The xfs_fs_geometry function in fs/xfs/xfs_fsops.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38-rc6-git3 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an FSGEOMETRY_V1 ioctl call.

CVE-2011-1171 [LOW] Linux kernel (OMAP4) vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel (OMAP4) vulnerabilities
Summary: Multiple kernel flaws have been fixed.
Dan Rosenberg discovered that several network ioctls did not clear kernel
memory correctly. A local user could exploit this to read kernel stack
memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-3296, CVE-2010-3297)
Brad Spengler discovered that stack memory for new a process was not
correctly calculated. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the
system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3858)
Dan Rosenberg discovered that the Linux kernel TIPC implementation
contained multiple integer signedness errors. A local attacker could
exploit this to gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-3859)

CVE-2011-0711 [LOW] kernel: xfs: prevent leaking uninitialized stack memory in FSGEOMETRY_V1
kernel: xfs: prevent leaking uninitialized stack memory in FSGEOMETRY_V1
The xfs_fs_geometry function in fs/xfs/xfs_fsops.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38-rc6-git3 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an FSGEOMETRY_V1 ioctl call.
Statement: This issue did not affect the version of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 as it did not have support for the XFS file system. This has been addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and Red Hat Enterprise
MRG via https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0927.html, https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0498.html, and https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0500.html.
