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.

CVE-2009-3726 [MEDIUM] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
It was discovered that the AX.25 network subsystem did not correctly
check integer signedness in certain setsockopt calls. A local attacker
could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service.
Ubuntu 9.10 was not affected. (CVE-2009-2909)
Jan Beulich discovered that the kernel could leak register contents to
32-bit processes that were switched to 64-bit mode. A local attacker
could run a specially crafted binary to read register values from an
earlier process, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2009-2910)
Dave Jones discovered that the gdth SCSI driver did not correctly validate
array indexes in certain ioctl calls. A local attacker could exploit
this to crash the system or gain elevated privil
