drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c in the Graphics Execution Manager (GEM) in the Intel i915 driver in the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not properly validate pointers to blocks of memory, which allows local users to write to arbitrary kernel memory locations, and consequently gain privileges, via crafted use of the ioctl interface, related to (1) pwrite and (2) pread operations.

Title: Linux kernel (OMAP4) vulnerabilities
Summary: Multiple security flaws have been fixed in the OMAP4 port of the Linux kernel.
Dan Rosenberg discovered that the RDS network protocol did not correctly
check certain parameters. A local attacker could exploit this gain root
privileges. (CVE-2010-3904)
Nelson Elhage discovered several problems with the Acorn Econet protocol
driver. A local user could cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer
dereference, escalate privileges by overflowing the kernel stack, and
assign Econet addresses to arbitrary interfaces. (CVE-2010-3848,
