Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions through 6.6.5
Description The issue is related to the sec attest info function in the Linux kernel, which allows an information leak to user space because info->pad0 is not initialized. This can potentially allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information.
Recommendations For Linux kernel versions through 6.6.5, consider updating to a version that includes the necessary fix for the sec attest info function to prevent information leaks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the sec attest info function until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
