| Description: | Ilja van Sprundel discovered that Bluetooth setsockopt calls could leak
kernel memory contents via an uninitialized stack buffer. A local attacker
could exploit this flaw to view sensitive kernel information.
(CVE-2007-1353)
The GEODE-AES driver did not correctly initialize its encryption key. Any data encrypted using this type of device would be easily compromised. (CVE-2007-2451) The random number generator was hashing a subset of the available entropy, leading to slightly less random numbers. Additionally, systems without an entropy source would be seeded with the same inputs at boot time, leading to a repeatable series of random numbers.
