Doc Text:
An information disclosure flaw exists in the ARM SIGPAGE functionality of the Linux kernel. An attacker with a local account can read the contents of the sigpage, which contains previously initialized kernel memory contents. This flaw requires an attacker to read a process’s memory at a specific offset to trigger this vulnerability.

Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2021-07-13 19:01:09 UTC 
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the ARM SIGPAGE functionality of Linux Kernel.  A userland application can read the contents of the sigpage (A page in which signal handler information is stored), which can leak kernel memory contents. A local attacker can read a process’s memory at a specific offset to read this information leak.
