Description

The econet_sendmsg function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 on the x86_64 platform allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading uninitialized data in the ah field of an Acorn Universal Networking (AUN) packet.
