DESCRIPTION:
Some weaknesses have been reported in the Linux Kernel, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to disclose certain system
information.

1) The "de4x5_ioctl()" function in drivers/net/tulip/de4x5.c
incorrectly copies an uninitialised structure member to userspace,
which can be exploited to disclose kernel stack memory via the
DE4X5_GET_REG IOCTL.

2) The "cxgb_extension_ioctl()" function in
drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_main.c, the " eql_g_master_cfg()" function in
drivers/net/eql.c, and the "hso_get_count()" function in
drivers/net/usb/hso.c are not properly initializing all members of
certain structures before copying them to userspace, which can be
exploited to disclose kernel stack memory by sending certain IOCTLs.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted users only.
