kernel is vulnerable to information disclosure. The cxgb_extension_ioctl function in drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_main.c does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially confidential information from kernel stack memory via a CHELSIO_GET_QSET_NUM ioctl call.
