In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipack:
ipoctal: fix stack information leak The tty driver name is used also after
registering the driver and must specifically not be allocated on the stack
to avoid leaking information to user space (or triggering an oops). Drivers
should not try to encode topology information in the tty device name but
this one snuck in through staging without anyone noticing and another
driver has since copied this malpractice. Fixing the ABI is a separate
issue, but this at least plugs the security hole.
