CVE-2014-1445 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-1445):

The wanxl_ioctl function in drivers/net/wan/wanxl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11.7 does not properly 
initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel 
memory via an ioctl call.
