Candidate: CVE-2005-3181 References: URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=CVE-2005-3181 CONFIRM: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=829841146878e082613a49581ae252c071057c23 Description: Linux kernel before 2.6.13.4, when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is enabled, uses an incorrect function to free names_cache memory, which prevents the memory from being tracked by AUDITSYSCALL code and leads to a memory leak that allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption). Notes: 2.4 isn't vulnerable because AUDITSYSCALL doesn't exist in 2.4 Bugs: upstream: released (2.6.13.4) 2.6.8-sarge-security: released (2.6.8-16sarge2) 2.4.27-sarge-security: N/A 2.4.27-sarge/sid: N/A linux-2.6: released (2.6.13+2.6.14-rc4-0experimental.1) 2.4.19-woody-security: 2.4.18-woody-security: 2.4.17-woody-security: 2.4.16-woody-security: 2.4.17-woody-security-hppa: 2.4.17-woody-security-ia64: 2.4.18-woody-security-hppa:
