CVE-2011-1170 is a local information disclosure vulnerability affecting the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.39. It stems from a missing null terminator in string data within net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c, allowing local users with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to extract sensitive kernel memory information. The vulnerability has a low severity CVSS score of 2.1 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N), indicating local access and low attack complexity are required for partial confidentiality impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
