CVE-2019-7222 - log back

CVE-2019-7222 created at 25 Sep 2019 19:31:40
Severity	+ Medium
Remote	+ Local
Type	+ Information disclosure
Description	+ An information leakage issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled page fault exceptions while emulating instructions like VMXON, VMCLEAR, VMPTRLD, and VMWRITE with memory address as an operand. It occurs if the operand is a mmio address, as the returned exception object holds uninitialized stack memory contents. A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak host's stack memory contents to a guest.
