NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-vanilla-base package and not the kernel-vanilla-base package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

The acpi_ns_evaluate() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/nseval.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9 does not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a crafted ACPI table.
