CVE-2019-11833
Publication date 15 May 2019
Last updated 24 July 2024
Ubuntu priority
Cvss 3 Severity Score
fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.2 does not zero out the unused memory region in the extent tree block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized data in the filesystem.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly zero out memory in some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
