Description Prasad J Pandit 2013-03-16 03:55:19 EDT 
Linux kernel built with IP virtual server support(CONFIG_IP_VS), but without
support for TCP(IP_VS_PROTO_TCP) or UDP(IP_VS_PROTO_UDP) or both protocols,
is vulnerable to an information leakage flaw. It occurs during the getsockopt
call to retrieve time out value: getsockopt(IP_VS_SO_GET_TIMEOUT).

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