| Revision Date: | 2016-06-27 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2016-5244 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty) - medium. | | Description: | 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. Kangjie Lu discovered an information leak in the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory.
