in scsi_ioctl.c for Linux 2.6.x allow local users to read or modify kernel memory via negative integers in arguments to the scsi ioctl, which bypass a maximum length check before calling the copy_from_user and copy_to_user functions.

Race condition in the setsid function in Linux before 2.6.8.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly access portions of kernel memory, related to TTY changes, locking, and semaphores.

Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) and bypass RLIM_MEMLOCK limits via the mlockall call.

Some futex functions in futex.c for Linux kernel 2.6.x perform get_user calls while holding the mmap_sem semaphore, which could allow local users to cause a deadlock condition in do_page_fault by triggering get_user faults while another thread is executing mmap or other functions.

cryptoloop on Linux kernel 2.6.x, when used on certain file systems with a block size 1024 or greater, has certain "IV computation" weaknesses that allow watermarked files to be detected without decryption.
