CVE-2010-3477

The CVE-2010-3477 issue affects the Linux kernel’s net/sched/act_police.c (tcf_act_police_dump) in versions before 2.6.36-rc4. The root cause is incomplete initialization of certain structure members during dump operations, allowing local users to read potentially sensitive kernel memory. The vul...

CVE-2010-2942

The actions implementation in the network queueing functionality in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc2 does not properly initialize certain structure members when performing dump operations, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory via vectors relate...
