Candidate: CVE-2009-0676
Description:
 The sock_getsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel
 before 2.6.28.6 does not initialize a certain structure member, which
 allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from
 kernel memory via an SO_BSDCOMPAT getsockopt request.
