CVEID: CVE-2013-6737
DESCRIPTION:
In the event of a rare hardware fault (error code 1691), fragments of customer data are dumped to a file that may later be copied from the system by an authorized user of the system who might not otherwise have access to that data. The user has no control over which fragments of customer data a fault causes to be dumped into the file that may be copied. Although this vulnerability could compromise the confidentiality of the data in the dump file, it should not otherwise impact the availability or integrity of the system.
