CVE-2009-2910 at MITRE

Description

arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31.4 on the x86_64 platform does not clear certain kernel registers before a return to user mode, which allows local users to read register values from an earlier process by switching an ia32 process to 64-bit mode.

NVD CVSS v2 Base Score: 4.9 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N)
