CVE-2011-0463
Last modified
CVE-2011-0463 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The ocfs2_prepare_page_for_write function in fs/ocfs2/aops.c in the Oracle Cluster File System 2 (OCFS2) subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39-rc1 does not properly handle holes that cross page boundaries, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from uninitialized disk locations by reading a file.. EPSS estimates a 0.52% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
