Linux-*nix-Security: Remote Memory Reading Through TCP/ICMP
Source: Zero Security
A security vulnerability in Linux allows remote attackers to cause the remote OS to return chucks of "userland" memory (unrestricted memory). This would pose an information leak, possibly allowing gaining of sensitive information.
Systems affected:
Linux
Solaris
It is possible to read parts of a remote machines memory. To be specific, it would have to be memory recently freed/swapped to disk.
