NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mlnx_en-2.6.32-300.32.3.el6uek package and not the mlnx_en-2.6.32-300.32.3.el6uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The rds_recvmsg function in net/rds/recv.c in the Linux kernel before 3.0.44 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a (1) recvfrom or (2) recvmsg system call on an RDS socket.
