net/ipv4/af_inet.c in Linux kernel 2.4 does not clear sockaddr_in.sin_zero before returning IPv4 socket names from the (1) getsockname, (2) getpeername, and (3) accept functions, which allows local users to obtain portions of potentially sensitive memory.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Linux kernel 2.4 information leak. A local user could receive leftover kernel memory bytes when querying IPv4 socket names. It is not described as remote code execution, and the source bundle shows no active exploitation evidence. Likely limited to legacy systems derived from Linux kernel 2.4 or vendor products addressed by the cited 2006 advisories. Exposure is most relevant where untrusted local users, shared hosting, or multi-tenant shell access existed. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item, not an emergency, unless affected systems still allow untrusted local users. Prioritize patching or retirement of old Linux 2.4-based infrastructure. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining Linux kernel 2.4 or affected vendor systems.; Apply the relevant Red Hat, SUSE, VMware, or kernel-provided security update.; Retire unsupported legacy kernels where vendor fixes are unavailable..
