kernel: drivers/sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

The sndhdsphwdepioctl function in sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc6 does not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an SNDRVHDSPIOCTLGETCONFIGINFO ioctl call...

kernel: ipc/compat*.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

The ipc subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc1 does not initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via vectors related to the 1 compatsyssemctl, 2 compatsysmsgctl, and 3 compatsysshmctl functions in...

kernel: mm: mem allocated invisible to oom_kill() when not attached to any threads

fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not enable the OOM Killer to assess use of stack memory by arrays representing the 1 arguments and 2 environment, which allows local users to cause a denial of service memory consumption via a crafted exec system call, aka an "OOM dodging issue," a...

kernel: xfs: XFS_IOC_FSGETXATTR ioctl memory leak

The xfsiocfsgetxattr function in fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfsioctl.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc4 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an ioctl call...

kernel: drivers/serial/serial_core.c: reading uninitialized stack memory

The uartgetcount function in drivers/serial/serialcore.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc1 does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call...
