Last modified

CVE-2011-2210 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The osf_getsysinfo function in arch/alpha/kernel/osf_sys.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.4 on the Alpha platform does not properly restrict the data size for GSI_GET_HWRPB operations, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted call.. EPSS estimates a 0.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
