kernel: block: floppy: privilege escalation via FDRAWCMD floppy ioctl command

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's floppy driver handled user space provided data in certain error code paths while processing FDRAWCMD IOCTL commands. A local user with write access to /dev/fdX could use this flaw to free using the kfree function arbitrary kernel memory. CVE-2014-173...

FreeBSD -- ktrace kernel memory disclosure

Problem Description: Due to an overlooked merge to -STABLE branches, the size for page fault kernel trace entries was set incorrectly. Impact: A user who can enable kernel process tracing could end up reading the contents of kernel memory. Such memory might contain sensitive information, such as...
