Upgrade Oracle:5 kernel-uek-debug to version 0:2.6.32-100.28.11.el5 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2011-2014.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-debug package and not the kernel-uek-debug package as distributed by Oracle.
See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.
net/core/ethtool.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not initialize certain data structures, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel heap memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an ethtool ioctl call.
