Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2010:0771 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: kernel-rt security and bug fix update 2010-10-14 15:30:14 UTC

Description Eugene Teo (Security Response) 2010-09-13 04:03:21 UTC
Description of problem:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/11/168
The EQL_GETMASTRCFG device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 16 bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the "master_name" member of the master_config_t struct declared on the stack in eql_g_master_cfg() is not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user.
