kernel: IB/uverbs: Handle large number of entries in poll CQ

The ibuverbspollcq function in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbscmd.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not initialize a certain response buffer, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory via vectors that cause this buffer to be only partially fille...

kernel: ipv4: netfilter: arp_tables: fix infoleak to userspace

net/ipv4/netfilter/arptables.c in the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not place the expected '\0' character at the end of string data in the values of certain structure members, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory by...
