Descriptions

The tpm_open function in drivers/char/tpm/tpm.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not initialize a certain buffer, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory via unspecified vectors.

La función de tpm_open en drivers/char/tpm/tpm.c en el kernel de Linux anteriores a v2.6.39 no se inicializa un búfer concreto, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible de la memoria del kernel a través de vectores no especificados.
