Software suspend 2 2-2.2.1, when used with the Linux kernel 2.6.16, stores
pre-boot authentication passwords in the BIOS Keyboard buffer and does not
clear this buffer after use, which allows local users to obtain sensitive
information by reading the physical memory locations associated with this
buffer.
