Descriptions
The rds_inc_info_copy function in net/rds/recv.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading an RDS message.
La función rds_inc_info_copy en net/rds/recv.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.6.3 no inicializa un cierto miembro de estructura, lo que permite a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible de la memoria de pila del kernel leyendo un mensaje RDS.
Kangjie Lu discovered an information leak in the Reliable Datagram Sockets implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory. Yue Cao et al discovered a flaw in the TCP implementation's handling of challenge acks in the Linux kernel. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or inject content into an TCP stream. Various other issues were also addressed.
