Information disclosure vulnerability in kernel during context switchID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:24748 | Date: (C)2015-06-08 (M)2024-02-19 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
The host is installed with kernel on RHEL 6 or 7 and is prone to an information disclosure vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to properly handle certain segment registers and thread-local storage (TLS) during a context switch. Successful exploitation could allow unprivileged user to leak the user space TLS base address of an arbitrary process.
