Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The Linux kernel contains a kernel-infoleak issue in the
do insn ioctl() and do insnlist ioctl() functions. A kernel buffer allocated to hold insn->n samples may not be fully initialized before data is copied to user space, leading to an information leak. This occurs when instruction handlers do not fill the entire insn->n samples, leaving uninitialized kernel data to be read by user space. Specific culprits include insn rw emulate bits() and vm80xx ai insn read().Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
