DISPUTED The ipv6_getsockopt_sticky function in the kernel in Red
Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Beta 5.1.0 allows local users to obtain
sensitive information (kernel memory contents) via a negative value of the
len parameter. NOTE: this issue has been disputed in a bug comment,
stating that “len is ignored when copying header info to the user’s
buffer.”
