The kernel-rt package is vulnerable to Denial Of Service (DoS).Missing initialization flaws were found in getname() implementations in numerous network protocol implementations in the Linux kernel. Certain data structures in these getname() implementations were not initialized properly before being copied to user-space. These flaws could lead to an information leak.
