NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dtrace-modules-4.1.12-61.1.27.el6uek package and not the dtrace-modules-4.1.12-61.1.27.el6uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The proc_connectinfo function in drivers/usb/core/devio.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted USBDEVFS_CONNECTINFO ioctl call.
