Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2013-12-12 17:25:43 UTC 
CVE-2013-4515 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-4515):
  The bcm_char_ioctl function in drivers/staging/bcm/Bcmchar.c in the Linux
  kernel before 3.12 does not initialize a certain data structure, which
  allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via an
  IOCTL_BCM_GET_DEVICE_DRIVER_INFO ioctl call.
