Last modified
CVE-2002-1571 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The linux 2.4 kernel before 2.4.19 assumes that the fninit instruction clears all registers, which could lead to an information leak on processors that do not clear all relevant SSE registers.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
