CVE-2009-1192: Medium severity linux kernel vulnerability

Q: What is the severity of CVE-2009-1192?

The severity of CVE-2009-1192 is categorized as moderate due to potential information leakage.

Q: How do I fix CVE-2009-1192?

To fix CVE-2009-1192, ensure you apply the relevant patches provided for affected Linux Kernel versions.

Q: Which versions of Linux Kernel are affected by CVE-2009-1192?

CVE-2009-1192 affects multiple Linux Kernel versions, including 2.6.16 to 2.6.30.

Q: What type of vulnerability is CVE-2009-1192?

CVE-2009-1192 is a memory corruption vulnerability that may lead to information leakage.

Q: Is CVE-2009-1192 a local or remote vulnerability?

CVE-2009-1192 is considered a local vulnerability that requires an attacker to have local access to exploit.

Published Apr 22, 2009

Updated

Description of problem: AGP pages might be mapped into userspace finally, so the pages should be set to zero before userspace can use it. Otherwise there is potential information leakage.

Upstream patch: http://git.kernel.org/linus/59de2bebabc5027f93df999d59cc65df591c3e6e

Other sources

The (1) agpgenericallocpage and (2) agpgenericallocpages functions in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the agp subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30-rc3 do not zero out pages that may later be available to a user-space process, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading these pages.
