NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ofa-2.6.32-200.19.1.el6uekdebug package and not the ofa-2.6.32-200.19.1.el6uekdebug package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.4 does not properly restrict access to /proc/#####/io files, which allows local users to obtain sensitive I/O statistics by polling a file, as demonstrated by discovering the length of another user's password.
