Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

Multiple ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) device drivers do not pad frames with null bytes, which allows remote attackers to obtain information from previous packets or kernel memory by using malformed packets, as demonstrated by Etherleak.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's repository.
