Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.36
Description
The issue allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel heap memory. This is possible by leveraging the CAP NET ADMIN capability for an ethtool ioctl call, due to the failure to initialize certain data structures in net/core/ethtool.c.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.36, update to version 2.6.36 or later to resolve the issue.
