Description:
A security issue has been reported in the Linux Kernel, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to an error in the implementation of the "sigaltstack()" function and can be exploited to disclose a limited amount of kernel stack memory.
Successful exploitation may require that the kernel is running on a 64-bit platform.
