Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2010-11-29 16:00 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:24
Severity
Summary
The ntty_ioctl_tiocgicount function in drivers/char/nozomi.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.36.1 and earlier does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call.
