CVE-2010-1083 (GCVE-0-2010-1083)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2010-04-06 22:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 01:14
VLAI?
Summary
The processcompl_compat function in drivers/usb/core/devio.c in Linux kernel 2.6.x through 2.6.32, and possibly other versions, does not clear the transfer buffer before returning to userspace when a USB command fails, which might make it easier for physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information (kernel memory).
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
