Description
The swiotlb_print_info function in lib/swiotlb.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.14 allows local users to obtain sensitive address information by reading dmesg data from a "software IO TLB" printk call.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the swiotlb_print_info() function in lib/swiotlb.c allows local users to obtain some kernel address information by reading the kernel log (dmesg). This address is not useful to commit a further attack.
