Descriptions

The setlogin function in FreeBSD 8.4 through 10.1-RC4 does not initialize the buffer used to store the login name, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a call to getlogin, which returns the entire buffer.

La función setlogin en FreeBSD 8.4 hasta 10.1-RC4 no inicializa el buffer usado para guardar el nombre del login, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible desde la memoria del kernel a través de una llamada a getlogin, lo que devuelve el buffer entero.
