Description Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-23 02:08:45 UTC 
In Ubuntu's USN-219-1:

Paolo Giarrusso discovered an information leak in the
sys_get_thread_area().  The returned structure was not properly
cleared, which exposed a small amount of kernel memory to userspace
programs. This could possibly expose confidential data.
(CVE-2005-3276)
