Integer overflow in the hpsb_alloc_packet function (incorrectly reported as alloc_hpsb_packet) in IEEE 1394 (Firewire) driver 2.4 and 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via the functions (1) raw1394_write, (2) state_connected, (3) handle_remote_request, or (4) hpsb_make_writebpacket.

The e1000 driver for Linux kernel 2.4.26 and earlier does not properly initialize memory before using it, which allows local users to read portions of kernel memory. NOTE: this issue was originally incorrectly reported as a "buffer overflow" by some sources.

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.
