CVE-2014-1446

Linux Kernel < 3.12.8 - Information Disclosure via SIOCYAMGCFG ioctl

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The yam_ioctl function in drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an SIOCYAMGCFG ioctl call.
