CVE-2016-6130

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.6

Description The issue is related to a race condition in the sclp ctl ioctl sccb function, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory. This is achieved by changing a certain length value, also known as a "double fetch" vulnerability.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.6, update to version 4.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the sclp ctl ioctl sccb function until a patch is available.
