Descriptions
The hso_get_count function in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc5 does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call.
La función hso_get_count en drivers/net/usb/hso.c en el kernel Linux anterior a la versión 2.6.36-rc5, no inicia adecuadamente un miembro de cierta estructura, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información potencialmente sensible de la pila de memoria del kernel mediante una llamada ioctl TIOCGICOUNT.
USN-1074-1 fixed vulnerabilities in linux-fsl-imx51 in Ubuntu 9.10. This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu 10.04. Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered and addressed in the Linux kernel. Al Viro discovered a race condition in the TTY driver.
