Candidate: CVE-2006-5174
References:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=52149ba6b0ddf3e9d965257cc0513193650b3ea8
Description:
The copy_from_user function in the uaccess code in Linux kernel 2.6
before 2.6.19-rc1, when running on s390, does not properly clear a
kernel buffer, which allows local user space programs to read
portions of kernel memory by "appending to a file from a bad
address," which triggers a fault that prevents the unused memory from
being cleared in the kernel buffer.
