Description Prasad Pandit 2014-01-15 14:00:30 UTC

Linux kernel built with a driver for wanXL PCI cards by SBE Inc.(CONFIG_WANXL)
is vulnerable to an information leakage flaw. This could occur while doing an
ioctl(2) call.

A user/program could use this flaw to leak (two)kernel memory bytes.

Upstream fix:
