CVE-2006-1342: Linux Kernel

Low severity, CVSS 2.1. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

net/ipv4/af_inet.c in Linux kernel 2.4 does not clear sockaddr_in.sin_zero before returning IPv4 socket names from the (1) getsockname, (2) getpeername, and (3) accept functions, which allows local users to obtain portions of potentially sensitive memory.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: version 2.4.0 only
