Created:September 26, 2005 Updated:September 28, 2005
Description: A Denial of Service vulnerability was detected in the stack segment fault handler. A local attacker could exploit this by causing stack fault exceptions under special circumstances (scheduling), which lead to a kernel crash. (CAN-2005-1767)

Vasiliy Averin discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the "tiocgdev" ioctl call and in the "routing_ioctl" function. By calling fget() and fput() in special ways, a local attacker could exploit this to destroy file descriptor structures and crash the kernel. (CAN-2005-3044)
