Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Linux Kernel 2.6.16.9 (Operating System). Affected by this vulnerability is the function xfs_ioc_fsgetxattr. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a resource management vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-399. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

The xfs_ioc_fsgetxattr function in fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc4 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an ioctl call.

The issue has been introduced in 03/20/2006. The weakness was presented 09/21/2010 by Dan Rosenberg as Bug 630804 as not defined bug report (Bugzilla). The advisory is shared at bugzilla.redhat.com.
