Linux kernel may expose internal data via IPv6 router messages
published 6 months ago
Summary
The core Linux operating system can unintentionally include leftover memory when it processes certain IPv6 network messages, which could reveal internal information. While this does not let an attacker take control, it can give them insight into the system's inner workings. Install the latest Linux kernel updates to apply the fix that clears this data before it is sent.
What to do
- Update echo linux to version 6.1.170-1.
