CVE-2013-2239 - Multiple memory leaks in OpenVZ kernel 2.6.32 (042stab080.1)


Description
===========

Two memory leaks was discovered in the versions before vzkernel
patch 042stab080.2.

One memory leak in ploop:

The ploop_getdevice_ioc function in drivers/block/ploop/dev.c in
the vzkernel patch before 042stab080.2 does not initialize a certain
length variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive
information from kernel stack memory.

One memory leak in quota:

The compat_quotactl function in fs/quota/quota.c in the vzkernel patch
before 042stab080.2 does not initialize a certain length variable,
which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel
stack memory.

Fixed in the 042stab080.2

- [security/ploop] memory info leak fixed (PSBM-20690)
- [security/quota] memory info leak fixed (PSBM-20690)
