| Description: | The crypto_report_one function in crypto/crypto_user.c in the report API in the crypto user configuration API in the Linux kernel through 3.8.2 uses an incorrect length value during a copy operation, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. Mathias Krause discovered information leaks in the Linux kernel's crypto algorithm report API. A local user could exploit these flaws to leak kernel stack and heap memory contents.
