CVE-2014-1446 Kernel: hamradio/yam: information leak in ioctl
Linux kernel built with the YAM modem driver for AX.25(CONFIG_YAM) is
vulnerable to an information leakage flaw. It could occur while doing an
ioctl(SIOCYAMGCFG) call.
A user/program with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges could use this flaw to leak (four)kernel memory bytes.
