CVE-2014-1444 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The fst_get_iface function in drivers/net/wan/farsync.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11.7 does not properly initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an SIOCWANDEV ioctl call.. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
