Information Leakage

The kernel packages is vulnerable to an information leakage. A flaw was found in the printfatalsignal implementation in the Linux kernel. When "/proc/sys/kernel/print-fatal-signals" is set to 1 the default value is 0, memory that is reachable by the kernel could be leaked to user-space. This issu...
