Descriptions

The copy_shmid_to_user function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc1 does not initialize a certain structure, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via vectors related to the shmctl system call and the "old shm interface."

La función copy_shmid_to_user de ipc/shm.c del kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 2.6.37-rc1 no inicializa una determinada estructura, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información potencialmente confidencial de la memoria de la pila a través de vectores de ataque relacionados con la llamada del sistema shmctl y el interfaz shm antigua.
