| Revision Date: | 2015-08-31 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2015-5697 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - low. | | Description: | The get_bitmap_file function in drivers/md/md.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.6 does not initialize a certain bitmap data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl call. Benjamin Randazzo discovered an information leak in the md (multiple device) driver when the bitmap_info.file is disabled. A local privileged attacker could use this to obtain sensitive information from the kernel.
