Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2014-02-13 15:34:19 UTC 
CVE-2014-1446 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-1446):
  The yam_ioctl function in drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c in the Linux kernel
  before 3.12.8 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows
  local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging
  the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an SIOCYAMGCFG ioctl call.
