Описание
fs/ext4/inode.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.2, when ext4 data=ordered mode is used, mishandles a needs-flushing-before-commit list, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from other users' files in opportunistic circumstances by waiting for a hardware reset, creating a new file, making write system calls, and reading this file.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where filesystems mounted with data=ordered mode may allow an attacker to read stale data from recently allocated blocks in new files after a system 'reset' by abusing ext4 mechanics of delayed allocation.
Отчет
This issue does not affect the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6. This issue affects the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and MRG-2. Future Linux kernel updates for the respective releases may address this issue. fs
Меры по смягчению последствий
Alternative filesystems may be used in place of ext4 in case of sensitive data leak. Alternatively, don't hard reset the system.
