NVD Description

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

The get_rock_ridge_filename function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 mishandles NM (aka alternate name) entries containing \0 characters, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted isofs filesystem.
