NVD Description

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

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.
