Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Linux Kernel, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially sensitive information, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), and gain escalated privileges, and by malicious people to cause a DoS.
1) A vulnerability is caused due to a memory leak when handling certain AppleTalk-IP datagrams.
For more information:
SA36707
2) NULL pointer dereference errors exist within certain r128 IOCTL handlers when the CCE state is not properly initialised.
For more information:
SA36707
3) A locking error exists within the "pipe_rdwr_open()", "pipe_write_open()", and "pipe_read_open()" functions in fs/pipe.c.
For more information:
SA37233
4) The "tcf_fill_node()" function in net/sched/cls_api.c does not properly clear the "tcm__pad2" structure member before returning it to userspace, which can be exploited to disclose kernel memory.
For more information:
SA37086
5) A deadlock within the "unix_stream_connect()" function in net/unix/af_unix.c can be exploited to cause a DoS by performing certain socket operations.
