NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ocfs2-2.6.18-348.18.1.0.1.el5debug package and not the ocfs2-2.6.18-348.18.1.0.1.el5debug package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The do_tkill function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted application that makes a (1) tkill or (2) tgkill system call.
