Descriptions

The osf_getsysinfo function in arch/alpha/kernel/osf_sys.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.4 on the Alpha platform does not properly restrict the data size for GSI_GET_HWRPB operations, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted call.

La función osf_getsysinfo de arch/alpha/kernel/osf_sys.c del kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 2.6.39.4 de la plataforma Alpha no restringe apropiadamente el tamaño de datos de las operaciones GSI_GET_HWRPB, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información confidencial de la memoria del kernel a través de una llamada modificada.
