CVE-2010-3876

Published Jan 3, 2011 linux CWE-909

Overview

CVE-2010-3876 is a known-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on January 3, 2011.

Technical Description

net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc2 does not properly initialize certain structure members, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW capability to read copies of the applicable structures.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
