The Red Hat mkdumprd script for kexec-tools, as distributed in the kexec-tools 1.x before 1.102pre-154 and 2.x before 2.0.0-209 packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, includes all of root's SSH private keys within a vmcore file, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by inspecting the file content.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw caused Red Hat kexec-tools crash dump setup to place root SSH private keys into vmcore crash files. If an attacker could access those vmcore files, they could recover sensitive keys. The sources do not show active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to older Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems using affected kexec-tools packages and retaining vmcore crash dump files. Treat this as a legacy sensitive-data exposure issue. Prioritize systems that both ran affected Red Hat packages and stored or shared vmcore files. Mitigation focus: Apply the relevant Red Hat kexec-tools updates from RHSA-2011:1532 or RHSA-2012:0152.; Inventory systems with affected kexec-tools package versions.; Restrict access to retained vmcore files pending review..
