CVE-2014-1446
Last modified
CVE-2014-1446 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The yam_ioctl function in drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an SIOCYAMGCFG ioctl call.. EPSS estimates a 0.65% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
