The Juniper Networks Junos OS kernel can create a core dump file when a process crashes that contains process state, for debugging. Due to incorrect initialization of a stack data structure, up to 20 bytes of kernel data previously stored on the stack will be exposed to a crashing user process, potentially disclosing sensitive kernel data.
