Description: | The mp_get_count function in drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. Nico Golde and Fabian Yamaguchi reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's driver for the SystemBase Multi-2/PCI serial card. An unprivileged user could obtain sensitive information from kernel memory.
