The do_sigaltstack function in kernel/signal.c in Linux kernel 2.4 through
2.4.37 and 2.6 before 2.6.31-rc5, when running on 64-bit systems, does not
clear certain padding bytes from a structure, which allows local users to
obtain sensitive information from the kernel stack via the sigaltstack
function.
