Id Description
15115 Linux Kernel ext2 Directory Creation Arbitrary Memory Disclosure

The Linux kernel EXT2 filesystem contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The problem is that the 'ext2_make_empty()' function does not properly clear filesystem contents when creating a directory and the block written to store the '.' and '..' directory entries remains uninitialized. Up to 4,072 bytes of kernel memory may be leaked on each directory creation, which may allow a malicious user to disclose sensitive kernel memory contents resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
