Description
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the io_submit_one() function
in the Linux kernel asynchronous I/O implementation. A local, unprivileged
user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3066,
Moderate)
* A flaw was found in the xfs_ioc_fsgetxattr() function in the Linux kernel
XFS file system implementation. A data structure in xfs_ioc_fsgetxattr()
was not initialized properly before being copied to user-space. A local,
unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause an information leak.
(CVE-2010-3078, Moderate)
* The exception fixup code for the __futex_atomic_op1, __futex_atomic_op2,
and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() macros replaced the LOCK prefix with a
NOP instruction. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a
denial of service. (CVE-2010-3086, Moderate)
* A flaw was found in the tcf_act_police_dump() function in the Linux
kernel network traffic policing implementation. A data structure in
tcf_act_police_dump() was not initialized properly before being copied to
user-space. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause an
information leak. (CVE-2010-3477, Moderate)
* A missing upper bound integer check was found in the sys_io_submit()
function in the Linux kernel asynchronous I/O implementation. A local,
unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause an information leak.
