NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug package and not the kernel-debug package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/tcp_ao: Don't leak ao_info on error-path

It seems I introduced it together with TCP_AO_CMDF_AO_REQUIRED, on version 5 1 of TCP-AO patches. Quite frustrative that having all these selftests that I've written, running kmemtest & kcov was always in todo.
