CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:7 perf to version 0:4.14.35-1902.10.7.el7uek or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2020-5533.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The rds_inc_info_copy function in net/rds/recv.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading an RDS message.
