linux vserver 2.6 before 2.6.17 suffers from privilege escalation in remount code.

vserver in util-vserver 0.30.209 executes a command as root when the suexec userid parameter is invalid and non-numeric, which might cause local users to inadvertently execute dangerous commands as root.

util-vserver before 0.30.208-1 with kernel-patch-vserver before 1.9.5.5 and 2.x before 2.3 for Debian GNU/Linux sets a default policy that trusts unknown capabilities, which could allow local users to conduct unauthorized activities.

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 VServer 1.27 and earlier, 1.3.9 and earlier, and 1.9.1 and earlier shares /proc permissions across all virtual and host servers, which allows local users with the ability to set permissions in /proc to obtain system information or cause a denial of service on other virtual servers or the host server.

Unspecified vulnerability in procfs in the Linux-VServer stable branch for the 2.4 kernel before 1.23 and Linux-VServer development branch for the 2.4 kernel before 1.3.5 has unspecified impact and attack vectors, related to "write access to specific proc entries from a vserver context", a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-2408.

Multiple race conditions in Linux-VServer 1.22 with Linux kernel 2.4.23 and SMP allow local users to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via unknown attack vectors related to the (1) s_info and (2) ip_info data structures and the (a) forget_original_parent, (b) goodness, (c) schedule, (d) update_process_times, and (e) vc_new_s_context functions.
