CVE-2012-3552

La aplicación IP en el kernel de Linux antes de v3.0 podría permitir a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio mediante el envío de paquetes a una aplicación que configura las opciones de socket durante el manejo de tráfico de red.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. An integer overflow flaw was found in the i915_gem_do_execbuffer() function in the Intel i915 driver in the Linux kernel. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected 32-bit systems. A memory leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's memory subsystem handled resource clean up in the mmap() failure path when the MAP_HUGETLB flag was set. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.
