Upstream information

CVE-2013-2148 at MITRE

Description

The fill_event_metadata function in fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c in the Linux kernel through 3.9.4 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a read operation on the fanotify descriptor.

Note from the SUSE Security Team

This issue was introduced in Linux Kernel 2.6.32, it does not affect SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 or older products.

Note from the SUSE Security Team on the kernel-default package

SUSE will no longer fix all CVEs in the Linux Kernel anymore, but declare some bug classes as won't fix. Please refer to TID 21496 for more details.

Note from the SUSE Security Team on the xen package

This issue likely only affects the XEN hypervisor itself, unless otherwise stated. The userland utilities in -tools and libraries in -libs are shipped together with the xen hypervisor as they are built from one source and do not contain hypervisor specific fixes.

SUSE Bugzilla entry: 823517 [RESOLVED / FIXED]
